artplus
artplus uses art-making and psychotherapy and combines them to effect change and growth, self awareness and healing.
You do not need to have any previous arts skills or experience to be able to make use of the therapy at a personal level.
Art Therapy can help a wide range of people experiencing a wide range of difficulties such as self-esteem, bereavement, depression, anxiety and general life struggles.
By expressing yourself through creativity, an art therapist can help you see things in your artwork and in the artmaking process that facilitates an understanding of certain aspects of yourself.
