Creative & expressive arts therapy is an integrative, multimodal approach that utilises a variety of methods including painting, sculpting, writing, music, visual arts, drama, and movement to help people achieve personal growth. It has been defined as a process of self-discovery that relies on artistic self-expression as a way to achieve emotional release. This type of therapeutic approach is characterised by a focus on the creative process itself, utilising a wide range of materials, and exploring a number of different techniques as part of a therapeutic intervention and can give you a richer vocabulary to work, play and grow a life you love living. People who are experiencing challenges may have a difficult time expressing or describing how they feel. The use of expressive art can help people learn more about themselves and share what they are feeling in a therapeutic context.
