What to expect

Arts therapy creates a calm, non-judgemental space where young people can express thoughts and feelings through creativity rather than words alone.

Through guided creative methods such as art-making, play, music and drama, alongside therapeutic support, young people are encouraged to:

  • Explore emotions safely
  • Build self-esteem and confidence
  • Develop emotional awareness and coping skills
  • Feel more regulated and supported

We currently deliver art therapy in the following schools:

  • St Marylebone CE Bridge School
  • College Park George Eliot
  • College Park Bayswater
  • Ormiston Kensington Queensmill Academy
  • Ormiston Latimer Academy

What people say about the service

“After art therapy, he came back to class happy today, smiling lots. He seems to be able to calm himself more quickly.”
“Things have been smoother in recent weeks. He is managing to self-regulate more and is integrating into the class activities rather than keeping separate.”
“Thank you, art therapy is a good space for me.”
“We have noticed our daughter’s concentration has improved. We have seen a big improvement recently. She has started to sit in front of the TV with her sisters to watch a show. Not something she could do before.”
“He is more able to express himself now. The arts therapy has had a positive effect on him.”
“It is a safe space to explore feelings.”
“Dramatherapy helped me understand my feelings.”

These words capture what this service is all about: helping people feel seen, heard and less alone.
