Psychology is "about understanding what makes people tick and how this understanding can help us address many of the problems and issues in society today" (BPS).
People seek the help and support of psychologists and psychotherapists for all sorts of problems.
In Psychotherapy you are offered a safe environment in which you can talk through everyday difficulties, gain deeper insight into the issues you face and find better ways to cope. Art Psychotherapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that involves the encouragement of free self-expression through creative methods.
