Description
About the Practice
When your child needs a therapist who understands both image-making and clinical holding, art psychotherapy can create a safer route into the hard material. Andrew C Wright Mindscape Art Psychotherapy gives Bournemouth 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.
