Creative Therapy Services
Express, heal, and grow through creative modalities
At The Counselling House, our Creative Therapy Services provide unique, experiential approaches to mental health and personal growth. Using Art, Play, Drama, and Comedy Therapy, clients can explore emotions, process experiences, and develop resilience in ways that go beyond traditional talk therapy. These therapies are suitable for children, teens, and adults, offering a safe, engaging, and expressive space for healing and self-discovery.

- Art Therapy – Using drawing, painting, and other visual arts to process emotions, reduce stress, and increase self-awareness.
- Play Therapy – Developmentally appropriate play interventions for children to explore feelings, learn coping skills, and resolve challenges.
- Drama Therapy – Using role-play, improvisation, and storytelling to explore emotions, relationships, and personal growth.
- Comedy Therapy – Harnessing humor and playfulness to reduce stress, shift perspectives, and improve emotional well-being.
“Creative therapy allows clients to express themselves safely, explore feelings, and discover new ways to cope and grow.”
