Julia Britton Artist

Julia Britton Artist

Northampton, Northamptonshire, East Midlands, NN2 7AL

My identity as an artist is very much grounded in my training as an art psychotherapist. Art psychotherapy (also called art therapy) is a psychological therapy that uses art making as a way to express and work through difficult feelings and explore solutions to personal problems. It uses the unique qualities of the art making process to help people to express, reflect on and understand emotions. Making images can stimulate storytelling, and can help to access more unconscious feelings. less
