Question 1

Who is this group for?

Accepted Answer

Children aged 10 - 12 who are looking for community, connection, and a safe space for self-reflection. It’s for anyone who wants to explore their inner world in a safe way and experience the power of doing this with other like-minded peers.

Question 2

Is this therapy?

Accepted Answer

It’s not the same as 1-to-1 therapy, but the group is therapeutic in nature. It’s best suited to young people who are feeling generally stable, even if they’re struggling with anxiety—if more intensive support is needed, we’re happy to help guide you toward the right kind of care.

Question 3

Will I be forced to open up if I don't want to?

Accepted Answer

You can expect a welcoming and supportive space where you're free to share as much or as little as you want. It’s about being listened to, listening to others, and experiencing the unique power of being part of a group where it's safe to show up exactly as you are.

Question 4

What will we do in the group?

Accepted Answer

We’ll guide you through art therapy exercises, reflection, and calming practices like meditation. It’s a space to explore thoughts and feelings through creativity and group conversation.

Question 5

What about the differences in age?

Accepted Answer

We chose 10–12 because it’s a key stage of social and emotional development, and transition. It’s a space where shared experiences and creative expression can really support connection - even across different ages within that range.

Question 6

I'm neurodivergent, can I come?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this group is a welcome space for everyone. Anxiety can be a common experience for many individuals with forms of neurodivergence such as autism or ADHD. Finding a way to connect with others can also feel hard sometimes. This is a place for you to be yourself.

Question 7

I'm a parent, can I stay with my child?

Accepted Answer

This group is for children to attend independently. We do have a waiting room which parents can wait in if you or your child would like you to stay close by. Due to the duration of the session we recommend dropping your child off and coming back to collect them.

Question 8

Can siblings attend?

Accepted Answer

We understand the importance of sibling relationships; however, this experience is designed to support each child in building wider social connections and developing independently. Attending individually encourages confidence, new friendships, and a sense of self.

Question 9

Do I need to be confident at art?

Accepted Answer

This is a pressure-free space to explore and express your creativity. No skill level is required, we simply hope you enjoy the process of making it.
