MA ART PSYCHOTHERAPY, SOUTH WALES

Throughout my life, I’ve always taken solace in the creative arts. Art can play an important role in restoring one’s balance whilst navigating through life and struggles with mental health. The catharsis that creating and being immersed in the arts can give you has always been something I’ve wanted to share. Through my training as an Art Psychotherapist, I aim to facilitate this for those who may find articulation of their emotions difficult, particularly within Muslim communities. With my work, I hope to encourage more Muslims to pursue similar career paths, to diversify the field of practitioners, and continue combating the stigma surrounding mental health.
