Creative Arts Therapy
Creative arts therapy is a multimodal approach to therapy. It combines psychology and the creative process to promote emotional growth and healing. Creative arts therapy may incorporate writing, drama, dance, movement, painting, and/or music. For some who finds it difficult to articulate what they are feeling, or it is too painful to express in words, self-expression through art can be useful.
Our qualified therapist will explore with them, their responses, reactions, and insights through pictures, sounds, explorations, and encounters with art processes. A person is not required to have artistic ability to use or benefit from expressive arts therapy.
Hence, the child, the adolescent or the adult is able to process their thoughts and feelings that are deeply embedded.
Creative arts therapy may be used as a part of the treatment strategy for a wide variety of behavioral, emotional, and mental health conditions. These include:
- identity issues, low self-esteem, confidence issues
- friendship issues, bullying, socialization difficulties,
- learning difficulties, exam study stress, school challenges
- difficulties managing anxiety, anger, grief and bereavement
- depression and other mood disorders, withdrawal, isolation, selective mute
- Addiction, challenging, risk-taking behaviors/ self-harming thoughts or actions
- family breakdown and conflict, parent and adolescent relationship challenges
- trauma stress related disorder or experience, eating disorder,
- Other mental health issues
