We
offer FREE access to a qualified Art
Therapist. The BBC Children In Need
awarded us a grant to fund this new
position for 3 years. Our Therapist,
Shellee Chisholm, works from a studio at
Twelve's Company in Devonport, but
is also available for outreach work in
Plymouth and the surrounding areas, and
can carry out sessions during school
time, on school premises.
Shellee works with children of all ages
and cultural backgrounds covering a
range of problems such as learning
difficulties, physical disabilities,
cultural differences, bereavement,
trauma, neglect and abuse. Art Therapy
will enable children to experience
personal growth through the use of art
materials including paint, clay, puppets
and sand tray work.
There is Specialist therapy for Children
who have disclosed recent abuse. We
also provide Crisis intervention and
emotional assessments for young people
under 18 if you know someone in need.

sessions, however we will endeavour to
see everyone and will make every effort
to immediately accommodate urgent cases.
