Inked Art Therapy

Art Is Therapy is a mail club with a difference.
My hope is this little monthly letter, filled with art, reflection and connection, helps a few more people to slow down, be creative without pressure and get to know themselves whilst they do it

Our upcoming theme is “Inner Voice”

Sometimes there are parts of our story that feel too painful or overwhelming to say out loud. You might know something needs attention, but the idea of talking about it feels impossible

Art Therapy can offer another way in

Some experiences, memories, or emotions are simply too distressing to approach directly, especially where trauma is involved. Art can create a bit of distance. Instead of having to explain everything in words, you can represent feelings through colour, shape, texture, or symbols. An abstract mark on a page can sometimes hold something that words can’t safely carry yet

Art also moves the experience outside of you. Once it exists on the page, it becomes something you can look at, sit with, and explore without it completely overwhelming you

The process of making art can be regulating too. Working with your hands, focusing on materials, and staying present with colour and form can help keep your nervous system steadier while difficult things are explored

You don’t need to be “good at art” for this to work. Art Therapy isn’t about being artistic. It’s about finding a different language for the parts of your experience that words can’t easily reach

If this resonates with you and you’re curious about whether Art Therapy could help, feel free to reach out

The core of my Art Is Therapy mail for May has been made

Each month you’ll receive:
🌱 A card prompting reflective art
🌱 A curated set of questions to help you explore it
🌱 A letter, a small piece of handmade art and some extra goodies for journalling

Inspired by tried-and-tested art therapy techniques, these cards are designed to help you connect with your subconscious and understand yourself a little better each month

Joining this club is a commitment to slow, honest, and vulnerable self-exploration. Each month focuses on a different piece of what makes you, you: what drives your behaviours, your communication, your relationships, and your self-worth

The core pieces are ready: cards and questions built on over a decade of therapy experience, informed by my own journey and my clients’ willingness to explore through art. More pieces will be added over time, but this is the core of what you’re signing up for

"Cutting down on supervision and art-based processes may be a response to pressure to ‘do more with less’, but it may contribute to doing less and doing it less well for our service users, our organisations and ourselves."

🔥 In our latest hot topics article, Dr Val Huet shares what makes good art therapy supervision and why it's so important for practitioners.

I made these cards for my art therapy–inspired snail mail club from one large sheet of watercolour paper

As I cut the sheet down into individual cards, they became jumbled and I could no longer see where they connected. Each one took on a life of its own, becoming a complete piece in itself

Realising that felt powerful, but also a little sad. So I rearranged them until I could see the full page again in its original form

It left me thinking about connection and community. We all have separate lives, worries, beliefs, and goals. But we’re still, and always will be, part of something large

This snail mail club is a small example of that. In a couple of months these cards will go out into the world and 20 people will be connected without ever crossing paths. Each person will hold a small piece of something bigger

And I think that’s really special

I'm really excited about this new project.
Being able to share some of the power of art therapy through a monthly reflection prompt in the post is something I've been turning over in my head for the longest time, and I've finally fine tuned it enough to start
