What is art (psycho)therapy?

How can it help me?

Through creative expression, you can explore emotions and find healing. But, 'art as therapy' is not art (psycho)therapy. The role of art (psycho)therapists is important, and by the way, they are not teachers or coaches.

Their role is to facilitate and accompany you, but not guide or teach you. They can contain and help you to process the content appearing during therapy, and cooperate with you to use the space. If you want to know more please follow the links below.

Who is the art therapist?

My name is Yuxi, I provide art psychotherapy through Edinburgh and Mid-Lothian. I am dedicated to promoting mental health and creative self-expression through visual art. I have background in fine art, art psychotherapy, psychology, and education. I have been working with children in primary school, college and university students, and adults.

My service include online and in-person individual and small group art psychotherapy. I would like to pay special attention to minor groups with cross-cultural/multicultural experiences in the UK, to provide affordable art therapy service to more people.

I offer student price and limited charitable slots on monthly basis.

Wheelchair accessible appointment can be arranged in Leith, Edinburgh.

"I highly recommend Yuxi to anyone seeking your creative approaches in psychotherapy."
