In an art therapy session, we collaborate to find a focus for your session. You will be guided to use creative practices such as; drawing, painting, clay, sound, movement, music, writing, poetry, collage, printmaking, photography/video. No previous art experience or skill is needed. We will explore and make meaning of your creation, and reflect on insights gained through the creative process.
