When you feel stuck, weighed down or troubled by life experiences, expressive arts therapy can help you make sense of things and find meaning. Together we will explore different perspectives to your situation and activate your healing or growth journey. We can address issues such as anxiety and depression, perfectionism, relational patterns, grief and loss, change and transition, school can't (school refusal), cross cultural experiences, parenting struggles, perinatal loss, chronic illness, inner conflicts. I work with adults and children.
I am a caring Creative Arts Therapist, with a passion to enable personal transformation, and a deepening of faith, hope and resilience. I come alongside you to support your exploration of themes and experiences of life, using a variety of easy, creative art forms to accompany our conversation, along with principles of CBT, IFS, cognitivemindfulness methods.
I will offer you a gentle, non-judgemental space to express your struggles and move towards growth. My approach is collaborative, honours your story and your own unique strengths, and will build your capacity to reflect, gain new perspectives and find meaningful choices. Why not see if I am a good fit for you by asking for a free 15min initial phone consult?
