Clay Field Therapy is a specialist form of art therapy that uses clay to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences through touch and movement.

Rather than creating a finished piece of artwork, you work directly with the clay, exploring its texture, weight, resistance and movement. This can offer a different way of expressing and understanding experiences that may be difficult to put into words.

Our hands are highly sensitive to touch, pressure and movement. In Clay Field Therapy, this haptic experience can help us notice what is happening in the body, emotions and relationships, at a pace that feels manageable.

It can be particularly useful for children, young people and adults who find talking difficult, or who are experiencing trauma, emotional overwhelm, attachment difficulties or neurodivergence.
