Child-Centred & Adaptive
Tailored sessions for ages 5–16 in schools/PRUs: sensory tools for nonverbal expression, structured prompts for emotional articulation, and trauma/anxiety support. Collaborative art-making builds trust, autonomy, and growth.
Innovative Methods
Blend traditional materials, role-play, ASMR, and digital tools to create dynamic, multisensory spaces. Child-led exploration (textures, sound, movement) reveals coping strategies, fostering self-advocacy and resilience.
Expanding Access
Partnering with hospitals, charities, and youth services. Future plans: online sessions, workshops in rented spaces, and ethical growth guided by practice insights.
Art unlocks voices. Growth starts here. 🎨
