This is art therapy

This is art therapy is a UK-wide campaign championing the difference art therapy can make to people’s lives.

Raising awareness of art therapy

Art therapy can make a profound difference to people’s lives. It is an established form of psychotherapy, delivered by trained art therapists (also called art psychotherapists).

Art therapy can:

  1. Help when words are not enough

  2. Provide accessible and adaptable therapy to a wide range of people and settings

  3. Provide interventions with a growing evidence base

But too often, access to art therapy is limited — whether through lack of information, funding, or commissioning.
