Online Art Therapy: Just as Powerful as In-Person Support
🌿 Online Art Therapy: Just as Powerful as In-Person Support
Starting therapy online can feel unfamiliar — especially if you’re used to face-to-face sessions or are navigating technology for the first time. But here’s the reassuring truth: online art therapy offers the same emotional support, creativity, and connection as meeting in person.
Whether you're joining from home, a support service, or a quiet corner of your day, online sessions are designed to be safe, accessible, and deeply personal. Let’s explore how it works.
🎨 Same Therapy, Just Online
Online art therapy follows the same structure and care as in-person sessions. We explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals using a person-centred approach — through art-making, conversation, and reflection.
You’re supported every step of the way, with sessions tailored to your needs, preferences, and pace. The screen doesn’t change the heart of the work — it simply offers a new way to connect.
🖼️ Same Creative Process
You don’t need fancy materials or an art studio. A few pencils, markers, or sheets of paper from home are more than enough.
Art therapy isn’t about being “good” at art — it’s about using creativity to express, explore, and heal. Whether you’re scribbling, sketching, or simply choosing colours, your process is valid and meaningful.
💬 Same Connection and Support
We meet regularly via video, build trust, and co-create a safe space together. I’ll guide you through each session with care, curiosity, and insight — just like I would in person.
You’re welcome to share your artwork by holding it up to the camera, describing it, or simply reflecting on the process. Every expression is honoured.
🛠️ Same Structure and Boundaries
Online sessions are professional, confidential, and clearly structured. You’ll receive a Service Agreement, session plan, and easy-to-follow instructions before we begin.
Boundaries around time, privacy, and safety are maintained with the same respect and clarity as in-person therapy.
🌐 Extra Benefits of Online Therapy
Online delivery also brings some unique advantages:
You can join from the comfort of your own space
No travel required — ideal for accessibility and flexibility
Familiar surroundings can support your creativity and regulation
For many clients, online therapy offers a sense of ease and autonomy that enhances the therapeutic experience.
If you’ve been curious about online therapy but unsure how it compares, I hope this gives you clarity and confidence. The heart of art therapy — connection, creativity, and care — remains unchanged.
Whether we meet in person or through a screen, your story, your art, and your healing matter.
