Asha Munn: On the healing power of creativity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Asha Munn is an art psychotherapist, EMDR therapist and founder of Breathing Space Charitable Trust.
At university, Asha got unwell and didn't think she'd return for her final year. Art healed her - she made work every day, figured out her future, and decided to become a therapist.
Asha's approach: no assumptions, no judgment, no analysis. Art therapy isn't about analysing work - it's about turning up, sitting alongside, and creating safe spaces where people can be seen without words.
Creativity is ordinary and human. It's accessible to us all.
