Art therapy is a way of supporting adults and children to explore their life challenges and develop an emotional language in a safe and confidential setting. Art therapy is used to facilitate creative expression where the client uses art materials and the process of art as a way of communicating their thoughts, feelings and experiences. Art therapy differs from other therapies as it uses various art tools; paint, clay, collage etc. to support people to express and raise awareness of their issues beyond the reach of words alone. Our art therapy service is accessible to adults and children aged 5+ (consent is required for under 18’s). We offer individual and group sessions. Art therapy is available in Mallow – three days a week and we offer a low-cost scale of fees for our service. Referrals are accepted from GP’s, hospitals, schools, colleges, community services and organisations as well as directly from individuals. For information regarding appointments, call us on 087 3735000 our dedicated Counselling phone or 022 42439.
