Many people who find their way to this work have spent a long time trying to put words to experiences that don’t always fit easily into ordinary conversation. They may feel things intensely, think in complex or creative ways, or find that their inner world moves in images, sensations, or metaphor rather than straightforward explanations.
I work especially well with people who feel deeply, think creatively, or have struggled to find therapy that makes space for imagination, sensitivity, or non-linear ways of processing experience.
Often people come to this work after trying other kinds of therapy and wanting something that allows more space for imagination, creativity, or body awareness.
I offer online creative arts therapy and counselling. Sessions are primarily conversation, with optional creative approaches such as writing, imagery, or simple art processes when helpful.
Many people who seek this kind of work are thoughtful, reflective people who are looking for a space where complexity and curiosity are welcome.
We can begin with a 20-minute free introductory conversation to see whether working together might feel like a good fit. You’re also welcome to email me with questions.
