Art therapy with Tori

• What they offer / teach

  Tori McGrath, an HCPC-registered MSc Art Psychotherapist with BAAT full membership, offers weekly one-to-one art therapy sessions in Belfast using materials such as paint, oil pastels, clay and fabrics. For young people this supports challenges including ASD, ADHD, self-harm, bereavement and behavioural difficulties, while adult work covers trauma, grief, eating disorders, anxiety and mental health challenges. Stated benefits include safely expressing emotions, managing stress, building coping strategies and enhancing confidence and self-esteem.

• Ages served

  The page states that art therapy is offered to children, teenagers and adults, and that it can help process emotions for any age group. No specific minimum or maximum age is given.

• Approach

  Tori describes her approach as pluralistic and client-centred, drawing on a wide range of theories and using both directive and non-directive methods tailored to each individual. Emphasis is placed on the process of creating art rather than the final product, in a nurturing, non-judgmental space where art can express feelings that are hard to put into words. Clients typically attend weekly sessions over six weeks, after which progress is reviewed collaboratively to decide whether further sessions would help.

  The site invites prospective clients to get in touch directly by email (tori.art.therapy@gmail.com) or phone (07731989855) to begin; sessions are held at the Ballynafeigh Community Development Association Centre, 283 Ormeau Road, Belfast, on weekdays and weekends, with alternative dates discussed by email or phone. No formal referral or assessment process is described.
