Does life feel unmanageable at the moment?

Are you tired of feeling this way and of finding everything a struggle?  It can be difficult to make sense of our thoughts, feelings and emotions. Often we can't find the right words, they get in the way or words, simply, are not enough. We learn to think in images -(our visual ‘language’) before we develop our verbal language. Art Psychotherapy or Art Therapy (the titles are interchangeable) helps people deal with and make sense of difficult life experiences. It helps you tell your stories, to (yourself & others), promoting personal growth and increased self-understanding.
It can help to resolve inner conflicts and gain a sense of control over difficult emotions and life situations.
Like other forms of psychotherapy and counselling,  Art Psychotherapy is used to help deal with feelings, improve self esteem.express oneself and find new solutions to old problems.
