Art therapy provides patients with a creative outlet through various mediums such as drawing, painting, collaging, and colouring, offering an alternative to traditional talk therapy approaches.

This therapeutic method invites patients to explore psychological and emotional themes through their artistic creations. Under the guidance of our qualified art therapist, patients can uncover deeper insights by examining the nonverbal messages, symbols, and metaphors that emerge in their work.

Our art therapy services are available in both individual and group formats across all inpatient specialties, ensuring comprehensive support tailored to each patient's needs and treatment context.

Our Services

We provide individual and group art therapy services across our inpatient specialties.

We collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to support patients and families coping with hospitalisation, providing holistic care throughout their treatment journey. We provide both individual and group art therapy sessions tailored to our inpatient specialties, where patients are encouraged to explore various art materials under the guidance of our therapist, regardless of prior experience.

During these sessions, the focus is on reflecting on the creative process, fostering personal well-being, relaxation, positive self-esteem, and healing. Furthermore, art therapy can enhance cognitive and sensory-motor functions, promote insight and self-awareness, and improve social skills.

What Happens in an Art Therapy Session?

Art therapy sessions are conducted at patient’s bedside or a safe space to encourage creativity and exploration of thoughts and feelings.

A variety of art materials would be provided and sessions are guided by the art therapist through given themes or free exploration. At the end of each session, patients would be encouraged to reflect on their artworks and finding meaning to their reflections with the guidance of the art therapist.
