When words are not enough the creative process of Art Therapy becomes a language. Externalising thoughts and feelings, using various art mediums and materials, and in exploring the artwork together as client and therapist, this process allows for a person to see things from a different perspective, to gain insight to their lives and a greater understanding of self.
