Psychotherapist Julie Mattinson explains the importance of having other outlets for healing our mental health, beyond the usual “talking therapy”. She realised the need for creativity as a powerful modality of alternative therapy and discovered that art, music, poetry and sculpture can and do have, the most profound healing effects on the human psyche. 

Julie currently works for IPSUM - a charity that specialise in supporting wellbeing and stability. IPSUM - which is the Latin term for 'Self' reflects the work they do in offering alternative therapies to help people come back to themselves.
