It's an approach where art media is used within a therapeutic context to support individuals. People find it helpful for different reasons, such as processing difficult emotions and expressing themselves beyond words, finding a sense of relief, building self-esteem through art making, among other things. There’s no need to have skills to benefit from art therapy since it’s the process that matters more than the final result.

​

Art making within a therapeutic context can bring up lots of emotions. The art therapist makes sure the space remains secure enough to allow what comes up to be expressed and processed safely and without judgment. Rather than interpreting the artworks, the art therapist can guide, make suggestions, and reflect the creative process. I believe that each individual are the best to know what their artworks really means to them.

The use of art media in art therapy

​

Each artistic medium has its own unique properties, and the benefits of using art media in art therapy vary from person to person. Each session is therefore led by a professional and trained art therapist, and adapted to the individual’s specific needs and strengths.
