Guided Art Therapy with Kerry Evitts, Artist & Art Therapist
Children will explore creative expression through colour, texture and imaginative play in a safe, supportive environment. Art therapy helps:
- Reduce stress and overwhelm
- Support emotional regulation
- Build self-awareness & healthy coping strategies
- Transform big feelings into visual stories children can understand
Kerry will guide kids through gentle, therapeutic art-making techniques designed to soothe the mind while empowering them to express what words can’t.
