Hi, my name is Claire, an Art Psychotherapist and Counsellor, I have worked in suicide prevention and self-harm as well as in primary and post-primary schools alongside my private practice. I am currently completing an interdisciplinary PhD study exploring intergenerational conflict-related trauma in Northern Ireland. I am keenly interested in community art therapy, participation and its part in building local resilience.
I am a counsellor (talking therapies) and an art psychotherapist who works with children and adults.
As an autistic individual, I have always been drawn to the arts to aid communication, self-regulation and healing. You may find art therapy beneficial if you process things differently, struggle to find the right words or find verbalising difficult events too painful.

Our first session will be an information gathering, name address, contact details etc. We will also explore how you might like to work, what has been helpful/unhelpful previously and what approach best suits you. It's important to know that sometimes things can feel worse before they feel better in therapy and different approaches will work for different people at different times/life experiences.
