Art therapy for older children – Going to art therapy
A story about seeing an Art Therapist.


In art therapy, you can use many different art materials to express yourself.
This might help you to feel calm.

In art therapy, you can talk about lots of things. You can talk about how you’re feeling and what you’re thinking.
Your Art Therapist might ask you questions to learn more about you and what you like. A Parent or family member can come with you if you feel nervous.

If you need to, you can say:
“I don’t want to talk about that today”

You will see your art therapist once a week for a short time.
