What is Art Therapy?

The overall endeavour of Art Therapy is to effect change and growth on a personal level through the use of art materials in a safe environment.
Biography
Art Therapy is a three way process that focuses on the use of art materials and the relationship between the therapist and the client.
Adults, adolescents and children referred too an Art Therapist need not have any previous experience or skill in art. The Art Therapist is not primarily concerned with making an aesthetic or diagnostic assessment of the art work.
Art Therapy is not dependent on spoken language and can therefore be helpful to anyone who finds difficulty in expressing their thoughts and feelings.
I studied Fine Art at Derby University, going on to take my Masters in Art Therapy and I have been an artist for many years.
