childen’s art therapy
Children experience the world a little differently to adults, so children’s art therapy sessions are customised to suit. Kate is warm and friendly and makes children feel at ease quickly. As Kate gets to know your child she is able to offer art making and creative activities that are not only fun and expressive, but that also have therapeutic benefit.
Sensorimotor Art Therapy can be a great way of supporting children experiencing difficulties with focusing, expressing their needs, or relating to others. Also when children are experiencing overwhelming and challenging emotions like anxiety, sadness and anger art making has much to offer.
Sensorimotor Art Therapy can help children to
🪶 better regulate their emotions
🪶 cope with specific things they find challenging (eg. to sensitivities or triggers)
🪶 express and communicate their feelings
🪶 focus more easily at school or on learning tasks
🪶 manage strong feelings like anger or sadness and find calm more easily
🪶 have more fulfilling and loving relationships
Each therapy session is shaped to meet your child, their needs and unique creativity.
Each child is different. Some are naturally drawn to creativity. Others may take a while to warm up to the idea. Sensorimotor Art Therapy sessions progress at a pace to suit your child, always considering their comfort and safety. Kate has a room full of art making materials and enormous regard for the innate, unique creativity that exists within every child.
