It’s scary admitting to yourself that you need help; and that you’re struggling with whatever is causing you to feel unhappy, dysregulated or distressed. Due to stigma, people feel that they can only access therapy when they are at breaking point; when in fact you can access therapy whenever you need to. My background is in working with abuse survivors, and those who have experienced trauma. As a result I work with narcissism, depression, low self esteem, shame, loneliness, hopelessness, grief & loss, anger, self harm and suicidal feelings as well as a broad range of other factors and experiences clients bring to their sessions.

As a creative art therapist, I use artmaking to help my clients explore their feelings and experiences through artmaking.
Art making can help you discover parts of your inner self and express them through metaphor, which helps us explore our emotions in a safe space. Creative process engages different parts of your brain than talking alone, and studies show art therapy facilitates neuroplasticity, the development of new ways of thinking, and building new coping strategies.

You might purely want to talk, you might bring photos or images, art or dreams, journals or poems, whatever helps you show what you are feeling inside.
Do you ever feel weird or like you just don't fit in? I know what it is like to feel different or like you don't really fit. Maybe you've always felt this way or life has shifted recently and you're not quite sure how to move forward. The world often has clear expectations of how it expects us to be or interact and that can leave many of us feeling different or out of place. It can be easy to beat ourselves up or feel we 'should' be able to cope with the things other people seem able to. This can often leave us feeling less than or like we are just not good enough.

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.
