Alicia Andres is a registered IACAT Art Therapist and teacher based in north Dublin.
She completed a BA in Primary Education in 2017 in Spain. After working two years as an art educator in a contemporary art gallery, she became fascinated by human psychology and decided to continue her studies at Grefart. Grefart is a training institute that offers an MA in Art Therapy and is an associated member of the European Federation of Art Therapy (EFAT), which aims to unite professional art therapy associations across Europe. She obtained her Master’s in Integrative Art Therapy from Grefart in 2021. Alicia completed her art therapy placements in a primary school, nursery schools, with the Red Cross supporting carers, and in a therapeutic community centre for people with addiction issues.
Now based in Dublin, she runs group workshops and individual art therapy sessions.

What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy offers a range of benefits, including enhancing cognitive function, reducing stress, and promoting emotional well-being through self-expression. It provides a safe and nonverbal space for individuals to express emotions and explore through creative expression. Art therapy can be particularly beneficial for those who find it difficult to verbalize their feelings or have experienced challenging or overwhelming situations.
