Waitlist for new clients
Hi, my name is Claire, an Art Psychotherapist and Counsellor, I have worked in suicide prevention and self-harm as well as 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 am keenly interested in community art therapy, participation and its part in building local resilience.
As an autistic adult, I have always been drawn to the arts to aid communication, and healing and integrate them 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 on long or short-term goals as well as running creative workshops and delivering neurodiversity training.
