Creative Therapy Counselling in N15
I use Drama & Theatre Techniques including Art, Play, Movement, Story, Music etc.
I am passionate about peoples stories, there is a richness in Human Connection and the internal world. Therapy is not something that is very sought out in my culture and i found that there is often a disconnect with people from certain backgrounds (E.g Race, Class, Gender, Age etc.) and Mental Health Professionals.

Art Psychotherapy uses a mixture of talking and art-making in the sessions.
People st art therapy for many different reasons. You may feel dissatisfied, worried or sad, want to explore the past, process difficult events, or achieve goals. By also using art-making, it is possible to explore emotional issues in a different, sometimes deeper way, one that words alone may not allow. You do not need to be an artist to benefit from this, just drawn to the idea of expressing yourself creatively. I have experience of helping with a range of issues, from common life problems, through depression, anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, and experiences of unstable mood.

You may be facing an immediate crisis, or dealing with long-standing challenges. You may be facing bereavement, struggling to overcome anxiety or tackling addiction. I believe that the therapeutic relationship provides a safe place in which you can look deeply at these issues and unpick the impact that they have across your life. In an environment of kindness and compassion, I will support you in reflecting on your life and exploring the situation in which you find yourself today.

I offer a confidential non- judgemental space where you can talk about what is concerning you. You may come because you have issues related to anxiety, stress, sadness, low self esteem or anger. You may have deep feelings of disappointment with yourself, and others, or feelings of pointlessness, conflict within relationships. You may be struggling with a personal crisis or life event and would like to talk through with someone who is outside your friendship or family group. I listen to what is concerning you and help you reflect and explore these issues from various angles so that you find a clearer way forward.

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.
