Art therapy encourages an opportunity to express the story physically. Instead of focusing on “tell me”, therapy becomes attuned to “show me”.

Traditionally, Psychology is known as ‘talk therapy’, meaning that it focuses on gaining insight and knowledge through verbal expression. For some people talk therapy is challenging and may stop them seeking help when talking may not feel safe, or it may not feel relevant to the help that they are seeking.

We know that sometimes words do not adequately convey the stories that we need to tell, and there may be some days when talking is just too hard as it costs too much energy.

In a nutshell…. talk therapy may not be for everyone.
