About the Practice
When words shut a child down, art can give fear, grief or anger a safer place to appear. London Art Therapy Centre Islington Children and Families supports North London 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?
HCPC Art Therapy Route: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.

Creative Therapy for Children and Families: 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: Children can communicate through image, colour and metaphor while parents begin to understand what sits beneath silence, avoidance or distress.
