What are the Arts Therapies?

The arts therapies are four distinct professional bodies comprising Art Therapy, Music Therapy, Dramatherapy and Dance Movement Therapy.

The aim of the arts therapies is to offer therapeutic intervention to those with developmental, psychological and emotional difficulties, in a way that uses arts processes as a principal form of communication.

In developing a safe relationship, therapists use specialist skills to create a space where clients may be able to gain emotional awareness and insight to effect change on a personal level.
