Why employ an art therapist?

• Art therapists are a mature, flexible workforce with considerable pre-training work experience
• Art therapists are skilled at engaging hard-to-reach clients of all ages, regardless of their conditions (see what our clients say here)
• Art therapists can work individually and in groups in a client-focused way
• Art therapists provide more than art therapy and engage fully in multi-disciplinary work
• Art therapists provide safe, effective and evidence-based interventions
• Art therapists provide cost-effective psychotherapeutic interventions  
• Benefits for service users extend beyond the therapy sessions: many take up art in their own lives as a wellbeing resource
