Art Therapy for Children, Teens and Families

We specialise in supporting neurodivergent children, individuals and their families through creative, trauma-informed therapy that helps children feel safe, connected, and confident. 

Does your child...

  • Feel overwhelmed by big emotions or frequent meltdowns?

  • Struggle with anxiety, worries, or sensory overload?

  • Have difficulty making or keeping friendships?

  • Find it hard to express what they’re feeling — or even understand it?

  • Seem distant, disconnected, or hard to reach?

  • Experience challenges related to ADHD, autism, or emotional sensitivity?

You're not alone. And there’s a safe, creative way forward.

At LiArt, We Help Children and Families Thrive​

We specialise in creative art therapy for neurodivergent children, teens, and their families — offering a warm, non-judgmental space to explore feelings, build emotional tools, and deepen understanding.

Our evidence-based, trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming approach supports:​

  • Emotional regulation and anxiety

  • Communication & self-expression

  • Reducing anxiety & building resilience

  • Social communication and peer interactions

  • Parent-child connection

  • Confidence, self-esteem, and sensory awareness

  • Behavioural challenges and meltdowns

  • Relationship and family connection difficulties

  • Low confidence, self-esteem, and sensory overwhelm

  • School refusal, transitions, and identity development

​

Our goal is to help each individual feel safe, seen, and supported — while also empowering families with practical strategies and deeper understanding.

​

Why Art Therapy?​​

Art speaks where words sometimes can’t. Through drawing, painting, movement, and playful expression, children are invited to explore emotions safely and gently.

Therapy becomes a place of curiosity, not correction. A space where your child can feel understood — not fixed.

And you, as a parent or caregiver, are part of the journey too.
