As an art psychotherapist, sessions are not reliant on verbal communication. It's often difficult to put into words how we are feeling and thinking. Through the creative and nurturing medium of art, I help you to engage with your senses and offer the opportunity to use materials to reconnect mind and body. Art materials help with discharging difficult feelings and exploring deep emotions. I aim to empower my clients to make positive steps in between sessions by providing creative strategies that can be use day to day. Although my training is in the creative arts, I also offer traditional talking therapy. ​
I work with adults as well as children from the age of ten upwards. Being able to sit alongside someone and enabling them to be seen and heard is a real privilege. I am fully insured and have undergone an enhanced DBS check to ensure you or your family member receive safe psychotherapeutic care.
I see my clients as experts in their personal journeys and my role is to facilitate inner growth without prejudice. It is common for it to take a number of sessions for trust to be built between client and therapist. Once a therapeutic relationship is established, clients will feel comfortable addressing their thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
