I had Art Therapy a few years ago, and it was the one which helped me the most.
My therapist was very good, she sat away from me and let me draw/paint/sculpt whatever I liked. Then after she would ask me perhaps what it meant, before expanding on what I said.
For example, one time I had painted a group of flowers with smiling faces, and she noticed one that was a lot smaller than the others, and that the group was the same size as my family. Pointing ou the smaller one, she wondered if that was perhaps me, and that i felt small and unimportant, I found it very insightful. Especially as it was what I felt, but was not what I had been thinking about when I did it.
