What is Expressive Arts Therapy?
And how is it different from Art therapy?
Expressive Arts Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses both verbal and non-verbal expression to explore your inner world.
Like art therapy, it invites creativity into the therapeutic process — but expressive arts therapy draws from many different forms of expression, not only visual art. Sessions may include movement, music, imagery, storytelling, poetry, drama, writing, film, and other creative processes, depending on what feels supportive and meaningful.
These creative approaches can open new ways of understanding ourselves, helping us access experiences, emotions, and insights that may be difficult to reach through words alone. Working through the body, imagination, and senses can result in unexpected meanings and perspectives to emerge.
Because expressive arts therapy does not require talking through painful experiences in detail, it can offer a gentler approach for people carrying trauma, or experiences that are difficult to put into words.
You don't need to be an artist. You just need to be curious.
Expressive Arts Therapy is for anyone wanting to know themselves more deeply and feel more at ease in life — whether you're moving through a life transition, experiencing grief or anxiety, feeling creatively blocked, navigating adolescence, or simply curious about yourself. It can be especially supportive for people who already have a creative practice, and equally for those who feel they’re “not creative”.
