Pentraeth LL75
I have experience of working with a variety of different client groups, including children, young people and adults. Through art therapy, I have supported clients with additional learning needs, autistic Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, complex communication needs, attachment disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, anger management, bereavement, self-harm, eating disorders, substance misuse including alcoholism, transgender issues and more........ You do not have to be good at art to come to art therapy, there is no right or wrong way to create or to use the art materials.
I have a special interest in supporting neurodiversity and understand the pressures faced by a lack of understanding and support in our society. I also have a special interest in supporting the recovery of substance misuse and eating disorders and advocating the importance of holistic care for vulnerable and marginalized client groups.
Art therapy provides a new way to communicate emotions and feelings that can often feel challenging. Where this can include verbal communication if and when it feels right for the client. We will work at your own pace. Art therapy can help you explore a deeper awareness of yourself and support you in moving forward with issues both past and present.

I work with both neurodivergent and neurotypical clients, who may have gone through traumatic experiences and have often felt misunderstood. I offer a safe space, inviting clients to express themselves through art medium and or verbal communication to help begin an empowering journey to process experiences and move forward with a clearer understanding.
