About – Art Therapy

The Home of Art Therapy（Community）Academy

The Art Therapy (Community) Academy is located in Setia Triangle, where you can see planes taking off and landing at Penang International Airport from our windows. This view symbolizes our approach to art therapy, where we take clients on a journey towards their desired destination and guide them to a safe landing. However, just like on a plane journey, clients must trust their “pilot” and treat their therapist with respect. Clients must also have a clear destination in mind and cannot change their minds mid-flight.

As a therapist, we aim to meet our clients’ needs and help them land safely at their desired destination. However, sometimes clients may face emotional discomfort or challenges, which may cause them to change their direction.

Looking towards the horizon, you can see the vast ocean from a distance. Our location offers a healing and safe space for clients to slow down and explore their inner selves, uncovering the stories they may have suppressed. We invite you to sit comfortably and have an art conversation with yourself, creating a pace for personal growth and reflection.
