Art Therapy Edinburgh
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative expression to support emotional wellbeing. At Perry Psychotherapy, art therapy in Edinburgh is offered in a calm, confidential environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings through images, materials, and symbolic expression rather than words alone.
No artistic skill is required. The focus is on the process, not the final artwork.
What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy is a recognised psychological therapy that combines creative practice with psychodynamic understanding. It can help individuals process difficult emotions, improve self-awareness, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
Sessions may involve drawing, painting, collage, or other creative methods, guided by a qualified art psychotherapist.
