Abstract

This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of integrating art therapy into school environments and highlights the benefits of embedding therapeutic practices within educational systems. Drawing on data from an external audit of the service I worked for, The Bright Programme, I reflect on establishing an art therapy practice within an existing counselling service, addressing both challenges and advantages.
