Art therapy is a powerful and reflective process that encourages creativity and exploration of our inner worlds. The freedom of art-making bypasses the limitations of verbal language, allowing for a healing and instinctual experience. Through art, communication is enriched, and emotions find a new avenue of expression. Art therapy invites you to experiment without the need for prior artistic expertise. We can move between art therapy and talking therapy, depending on what feels right in the moment. There is no pressure to use art materials.

Do you feel drained and exhausted but don’t really know why? Do you observe other people around you seemingly effortlessly manage tasks that you seem unable to accomplish?

I believe therapy is for everyone, a place where we can work side by side to explore your experiences, patterns, and the ways you relate to others and to yourself. We are shaped by relationships and the cultural worlds we move through—both past and present. In therapy, we gently explore these influences at a pace that feels right for you. I will offer you a space rooted in curiosity, compassion, and respect, where you won’t be judged, fixed, or analysed. Through experiencing a relationship based on acceptance, empathy, and care, new possibilities can emerge.

Undertaking psychotherapy can be daunting, especially nowadays, when so many different types of therapy are available. It can be overwhelming to make that decision. In my approach, I believe that each situation is unique. Through my experience of working with teenagers and their families, as well as adults in individual and group modalities and couples, I learned to develop a sensitive ear for my client’s needs. We all sometimes struggle due to external or internal pressures or a combination. However, I deeply believe that facing difficulties with compassion and an open mind can be liberating.

Speaking with someone for the first time about personal issues or trauma can feel really daunting. It is important to feel safe and not judged when talking about difficult things, and my aim is for us to develop a relationship where you can explore whatever it is that you need to. There is not an exhaustive list of the reasons for coming to counselling initially but one thing is sure and that is it begins with building trust and beginning to speak openly. Our sessions will be collaborative: I will facilitate, but you will lead the way. Even if you can't pin point why things feel difficult, you're not alone.

Together we will unpick patterns that no longer serve you, helping you build a more positive future.

I am a HCPC-registered Art Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience working with children and young people across educational and charitable settings. I offer a safe, supportive space where children can explore their emotions, experiences, and inner world through the creative process.
Children often find it difficult to articulate how they feel using words alone. Art therapy provides an alternative, non-verbal means of expression, allowing thoughts and feelings to emerge naturally through image-making and creative play. These expressions can then be safely explored and understood within a contained therapeutic relationship.

Education and Learning Disabilities Counsellors
How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
