Description
About the Practice
When a child’s behaviour is the only visible part of the distress, art therapy can help the hidden story surface safely. Creative Minds Art Therapy Newcastle gives Newcastle upon Tyne families a creative therapy route for children and young people who cannot always explain distress through words alone. The work is therapy, not an art class, music lesson or drama club: the creative medium is used to support emotional expression, regulation and repair.
