Arts Therapies

The arts therapies (Art, Drama, Music and Play), use creativity and imagination to improve mental health. The arts therapies are particularly helpful to those who prefer a less verbal approach. Children and young adults use play, drama, music or art to explore, express reflect and recover from difficult or challenging events. Arts therapists are clinicians and are registered and regulated in the U.K. All NESSie therapists are registered with an accredited body (HCPC, UKCP, BACP or PTUK) and have been employed in line with Hertfordshire’s Safer Recruitment Policy.

Counselling provides people with a secure, confidential environment where they can express and understand their feelings, thoughts and emotions. Therapy and counselling can be provided online, face to face, by telephone in educational or community settings.
