What sort of person comes to Art Psychotherapy?

​

There really isn't a particular 'type' of person who comes to Art Psychotherapy. People of all ages and backgrounds seek therapy for many different reasons, and everyone's experiences are unique.

​

You might be struggling with difficult thoughts or feelings, finding relationships challenging, or feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low or stuck. Perhaps you spend a lot of time worrying, overthinking or trying to keep things together for everyone else, while finding it increasingly difficult to manage things for yourself. You might feel disconnected from yourself or others, struggle with confidence or self-esteem, or find it difficult to understand or express what you're feeling.

​

Sometimes, there may be a particular experience, relationship or period in your life that has left you feeling unsettled. At other times, there may be no obvious reason at all. You might simply have a sense that something doesn't feel right, that you're not feeling like yourself, or that life has become harder than it needs to be.

​

You don't need to have a diagnosis, be experiencing a mental health crisis or know exactly what you want help with. You don't even need to have the words to explain how you're feeling. Sometimes, knowing that you're struggling is enough of a starting point.

​

Art Psychotherapy offers a space where you can begin to explore what's going on at your own pace, without feeling that you need to have all the answers. We can work together to make sense of your experiences, understand what might be contributing to how you're feeling and consider what might help you move forward.

​

You don't have to wait until things become unbearable to seek support. If something is troubling you, that's enough reason to get in touch.
