Group Art Psychotherapy
Group art psychotherapy can be a deeply rich and healing experience. Creating and reflecting alongside others offers a different kind of support than individual therapy. It brings connection, shared understanding, and the opportunity to see that you are not alone in your experiences.
Of course, joining a group can feel daunting at first. It’s natural to wonder how it might feel to share a space and make and share art alongside others. But many people find that the benefits of being part of a therapy group far outweigh those first nerves.
Some of the benefits of group art therapy include:
realising you are not alone in your struggles
experiencing empathy, encouragement, and connection with others
learning from different perspectives and ways of coping
developing confidence in expressing yourself within a supportive environment
feeling a sense of belonging and community
benefiting from both making your own art and witnessing the creativity of others
