Art therapy can offer a safe, gentle space to explore feelings through art making. It’s always helpful to hear how clients have experienced their time in art therapy. Shared anonymously, with permission.
I currently have spaces for online clients, so if you’re curious about online art therapy or how it might support you, you’re welcome to send me a message!

This week is BAAT’s Art Therapy in Hospices Week

Art therapy can play such an important role in hospices—offering a safe, creative space for people to express emotions, reflect on their experiences, and find comfort through creativity at a difficult time.

It’s not about making ‘good art’—it’s about creating space for expression, connection, and meaning. For patients, families, and staff, art therapy can provide a moment of calm, reflection, and even hope.

I’m proud to stand alongside fellow art therapists in raising awareness of this work and the difference it can make.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day!🧡 For many autistic people, verbal communication can be challenging—but art making speaks in its own way. This is where art therapy can be so powerful!

✅ Supports communication – Art therapy provides a non-verbal way to express thoughts and emotions.
✅ Encourages self-expression – A safe space to create freely, without pressure or judgment.
✅ Can help with sensory regulation – Working with different textures and colors can be calming and grounding.

One of the biggest myths about art therapy is that you need to be good at art. But art therapy isn’t about making masterpieces—it’s about self-expression, reflection, and emotional healing.

🖌 No artistic skills required
🎨 No judgment—just creativity
💙 The focus is on the process, not the final product

In art therapy, it’s not just about paint and paper—every material, toy, and object can become a tool for self-expression and healing. From soft clay for grounding emotions to collage-making for storytelling, each medium helps clients explore their thoughts and feelings in unique ways.

Tactile objects like dolls, sand trays, or even found objects can unlock memories, encourage play, and provide comfort, making therapy more accessible and meaningful for all ages. 🎨
