Counselling in 2500

Many of my clients are exhausted from a life in which everyone else's needs have always been made more important than their own. From the earliest age, they weren't supported to have boundaries, and now find themselves struggling with self-esteem, low mood, anxiety, problems with keeping supportive friendships and partnerships alive, struggling to assert themselves at work or cope with professional demands, and feeling stuck in relationship dynamics in which they can't be their true self. They want to put their painful past behind them, and to have their needs recognised and allowed space going forward.

I know therapy can be a daunting experience where you’re put in a very vulnerable position with a stranger. I try to create a space where my clients can take their time to open up, so they feel emotionally safe and ultimately seen.

I am passionate about working along side people, through art making and conversation, to work through trauma, understand themselves better or generally build a stronger sense of wellbeing in their lives.

Though art based therapeutic work I have witnessed the beautiful flourishing of individuals, families and communities.

Expressing emotions through words alone can often be challenging. Art therapy provides a safe, creative space for you to visualise your inner world instead of simply verbalising it. As an art psychotherapist, I help you explore and express your feelings using creative materials in a secure and supportive environment. Together, we work to understand and accept emotions that may feel overwhelming while discovering ways to manage them and take control of our lives.

One of the barriers to self-care is allowing yourself to go into the depths of your experiences. Often, we are challenged to explore and understand this profound chasm, to touch what is held there, to hear its messages, and to connect with compassion to the raw emotions that have been lying dormant for years or just surfaced. By peering into the abyss, we can gain deeper understanding of ourselves and insight into the meaning of our lives; transforming and opening up possibilities the future could hold for us.
