Art Therapy
at The Psychology Hub
Creative Support for
Children, Teens & Adults
Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative
expression alongside a therapeutic relationship to support
emotional wellbeing, self-understanding and personal growth.
You do not need to be artistic or "good at art" to benefit from
Art Therapy. The focus is not on creating perfect artwork,
but on exploring thoughts, feelings and experiences in a safe
and supportive environment.
Sometimes images can
express what words cannot.
Who Can Benefit
From Art Therapy?
Art Therapy may be helpful for people experiencing:
Anxiety, stress or overwhelm
Emotional regulation difficulties
Low self-esteem or confidence concerns
Grief, loss or major life changes
Trauma and adverse experiences
Relationship or family challenges
School-related difficulties
Neurodivergence, including ADHD and Autism
Difficulties expressing thoughts and
feelings through words alone
Art Therapy can support children,
adolescents and adults.
What Happens
During a Session?
Sessions are tailored to each person's individual
needs, strengths and interests.
Activities may include:
Drawing and painting
Collage and mixed media
Clay and sculpture
Storytelling and creative exploration
Mindfulness and grounding activities
Discussion and reflection
Some people talk a lot during sessions, while
others communicate more through the creative
process. There is no right or wrong way to
participate.
Why Art Therapy?
Sometimes images can express what
words cannot.
Art Therapy offers a safe, creative and
non-judgemental space to explore emotions,
develop coping skills, build self-awareness
and strengthen confidence.
At The Psychology Hub, our goal is to
help clients feel understood, supported
and empowered while working towards
meaningful personal growth.

Beyond Art: Understanding the Whole Person
Art Therapy is not only about creative expression. It can also support
awareness of the connection between thoughts, emotions, physical
sensations and behaviour.
Body-Based Awareness
Art Therapy can include somatic
(body-based) awareness because
emotions and stress are often
experienced physically as well
as emotionally.
This may involve:
Noticing body sensations
Grounding exercises
Breath awareness
Gentle movement
Sensory regulation
Building awareness of
safety, stress and overwhelm
Behaviour as Communication
At The Psychology Hub, behaviour
is viewed as communication.
Behaviour often reflects unmet needs,
stress, overwhelm, nervous system
activation, sensory experiences,
relationship patterns, attachment
experiences, or emotional states that
may be difficult to express through
words alone.
