When putting your thoughts or feelings into words is difficult, art therapy offers an alternative, non-verbal means to communicate and explore your experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Gaining a deeper understanding of the events that have shaped your life and relationships can help restore a sense of control over your mind, body and behaviour. You don't have to be 'good' at art, or have any experience in art-making. I will provide materials and some prompts to guide you, but together we will find the support you need and methods that work for you.
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses a combination of talk therapy and creativity to explore feelings, emotions and relationships. It is a powerful tool for self-expression, self-regulation, self-understanding and improving emotional well-being.
Reconnect with your strengths, express what may be difficult to put into words, and make meaningful changes that support your wellbeing. Contact me to book a 15 minute exploratory phone call to find out more.

I use a range of treatments, including therapeutic use of the arts, movement and music, as well as talking therapy. We will agree at the start of therapy what you would like to focus on, but individual sessions will be led by you. At times I may offer suggestions or directions to facilitate insight or new thinking around an issue. All my work is trauma informed and paced to prioritise your safety.
