“I wish things could go back to normal!”, “I want to feel like me again!” Does this sound familiar?
Many of my clients have said this in one way or another. Do you live with a sense that no one understands what you’re feeling?Sometimes it comes with a sense of shame or judgement that you can’t “just get back to normal.” Many of my clients have struggled with the effects of cancer diagnosis, others grief or loss and some have become full time carers. I offer a space for you to explore your feelings (all of them) and the support to help you make decisions about how you want to live in this new “normal”.

Experiencing major changes can be daunting, frustrating and generate fear alongside self-doubt. If you are looking to make changes, face up to change, explore identity and self-esteem or have reached your limits in one or more life areas then you don't have to face this alone. You will have control over your therapy and gain a voice as well as perspective. If you are willing to make the most of what you learn in therapy then you are more likely to make progress that lasts and changes your life for the better. I offer Clinical Supervision and outdoor therapy too. I have worked for GPs, IAPT, hospitals and EAPs.

I'm Jay, a practitioner who celebrates authenticity, creativity and individuality. Starting therapy can be overwhelming, especially when life asks so much of us. My goal is to create the very space that you are seeking, where you are genuinely seen, understood and held. As a late diagnosed AuDHD individual, I am well aware of the struggles we face on a daily. Masking, people pleasing, anxiety, anger and frustration towards the world, overwhelm from the demands of life, feeling othered and shamed from the messages we too often receive.

Hi, I'm Maria. Are you curious about why you feel or act the way you do?

I can support you to reflect on your past, notice patterns in your relationships, and take time to understand yourself more fully. You don’t need to know anything about therapy—just be open, patient, and interested in creating meaningful, lasting change from the inside out.

More than anything, you want to feel safe, understood, and empowered to build a more fulfilling life.

Life can you hit you hard! I know this from experience. The good news is, that there is always a way back, no matter how hopeless the situation might feel at the time. The fact that you are here right now shows that you have the inner strength and desire to move forward. That in itself is huge, and the first step towards discovering (or re-discovering) the person that you truly are. Maybe you are feeling stressed? or suffer from anxiety? Are you struggling with a past traumatic experience? or the loss of a loved one? You could be stuck in a rut and not know why? Whatever it may be, remember that it does not have to be permanent.

I am also a qualified coach and work with women that have experienced abuse. Alongside my therapy practice, i am also a supervisor and have 22 years of experience supporting therapists.

A warm welcome,
My name is Lucy, I am a highly qualified consultant psychotherapist (BA, MsC, RMBACP). I can work with all presentations, diagnoses and tailor therapy to you. I also specialise in trauma. Trauma can be any lasting impact or distress after any event/experience or series of events/experiences; it is personal and relative to you. Often, the question we ask ourselves is 'What's wrong with me?' rather than 'What happened to me?' or 'What is happening in my internal world?'. It can help to approach ourselves curiously and compassionately to break patterns of thought and build a healthy life for ourselves in the present.

I believe that human beings are naturally wired to grow and flourish but at times life presents challenges that feel overwhelming or difficult to navigate alone. I provide a space to pause and begin to make sense of your experiences; creating the conditions from which change, and healing can occur.
I believe that we are all doing our best, often carrying stories that the world may never hear and that sometimes what we need most is simply a space to breathe, to feel heard without judgement. I offer a collaborative, trauma- informed approach that is rooted in humanistic values and shaped by the power of narrative.

Therapy with warmth, humour, and a brew.
A warm drink can be comforting, but it doesn’t magically fix the overwhelm, the masking, the relationship patterns, or the weight of old wounds. What it CAN do is help us slow down, breathe, and begin to explore things together at your pace.
I work in a deeply person‑centred, trauma-informed and collaborative way, often with a cup of tea in hand; creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are.
I have completed ADHD‑Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD‑CCSP) Training, and I’m currently undertaking Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS) training.

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.
