Art therapy involves the use of art materials for self expression and reflection in the prescence of a trained art therapist. Clients who go to an art therapist need not have previous experience in art. The overall aim is to effect change and growth on a personal level through the use of art materials in a safe environment rather than develop artistic ability.

The relationship between art therapist and client is of central importance.

Art therapy differs from other psychological therapies in that it is a three way process between client, therapist and image or artefact.

It therefore offers the opportunity for expression and communication which is very helpful to adults and children who find it hard to express thoughts and feelings verbally.
