Abstract This paper explores how the process of finding, relating to and using found objects in art therapy can bridge the psychological barriers to engagement with the outer world of the client. This is shown through an individual case study within adult mental health which identifies how using found objects facilitated the therapeutic process and enabled thoughts, feelings and memories to be connected to, recognised and processed in a way that I suggest would not have been reached through providing traditional art therapy materials. The found objects helped improve emotional and mental wellbeing, enhanced self expression and self esteem. In addition the found objects offered a cognitive process in thinking outside of self and helped with issues such as isolation, motivation, physical exercise and social inclusion.
