Art Therapy
Art therapy can be described as a form of psychotherapy which uses artistic expression to help to express yourself. Anyone can participate in art therapy, and you do not need to be good at art to do so but it can only be delivered by a trained art therapist. The goal of art therapy is to utilize the creative process to help people explore self-expression and find new ways to gain personal insight and develop new coping skills. The creation or appreciation of art is used to help people explore emotions, develop self-awareness, manage stress, aid self-esteem social skills.
Counselling
Counselling is a talking therapy that involves a trained therapist listening to you and helping you find ways to deal with emotional issues. Sometimes the term "counselling" is used to refer to talking therapies in general, but counselling is also a type of therapy in its own right.
Dyadic Art Therapy
Dyadic psychotherapy is a way of working which focuses on the child’s primary attachment. It helps to strengthen and explore the relationship between the dyads and the therapist does not become the child’s or caregiver’s therapist but more the therapist of the relationship.
