Expressive Therapies in Dubai

Expressive therapies are a range of therapeutic approaches that use various forms of creative expression, such as art, music, dance, drama, and writing, to promote healing and well-being. These therapies recognise that creative activities can provide a means of exploring and communicating emotions, thoughts, and experiences that may be difficult to express through traditional talk therapies.

Each expressive therapy modality has its own unique methods and techniques, but they all share a common aim of using creative expression to enhance self-awareness, facilitate emotional expression, improve communication, reduce stress, and promote personal growth and healing. These therapies can be utilised by trained professionals in various settings, including mental health clinics, hospitals, schools, and community centres.
