Art therapy is not just about drawing or painting. At the Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education, therapeutic work can involve seven different art forms, each offering a unique way to explore emotions, relationships and life experiences.

These include:
🌱 Art
🌱 Drama and Puppetry
🌱 Sculpture and Clay
🌱 Poetry
🌱 Sandplay
🌱 Music
🌱 Bodywork and Movement

Each form provides a different “language” for expression, particularly when feelings are difficult to put into words. The creative process allows people to explore their inner world safely, reflect on experiences, and make sense of emotions in ways that traditional conversation alone may not allow.

Sometimes the most important conversations happen without words. Find out more- https://artspsychotherapy.org/

Designed for practitioners who want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people.

Our CERTIFICATE IN NEURODIVERSITY: Understanding, Diagnosis and Developing Practice helps professionals explore:

• how neurodiverse differences influence learning, behaviour and relationships
• how sensory and emotional experiences shape everyday life
• how practitioners can develop thoughtful, responsive approaches to support children and young people
