How we work with schools
How we work with schools
We work closely with pastoral and SEND teams to shape a plan that fits your setting. Depending on need, we offer individual art therapy, usually a series of twelve sessions, and small therapeutic groups delivered over six weeks. We build in liaison time with staff and parents so support is joined up. Our approach is gentle, child-centred, and developmentally appropriate. We set goals with the school and review progress termly.

Schools often notice improved emotional expression and engagement, alongside clearer communication with adults after attending art therapy.
