Arts therapy information for health professionals

Arts therapy uses the creative process of making art as a safe way to represent inner experiences, develop awareness and support personal change. Arts therapy can help people cope with difficulties and stress, and speed up the process of recovery.

Location

There are two centres offering art therapy within Perth, Creative Expression Centre for Arts Therapy (CECAT) and Reflections Art Studio (RAS).
