Many people who come to me learned to cope by pleasing, pushing, or performing, and now feel disconnected from their instincts, bodies, or relationships. This usually shows up as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, ongoing stress, body symptoms, or repeating patterns in relationships or work.
In working together we'll explore whatever feels most relevant for you whether that’s something happening now, a pattern you’re noticing, or a sense that’s hard to put into words. As awareness grows, change starts to organically happen.

Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that allows for meaningful interaction beyond words.
Come as you are, I will relate to you without judgment or expectation. You don't need to be skilled at art. I endeavour to become attuned to your experience and to support you to use art to explore and work through the issues that brought you to therapy.

I believe therapy is transformative. I provide a holding and supportive space where all feelings, thoughts and experiences are welcome. I am an integrative counsellor: I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches depending on your needs. Exploring integration can also mean where our socio-political-cultural context shapes or meets our inner narratives. I adopt an intersectional perspective that invites GSRD and cross-cultural experiences. I maintain a creative, somatic practice and this can feature in therapy when the talking cure feels limited: where the non-verbal feels prevalent or when a ‘rehearsal for life’ feels useful.

Welcome. I'm an Integrative therapist drawing from a range of therapeutic ideas and approaches in order to offer an individual service to each of my clients accorrding to their needs. I work in a relational way, meaning that I see therapy as a joint venture, an alliance in which I try to facilitate clients in understanding themselves, their needs and their difficulties - whatever may be getting in the way of achieving their goals and enjoying their lives. I also help clients to navigate the emotionally painful and challenging experiences that life brings to us all, to process past traumas and to explore relationship issues.

You may be feeling stuck in repeating emotional or relational patterns, overwhelmed by stress, or disconnected from yourself. You might be neurodivergent, highly sensitive, or feel that traditional talk therapy hasn’t quite reached what you’re experiencing. Often, people come to therapy with a sense that something deeper needs attention, even if it’s hard to put into words.

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.
