Prior art experience is not needed for art therapy, as it is an opportunity to experiment and approach mental health in a playful and explorative environment.
Hi, I'm Samuel (He/They/She/Any) and I'm a non-binary/genderfluid Arts Psychotherapist. In life I have used the creative arts as a way of understanding, listening to and responding to my experiences and inner conflicts. I’m passionate about integrating our inner and outer selves and believe in the value the arts offer in encountering resources and parts of ourselves which aren’t accessed in normal daily life. I offer a gentle, non-judgemental and inclusive therapeutic space for you to reveal yourself as we explore struggles, hopes and what growth and resolution looks like for you at this time.

You will usually discover that the creative process itself is truly the most healing part of any art therapy experience
***PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL*** Hi, I'm Rae (they/them) and I'm a trans non-binary and multiple neurodivergent registered supervisor (I avoids using the term ‘clinical’ to describe the supervision work I do, as I prefer to use non-clinical language in my approaches), arts therapist, and psychotherapist with a lived experience of chronic illness. I have white Anglophone privilege and settler privilege. I experience marginalisation due to living in cisgenderist, binary, neurotypical-centred society. I am very passionate about disability rights, the LGBTQIA+ community and mental health. I am vegan and love animals.

I integrate a range of cognitive therapies with mindfulness practices & art therapies while also considering the impact of societal & family systems.
Navigating the world as a neurodivergent individual can be incredibly challenging, especially without adequate support. Autistic and ADHD individuals, LGBTQIA+ folks, and trauma survivors often face unique hurdles and higher rates of trauma and PTSD than the neurotypical population. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and dealing with sensory differences, executive functioning difficulties, and the pressures of masking can make it even tougher.

When working with children, creating a safe therapeutic alliance is of utmost importance and I will often use art and play therapies including sandtray play while implementing evidence base practices.
To offer a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space for clients to freely express and explore their truth is my passion and purpose in life. One of my favourite quotes which guides my practice is by Bessel van der Kolk who states: "Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives." - Bessel Van Der Kolk. Through the many forms of listening, I am able to enter into the world of my client and walk alongside them as they explore, express and empower themselves to navigate the challenges in their life.

As a transpersonal art therapist, I offer to guide on your unique journey inwards to explore your inner landscape and find empowerment.
In a typical session, we begin with guided meditation, tailored to your specific issue, activating the parasympathetic system, and allowing you to connect with your subconscious. This is followed by a 5-10 min creative expression, bridging the conscious and subconscious minds. Finally, ample time is dedicated to unpack and integrate the newly found insights.

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.
Art is not a job, rather an inherent trait in all of us! I believe that it can help us find deep, safe & long lasting healing. My approach seeks wisdom from grounded anti-colonial practices that heal the soul as well as the mind and body. No one method works for all, together we can work out what is best for you as in or out of the box as that might be.

We can use a variety of therapeutic strategies - talking, reflecting, sharing, writing, art therapy, mindfulness, self-care.
Life is full of stressors and challenges. It can be a struggle getting through each hour of each day. As a consequence, we can experience depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, feeling stuck, or feeling not quite right. We may struggle to adapt to a new situation - loss of a loved one, job loss, overwhelmed by work or study, separation, a new diagnosis, a medical event such as cancer or a heart attack. You don' t need to struggle alone. Adjustment and change are possible. Reaching out can be scary. Better now, than later or never. We all need expert support at times. It's ok, to not be ok. An impartial, supportive ear is available.

Art Therapy Counsellors
How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
