Art therapy is a powerful and reflective process that encourages creativity and exploration of our inner worlds. The freedom of art-making bypasses the limitations of verbal language, allowing for a healing and instinctual experience. Through art, communication is enriched, and emotions find a new avenue of expression. Art therapy invites you to experiment without the need for prior artistic expertise. We can move between art therapy and talking therapy, depending on what feels right in the moment. There is no pressure to use art materials.
I provide a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where I will be alongside you on this journey. My approach is primarily psychodynamic, yet flexible to meet your unique needs. The therapeutic relationship we build is central to our work together. Through our sessions we will gain insight and understanding of your emotions and core beliefs.
With 15 years of experience as an Art Psychotherapist, I have supported individuals facing various challenges, including autism, ADHD, self-harming behaviour, anxiety, low self-esteem, attachment difficulties, PTSD, and CPTSD. My experience spans working with adults and young people in schools, children's services, community settings and charities.
