We can talk if that is most comfortable to you, but I also offer Arts Psychotherapy using a number of different art forms to connect with your intuition and inner resources.
Do you feel stuck? Wish for more creativity and to use your full potential instead of feeling held back by your fears? I can support you to tap into your own creative flow and work through fears, negative thought patterns and feelings that might be keeping you stuck. We can learn and harvest the messages your patterns are ready to teach you together. Your difficulties do not have to be your way of life and they do not have to define you. You are worth so much more than your worries and I would love to join you in the journey towards resilience, looking after you and discovering who you really are and what you are capable of!

Since 2018 I have facilitated art therapy groups at Mind; through to working as a practitioner in an acute inpatient ward; counselling patients and families in a hospice setting; and now my current role as a humanistic counsellor in private practice.
My belief as a practitioner is that as humans we are inherently good, but our circumstances and environment can impact how we view ourselves and others. Often, a person seeks therapy because they feel in conflict, moving between thinking about what they ‘should be’ and what they think they ‘are’. Events throughout life can cause us to challenge these scripts and can bring barriers and obstacles that prevent us living as our authentic selves. My role as counsellor is to offer a non-judgemental, empathic space where these thoughts can be explored and reflected upon safely and collaboratively.

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.
