Art therapy is a modern therapeutic approach that combines art and psychotherapy. It allows individuals to understand and express their emotions in a socially acceptable way through activities such as painting, sculpting, colouring, and other creative means. Art therapy is suitable for people of all ages, including children. It is particularly effective during periods of crisis or when dealing with issues like fear, anxiety, depression, behavioural problems, obsessive thoughts, and compulsive actions.
Research indicates that art therapy can help individuals feel more in control of their lives, aiding in the management and reduction of anxiety and depression symptoms. Importantly, no talent, skill, or prior knowledge of drawing is required to benefit from art therapy.
