Welcome to Quest Art Psychotherapy
with Orlagh Milligan

At Quest Art Psychotherapy, we embrace the profound meaning of "quest" as a journey of exploration and discovery. Our mission is to provide a nurturing space where individuals can embark on their unique paths through the transformative power of art.

We prioritise:
Questioning
Understanding
Empowerment
Self-discovery, and
Transformation

Guiding clients as they navigate their emotions and experiences.

Just as a quest involves seeking knowledge and insight, we empower individuals to uncover their inner strengths and facilitate meaningful change on their journey of healing and self-discovery.

Client Feedback

  • “Creating art at the same time as talking acts as a distraction which helps a lot. There is something about being creative that helps me to open up".

    Anonymous

  • “Art Therapy is one hour a week when I can actually express myself and talk about things a bit more. I feel like it is an escape for an hour and it relaxes me”.

    Anonymous
