Creative Therapies

How it works:
Creative therapies use artistic and expressive techniques to help you explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences that can be difficult to express with words alone. This approach recognises that creativity — through art, music, movement, writing, or drama — can provide insight, release, and personal growth. It helps you connect with your emotions, uncover patterns, and experiment with new ways of expressing yourself in a safe and supportive space.

In practice:
Sessions may involve drawing, painting, sculpting, music, movement, or other creative exercises that allow you to explore your inner world. The focus is on the process of creation and self-expression rather than producing a “finished product.” Your therapist supports you in reflecting on what emerges and integrating these insights into your everyday life, helping you gain awareness, healing, and a sense of empowerment.

Why it helps:
Creative therapies can reduce stress, enhance emotional expression, and support self-discovery. They provide a safe outlet for processing emotions, working through trauma, and exploring personal challenges. Engaging creatively can also boost confidence, foster problem-solving skills, and strengthen your connection to yourself and others.

Who it’s for:
This approach is ideal for anyone who enjoys creative expression or finds it easier to communicate through art, movement, or other non-verbal forms. It is particularly helpful for people who want to explore emotions, gain insight, or work through experiences in a playful, expressive, and experiential way.
