As a psychologist, I have been trained in a range of therapies and work integrating techniques from psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and systemic therapy to co-create a bespoke therapy that meets your unique needs. For some, this might mean exploring how past experiences continue to shape present feelings and behaviours, while for others it could involve breaking cycles of unhelpful thinking, managing difficult emotions, or finding new ways to strengthen relationships. My aim is to create a way of working that is tailored to you and helps you move towards greater self-awareness, resilience, and a sense of ease in everyday life.

As an NCPS qualified, accredited therapist I have many years experience of working with people living with trauma and inner conflict. Issues may vary from abuse, anxiety, disorders depression, grief, gender and sexuality, relationships, low self-esteem and PTSD. In particular, I have worked in depth with those suffering from eating disorders and those in alcohol/drug recovery. My work with young people in education has shown me how early trauma affects behaviours later in life and how patterns often repeat.

I support adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, grief, or developmental trauma. Many feel frozen, hypervigilant, or disconnected from their bodies due to old imprints and attachment wounds. They come seeking a deeper connection to themselves and a way to release held patterns. I help them move forward by gently re-patterning the nervous system. Integrating the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)—a music-based listening therapy—we acoustically stimulate the vagus nerve to restore safety from the bottom up, building emotional resilience and inner stillness.

If you’re exhausted by shallow self-help, fake positivity, and constant pressure to be more productive, you’re not alone. Another podcast. Another morning routine. Another person online claiming they’ve mastered life while quietly falling apart behind the scenes. Meanwhile, you may still feel anxious, disconnected, stuck, lonely, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself underneath it all. I’m not especially interested in pretending life is simple or reducing people to diagnoses, labels, or productivity problems to solve.

I believe in the power of nature to heal and provide a space with views of a beautiful garden as well as the opportunity to work outside either walking in the forest or seated by a pond and waterfall. In the work we can harness the natural environment to help calm a dysregulated nervous system and bring back a sense of safety and control. Feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges happens to us all at times. I provide a safe space to explore what is causing your pain and understand where you are in all of this. This could be the first step in prioritising yourself and your own needs and finding lasting happiness.

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.
