Creative Therapy Counselling in Colwyn Bay
I’m glad you’re here. I’d like to offer you a space to talk, and a moment to feel heard.
I sometimes think of counselling as you bringing your own jigsaw puzzle into the room. You may have a sense of what the picture is supposed to look like, but the pieces can feel scattered, unclear, forgotten, or difficult to place.
My role is not to tell you what your picture should be. It is to sit alongside you and help you make sense of the pieces, one by one. You bring the knowledge of your life and what each piece means. I offer a calm, supportive space where we can begin to understand how they fit together.

Are you in your 30s, quietly panicking that you’re running out of time to figure your life out? Everyone else seems to be moving forward — relationships, careers, families — while you’re overthinking every decision and wondering where you went wrong.
Life looks “fine” on the outside but, inside you're exhausted by constant self-doubt, stuck in spirals of overthinking and scared of making the wrong move, so you stay frozen under the pressure to get it right before it’s “too late.”

You may appear to be coping on the outside, yet internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, low, or emotionally exhausted. Perhaps you are carrying the impact of trauma, loss, relationship difficulties, or a persistent sense that something is not quite right. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, yet tired of managing alone. Therapy offers a space to pause, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and begin to move forward with greater clarity.

How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
