Untapped Art Therapy: Transforming Young Lives Through Art Therapy in Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole
We are a charity committed to reducing youth suicide and self-harm in Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole. Our mission is to support vulnerable children and young people by offering art therapy which has a profound impact on mental health and emotional well-being.
Art Psychotherapy:
We provide individual Art Psychotherapy sessions, to support young people explore their emotions and experiences through creative expression.
Art Therapy Groups:
Our Art Therapy Groups offer a supportive environment where children and young people can connect with others facing similar challenges, using art as a medium for healing and self-discovery.
CATT (Children’s Accelerated Trauma Therapy):
We specialise in CATT, a therapeutic approach specifically developed to help children recover from trauma more quickly and effectively.
Since our inception in 1995 as a community arts company, Untapped has evolved into a specialist provider of Art Psychotherapy services. We have a rich history of delivering art workshops to vulnerable groups. Today, our primary focus is on delivering high-quality Art Psychotherapy to relieve the suffering of vulnerable young people, particularly those who are neurodivergent.
Specialisation in Neurodivergent Clients:
We have extensive experience working with neurodivergent children and young people, understanding their unique needs and tailoring our therapy to support their individual journeys.
Qualified Professionals:
All our Art Psychotherapists hold an MA in Art Psychotherapy, are HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) registered, DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked, and fully insured, ensuring the highest standard of care and professionalism.
Untapped remains steadfast in our commitment to alleviating the mental health struggles of vulnerable young people in our community. Through the power of art therapy, we help them find hope, resilience, and a path to healing.
