Disability rights

My counsellor won’t allow our sessions to be over email and is insisting on video calls or phone calls. I have auditory processing disorder. She is offering shorter sessions so it would be easier for me but that means I don’t get as much time as anyone else. I thought I had the right to reasonable adjustments under a disability law.

I don’t think art therapy would work in this format. The whole point of art therapy is that your therapist can talk to and observe you during the process of you expressing yourself via art making. Just showing them a picture of a finished product defeats the object.

You don’t seem to understand what art therapy is. It’s not for producing a finished piece of art in isolation. It’s so the therapist can interact with you, observe you, talk to you, get to understand your thought processes and psychological processes. Otherwise, you just need an art teacher. Plenty of art classes around that run remotely.
