About the Practice
When talking therapy feels too exposing for a child, art, music, drama or play can open a safer door. Birmingham Centre for Arts Therapies supports Birmingham families with play-based and counselling-style emotional wellbeing support for children who need more than another conversation at the kitchen table. The focus is safer expression, stronger connection and practical understanding for the adults around the child.

Why Work With Us?
Registered Arts Therapy Team: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.

Creative Therapy Pathways: Play, creative work and counselling-style support help children communicate through action, story, art, movement and relationship when direct questions only make them close down.

Parent and School Connection: Families can access child-friendly emotional support that uses creative expression rather than relying only on direct questions.
