Creative Therapy Counselling in Burnley
There is so much focus these days on "What's wrong with you" using terms such as 'depression', 'anxiety', 'disorder', rather than talking about "What happened to you?" Your mental health is much more than just a label or a diagnosis and therapy offers so much more than just talking. It can give you new understanding, new insights, a different perspective, clarity about a problem and the way forward. It can teach you skills to live your life better, teach you more healthy coping strategies or simply give you the space and time for self reflection and a place to find peace of mind.

Taking that first step to trust in a relationship with a counsellor can be really difficult, as coming to counselling can lead us to feeling vulnerable, as we expose our true selves’ warts and all, for our counsellor to see. It can be empowering to get our stories off our chest and to hear them back, being told to us as the counsellor reflects it back. If you are struggling and feel that things are too much to deal with on your own, I can offer you a safe space to process your thoughts and feelings, to enable you to find healthier ways of managing what life brings your way.

Sometimes people come to therapy because something feels clearly 'wrong'. Other times it is quieter than that. A sense of feeling flat, stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite themselves anymore. You might feel stressed or burnt out, dissatisfied with aspects of life, work, or relationships, or weighed down by past experiences that still linger. Often there is a feeling that life could be better than this, even if it is not yet clear how to get there. You may be looking for a place to pause, talk things through, and find your own way forward.

I am an experienced accredited therapist, supervisor and clinical lead (NHS); qualified to work therapeutically with children, adults and couples.

I work in a neuroaffirming and trauma focussed way and strive to include the differences that arrive in the therapy room. I want my clients to come as they are.

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.
