ART THERAPY IN DUBAI

Art therapy is based on the integration of various therapeutic approaches – including cognitive-behavioral, psychoanalytic, anthropological and systemic methods – and is characterized by its versatility and holistic approach. It does not aim to produce art for art’s sake, but to use artistic expression as a mirror of the soul, providing insights into the self that may remain hidden in traditional talking therapies.

The therapy is primarily offered in psychosomatic and psychiatric clinics, but has also found a place in settings as diverse as nursing homes and special schools. Whether in group sessions or one-to-one settings, the method adapts to the needs of the participants and provides a safe space for exploration and understanding.

At the heart of art therapy is a belief in the healing power of the creative process. Through painting, sculpting, drawing and other forms of artistic expression, people find a voice for their innermost thoughts and feelings, often discovering new aspects of themselves in the process. This form of therapy is particularly suitable for people who find it difficult to express themselves verbally, such as children, dementia sufferers, the mentally disabled or people who suffer from psychological inhibitions.
