A Year at Doncaster Mind

Hi my name is Angela and I am a trainee art psychotherapist. I have been on placement with Doncaster Mind for a year during which time I have met many amazing individuals.

I have enjoyed learning about the team and how it supports local people on their journeys to better mental health and wellbeing.

The team are always supportive providing space to grow and learn. 

It is not an easy thing to do to take part in art therapy, I have been humbled by the hard work  my clients have put in to their art therapy journeys.  The positive feedback has shown me that it can and does help.

I am grateful to everyone who has shared their stories with me and by doing so contributed to my learning whilst finding new ways to take care of themselves too.

Going forward I would love to see art therapy as an integral part to the services Doncaster Mind can deliver as I believe that we are all creative and harnessing it can and does bring many benefits to our health and wellbeing.

Angela
