John-Paul Penman is our new Family Support Worker/Art Therapist. He is originally trained in Fine Art. John-Paul went on to take the Post-Graduate Diploma in Art Therapy in 1998.

Art Therapy, the combination of art and psychotherapy, is a very useful tool in helping children and adults to work with the affects of trauma and loss while assisting them to work through barriers to personal change and relationships with important others.

John-Pauls working experience has been varied in different settings and with a range of client groups, children and adults. Including setting up Art Therapy work in schools, hospice care and providing training and consultations to organisations
