Art Therapy with Laura Fleming

Adults

The framework in art therapy for adults is set to ensure a supportive environment for exploration and growth. The art therapist, art materials and space are the three elements that help create that possibility you need to address the emotions that arise in relation to different aspects of your life. A typical session would include a verbal check-in to see how you are feeling followed by a time to create and ending with a time to reflect on the art making and the feelings or thoughts that arise during the process.

Children

Art therapy is ideal for children as it focuses on the important aspects of childhood such as play and spontaneity. The art therapy sessions become a playground for life, and the use of different materials allows a child to discover a different way of expression which accompanies language which is often not enough for our little ones. While limits are set, the art therapy experience for children allows them to grow and learn through internalised sensations and feelings.
