Creative Therapy Counselling in Guildford
I use a variety of media in my playroom to explore emotions - sand tray, art, puppets, games, role play, small world creations etc
Welcome.
My mission is empowering children aged 5–15 to navigate life's curveballs through a safe, child-centred, and integrative therapeutic approach. I have an inviting playroom that encourages young people to explore in their own way, while I join them and help to guide them. I encourage self-awareness, grow emotional literacy and value the child's experience. Through expression, I believe children and young people can leave negative blocks behind and grow into the best version of themselves.
Recently I've been working with neurodiversity challenges, bullying, anxiety, low mood, parental separation, anger and more..

Life will always present us with challenges and difficult situations. Sometimes these challenges can get on top of us and we stop living and enjoying our lives as fully as we would like. This is where counselling can be of help. Counselling is about offering a supportive relationship in a safe and confidential environment to talk through whatever is concerning them. Counselling is not about giving advice and counsellors can never be experts in other people’s lives. Counselling is about helping people find their unique strengths to work through a particular issue in the best way for them so that they can live a happy life.

I currently have availability Mondays - Thursdays without a waiting list.
I provide a safe space for Talking Therapy and EMDR Therapy sessions. EMDR Therapy can be helpful for PTSD and Trauma, whether a one off incident or chronic trauma such as childhood abuse or neglect, grief, self-esteem, chronic pain, anxiety, sexual assault, childhood neglect, domestic abuse and more. Mapping out traumas and your history we find the best way to work. With the use of bilateral stimulation, you can process these traumas, realising this is part of your trauma history but it will no longer disturb you. This in turn allows you to move forward.

Whatever you are feeling now, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Life can be tricky sometimes and you may think that people can't understand you because of what you are going through. Sometimes you need someone to listen to you, to help you to understand what is actually happening. I can help you to walk through this journey, to find a way to a safe place which respects your values and beliefs. You can talk about any issues that bother you and explore your emotions without judgment. I have 19 years of training and experience in a broad range of topics in psychotherapy counselling and educational therapy.

Welcome to my profile! Whether you’re feeling anxious or carrying things you’d like to work through, reaching out for support is always a step worth taking. So often, we convince ourselves we’re okay despite a major life change, a loss, or the pressures of a demanding lifestyle. We keep pushing forward until the cracks begin to show — sleepless nights, constant stress, strained relationships, or a noticeable dip in mood.
If you’re ready for things to be different, I’ll guide you in transforming stuckness into momentum, self-doubt into self-trust, and anxiety into calm, helping you thrive with renewed confidence and purpose.

Has a recent or past negative experience left you feeling lost or stuck? Maybe you’ve tried to just get on with life but inside you still feel broken, replaying events in your mind and asking yourself why or how this happened. Perhaps you know what happened to you was traumatic or maybe you’ve told yourself it “wasn’t that bad”. Some days you seem to feel all the emotions all at once, and other days you feel nothing at all. Other people simply don’t understand, which may leave you feeling alone and like you don’t matter. You are not alone and you do matter. You deserve freedom and peace from your past experiences.

Creative Therapy Counsellors
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.
