Are you are feeling lost, overwhelmed, stuck or in need of gentle support, I can offer you a creative, relational and trauma informed approach. You will find a calm, emotionally safe space here. No matter if you are child, young person or adult, I offer EMDR, EMDR Sandtray Therapy & Arts Psychotherapy (Dramatherapy).
My creative therapy tool bag is yours to open. Central is EMDR Sandtray Therapy, a gentle hands on approach where both words and symbols have their place. Together they support you to gain insight. You choose & place small world figures into a sandtray to illustrate and explore your challenges.
This way of working helps you find new ways to shows how you feel, think, experience, relate. It gives you freedom to express and find new meanings. If you want to work creatively, I have studied theatre, mime, movement & fooling in France and England, so I bring a variety of additional creative skills to share with you, at your pace and way, if you want.
You are welcome to contact me to discuss how we could work together, finding new ways to translate your challenges into images, objects or metaphors as well as words. This therapy approach will help you feel contained, in control & emotionally safe. Your interpretations, curiosity, creativity, reflections & symbolic thinking will be central to our work.
