Renewal of funding for Art Psychotherapy
We were delighted to hear from the Trustees of the Corinne Burton Memorial Trust that they are extending their funding of our Art Psychotherapist post for a further year.
This is welcome news as demand for the service has grown significantly since Shona Elrick joined the LJMC team in January 2010.
Shona's diary is now fully booked as word of the service has spread and patients have become aware of this supportive therapy.
As well as seeing patients on a one-to-one basis, Shona also runs a weekly open group that patients can come to as often as they wish and this has become extremely popular.

"I was quite nervous that first session - however I found using the chalks really relaxing and was quite surprised to find that I had filled the whole paper. It gave me confidence."
