Developing Minds Therapy Centre - Child Art Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy through art is for young people who are experiencing emotional and behavioural disturbances and find it challenging to communicate or understand why they feel this way.

The process of Art Psychotherapy can benefit in many ways as it is relational and fosters consistency and containment. The psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approach of Art Psychotherapy incorporates verbal and non-verbal communication to gain insight into the child’s thoughts and beliefs systems. The focus of therapy is to understand the unconscious material that influences behaviour and emotions in order to foster change and promote healthy psychological functioning.
