what is sensorimotor art therapy?

Sometimes it’s hard to find the words to express our feelings. Sometimes it’s hard to even understand how we’re feeling, let alone find the words.

Sensorimotor Art Therapy prioitises safety and connection, allowing us to process and express emotions that might otherwise be difficult to verbalise. It responds to the needs of each individual person and can help develop skills to cope with the challenges of life, strengthen relationships with self and others, and move toward ease, wellbeing and wholeness.

“There’s a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.”

— Rumi
