If you are experiencing difficult emotions, finding it hard to express your feelings, feeling angry, stressed, depressed, or lonely, struggling in your relationships, telling yourself that you do not deserve happiness in life, failing to achieve goals in your life, or struggling with an eating disorder, or addictive behaviour, I can work alongside you to find ways to assist you to feel happier and more fulfilled, while leading a more meaningful and creative life.
I am an experienced, qualified and registered arts therapist working adults, teens and children. I work within a person-centred, solution focused, strengths based framework. I focus on assisting clients to express feelings that are difficult to verbalise, recover from trauma, change self destructive behaviour, and to find direction and meaning .
If you are struggling with difficult emotions, relationships or behaviours, I can help you to understand yourself better and create the happiness and healing that you deserve. Make your appointment today, to begin your journey to a happier and more creative way of living.
