About
Hi, my name is Claire, I am an Art Psychotherapist and Counsellor, this may be your first time seeking help or part of your ongoing personal development, well done for making it this far, it's a massive first step to recovery. I have worked in suicide prevention and self-harm for three years, followed by working in primary and post-primary schools alongside my private practice. I am currently completing an interdisciplinary PhD study exploring culture and identity using Northern Ireland's murals as the lens. I have a keen interest in community art therapy, participation and it's part in building local resilience.
As an autistic adult, I have always been drawn to the arts to aid communication and healing as well as integrating it into my practice. You may find this beneficial if you struggle to find the right words or find talking about personal experiences too painful or difficult.
I work with children and adults in long or short term goals as well as running creative mindfulness courses and delivering first aid in mental health.
