Art Therapy

Psychodynamic Art Therapy

We are able to provide Art Therapy as part of our support at Spark Academy. We are proud to have Lauren as part of our team at Spark Academy. She is HCPC-registered and a BAAT-accredited Art Psychotherapist. Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that harnesses the therapeutic benefits of creativity and art-making to express thoughts and emotions. Many find this approach less confrontational than traditional talking therapies, making it a unique and engaging alternative. It is particularly beneficial for children who struggle to verbalize their feelings, and those with communication difficulties. Art Therapy offers a private and confidential space where your child can safely share their emotions with a qualified therapist.

Lauren has extensive experience working with children and adolescents facing a range of challenges, including:

Trauma

Self-harm
Eating disorders

Her expertise allows her to provide compassionate and tailored support to help young people navigate their emotions and experiences.

She has also worked with families in her dyadic work (parent and child sessions) to support attachment, relationship building, and communication. She offers therapeutic parenting sessions alongside work with the child to support the family unit as a whole. This enables parents to understand and gain insight into their child’s internal world while learning therapeutic methods and strategies.

We are able to offer private 1-1 art therapy sessions or individual bespoke sessions as part of an education other than at school package.
