Clients Groups of Art Therapy
Art Therapy is of great help whether it be for physical, psychic or social reasons. Art therapy is especially recommended for those who find it difficult to articulate their emotions and feelings for whatever reason.
The fields of application of Art Therapy extend to social environments, education centres, clinics and in a private workshop such as El Nido. A common characteristic of each of these spaces is that the Art Therapist and client work together without interruption. This is extremely important in order to maintain the highest level of confidentiality and to promote the personal development of the client. In this secure environment, the client can express their problems and potential solutions under the attentive watch of the art therapist Gemma Vega Alocén.
