Course overview
Course description
This art therapy course offers a supportive and nurturing environment for individuals seeking to improve their mental wellbeing, confidence, and self-esteem through creative expression. Designed for people of all artistic abilities, it emphasizes exploration, self-reflection, and healing rather than artistic skill or perfection. Whether you're new to creative activities or already enjoy making art, this course provides a safe space to express your thoughts and emotions visually.
Guided by experienced facilitators trained in art therapy, each session combines engaging art activities with therapeutic practices that encourage emotional release, self-awareness, and positive coping strategies. Participants will explore various art mediums, from drawing and painting to collage and mixed media, as tools for self-expression and personal growth. Through these creative exercises, you'll develop new ways to process emotions, build resilience, and cultivate a stronger sense of self-worth.
In addition to individual art-making, participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences in a supportive group setting, fostering connection and mutual understanding. By the end of the course, you will gain valuable insights, improved confidence, and practical tools to continue using art as a means of self-care. Rediscover your inner strength and embrace the healing power of creativity in this transformative journey.
