Low self-esteem, life changes, or pressure to “have it all together” can leave you questioning yourself. You want a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings, be heard without judgment, and take manageable steps forward, feeling understood, encouraged, and more in control of your life.

I provide person‑centred art psychotherapy for clients living with disabilities, chronic pain, long‑term health conditions, and mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and low self‑esteem.
Art psychotherapy can be valuable even if you feel unsure about creativity or don’t see yourself as “artistic.” The focus is not on producing artwork but on using materials to explore experiences, process difficult thoughts, and gain clarity from a different perspective. Creative expression can offer a safe, accessible way to communicate feelings that may be hard to put into words.

If you are looking for a safe, non-judgemental, welcoming space to explore what life has thrown at you then you have come to the right place.

I came to private practice after many years working in post-16 education. In both careers I am privileged to help and be alongside people who are negotiating their next steps.

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.
