What happens in an Art Therapy session?
Check In - At the beginning of each art therapy session there is an open discussion about how the client has been since the previous session. This is a time to review any therapeutic goals and what the client wishes to address in this session. The client can also use the time to look back at the previous art-work, should they decide to add to it.

Individual Sessions | Children & Adolescents
Eveleen will provide an initial consultation with the parents/guardians or possible third party to assess the needs for the young person. An intake interview is carried out with the parents/guardians over the phone or in person.
The initial art therapy session will provide the young person with a sense of whether art therapy is for them and allows them to understand the process better.
