Children under the age of 11 yrs old tend to be accompanied for the assessment session and those over 11 yrs old can decide if they wish a parent or carer present. The assessment session provides an opportunity to reflect on the issues that are of concern to the young person. Regular sessions After the first meeting if it is felt that Art Therapy Works could help the young person then a commitment to 6 - 12 sessions is agreed. In some cases more sessions may be required to work through particularly difficult issues. The sessions will normally last one hour and take place on a weekly basis. If you would like to make an initial appointment or to discuss how art therapy may benefit your child or adolescent. Please contact me.
