Welcome to The Walnut Barn
[/movedo_title][vc_column_text animation=”grve-fade-in-up” animation_delay=”800″]
Founded by a qualified Art Therapist (Art Psychotherapist) and teacher, The Walnut Barn supports the wellbeing of children, adults and families, providing Art Therapy, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and nature-based farm wellbeing activities. We work with children and adults of all ages with complex life circumstances as well as those looking for time in nature away from the bustle of everyday life.
Our trauma-informed approach offers a safe, supportive space for individuals and groups to explore and express their experiences through creative processes and nature-based activities, all while immersed in the calming beauty of the natural environment.

This form of therapy is a valuable tool in mental health treatment, art therapists are Allied Health Professionals and as such are regulated by the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC).
Art therapy sessions aim to reduce distress and improve social, emotional and mental health by promoting insight and self-compassion. Sessions help individuals articulate difficult emotions, and develop healthier coping mechanisms through the act of making art and engaging with the natural environment.
You don’t have to be ‘good’ at art, the art in art therapy can be anything from collecting natural objects such as leaves and pinecones, sculpting in clay, painting, or simply getting messy and playing with materials. It is up to you what you make and do in each session.
