I work as an art therapist/counsellor with adults and children that have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, health related issues and have worked in community contexts to support parents and their children. Sometimes it can be hard to express our experiences verbally and working through creative means can help us gain an understanding of ourselves and enable us to find emotional relief for issues that might otherwise seem overwhelming. It provides a way of expressing our inner world without the need for words. Art therapy is suitable for all ages and requires no prior artistic skills.
I offer a thoughtful, client-centred approach to supporting clients to explore their understanding of the world, experiences and goals. I draw on a range of psychotherapeutic methods depending on the needs of the individual.
Taking the time to care for your mental health is an important part of building a sense of wellbeing, connectedness, sense of self and relationships. I provide a non-judgmental, gentle, open and curious approach to therapy and hope to work with people to gain a sense of wholeness in their lives and to meet their goals.
