Does your child or young person struggle to say how they are feeling? Do their feelings come out in other ways, such as through anxiety or anger? If you are currently navigating parenting a child or young person with mental health difficulties and are wondering what you can do to help, get in touch. Art Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to explore difficult thoughts and feelings in a relaxed and creative way, using a range of art materials. Through creative exploration and understanding, new perspectives can be found, new skills can be learnt and solutions formed.
I offer evidence based mental health interventions for children, adolescents and individuals. Art psychotherapy offers a refreshingly different way of working and can alleviate the pressure of traditional talking therapies so that exploring feelings can begin naturally, in a way that feels comfortable. Sessions are either in person or online.
I have worked with children and young people for over 20 years as an Art Psychotherapist and am great at making the sessions feel relaxed and fun. I provide individually targeted support for a range of mental health difficulties. Get in touch to find out how I can help.
