I work with children and young people who are struggling with emotional regulation, anxiety, social interaction, or have difficulties maintaining focus. I also work with adults who are experiencing low mood, anxiety, stress and burnout, or going through situational crisis. Art therapy enables individuals to unpack and express their feelings through creativity and interaction with art materials. Benefits of art therapy include improving mood, reducing stress, enabling self-expression, facilitating identity exploration, increasing self-esteem and developing self-awareness and insights.
