Currently all of our team provides a free initial consultation session prior to starting therapy.

This might look very different for each therapist as in CATS we strive to encourage individual forms of practice. This is a wonderful opportunity to see if your therapist is the right fit for your needs.

Not yet! We will have group therapy sessions that run for an allocated time. If you would like more information on what this will looks like, please visit our services page or get in touch with us through the information facilitated in the contact page.

In our sessions, we blend creative activities with open conversation, depending on what feels right for you. While creative expression is a central part of our therapy, we completely understand if you’d prefer to focus more on talking when that’s what you need. Your sessions are all about you—use them in whatever way feels most comfortable and supportive.

Don’t worry if you’re new to art, music, or performance—no prior experience is needed to benefit from our creative therapies. What’s most important is finding a way to explore your feelings that feels right for you. If you’re feeling a bit nervous about creating or performing, we’re here to support you every step of the way and work through those feelings together. Let’s embark on this creative journey with an open heart and a sense of curiosity.

In our sessions, we’re here to support your journey rather than guide you step-by-step.

We might offer materials or suggest activities to help you explore certain emotions or experiences, but the choice of what to express is entirely up to you.

Every therapist has their unique approach, so finding the right fit for you is key to a fulfilling experience.

Your creative work is completely yours—whether you want to keep it, share it, or let it go, it’s entirely up to you. This is a great topic to explore further with your therapist at the start of your sessions as each therapist moves through their practice in different ways.

We provide a variety of materials for art, music, and drama therapy in the therapy room.

Your privacy is very important to us. Everything you share during sessions, including any creative work, is kept confidential. There are some legal limits to confidentiality, which you will discuss in detail with your therapist. For more information, please review our privacy policy.
