Hey! I’m Laura, a HCPC registered art therapist based in Sheffield. Are you or a loved one struggling with feelings of overwhelm, feeling stressed out and unable to cope? Maybe you’re finding it hard to sleep at night or noticing that your patience is shorter than you’d like, you’re finding it hard to enjoy the things you would normally or something just doesn’t feel right?
Considering starting therapy can be a daunting experience. Finding someone who you can who can support you to gain insights and help you work through the things that you are struggling with is key to regaining the real you. I’m here to help you express yourself, develop coping strategies and reignite that spark within to feel yourself again.
You don't have to be good at art to do art therapy. Whatever reason brings you to art therapy, I can ensure that it is a private and confidential process undertaken with kindness and compassion in a calm and secure space. If you’re interested in exploring how we can work together please do get in touch and have a look at my website for further information.

I attended a bilateral drawing workshop with Laura, who was encouraging and friendly, allowing a gentle experiencing of unfamiliar art making techniques. Has a warm manner and feels like a safe pair of hands, Laura made it feel easy to trust the process.
