Art Therapy Programmes!

We are partnering with experts to develop and implement three new art therapy initiatives coming soon! The positive impacts of art therapy have been repeatedly proven, and we are excited to continue to introduce new programmes led by experienced individuals. These will all be 6 week programmes, which will be available in an online format.


Coming in September 2025: Supporting Parents of Primary School Children with ASD diagnosis

This programme, an art therapy group led by Caroline Murphy will offer a offers a safe and supportive space for parents to express themselves, process emotions, and build stronger connections with their children. Discover the power of art to promote emotional well-being and enhance your parenting journey. No art experience necessary – just a willingness to explore and connect. Parents will also receive practical information, strategies and resources, particularly around regulation and co-regulation. 


Coming in October 2025: Exploring Identity Through Art: Art Therapy for Adults with a New Diagnosis of ADHD

Led by Aisling Morris, this programme will provide a safe, creative, and non judgmental space for adults to process their diagnosis. Peer support will be continually fostered, which will reduce feelings of isolation or inner difficulty. This programme will allow individuals to explore identity, self esteem, and strengths through the art-making process.


Coming in November 2025: 'Unmapped - Claim the 'I', make the Mark! - Neurodivergent Migrant Community - 'Being Seen'

This programme, led by Anya Spark, will be an art therapy group with the goal of supporting migrants and providing a safe space for those most vulnerable to build their confidence and resilience. Neurodivergent migrants are one of the most under-developed areas of psychotherapy and social justice. Art Therapy is effective in trauma-informed migrant support, especially for young and forced migrant populations. The six sessions will empower participants to make their “mark” and tell their story through visual images and art pieces, which encourage being fully seen, heard, supported, and recognized.
