Art Therapy is suitable for all ages and every stage of life, including people whose lives have been affected by difficult life experiences, systemic inequality and oppression, neurodiversity, illness and/or disability. Being skilled in art or in a craft is not necessary to benefit. Instead, there is a need to be open to the possibilities of the process involved.

Like with any therapy, the process can be challenging as uncomfortable feelings and painful memories may emerge. At the heart of the space that we would share is a robust and meaningful relationship which is reliable, affirmative and reflective.

Background & All Therapies Qualifications

I am an Art Therapist who offers open-ended long-term psychotherapy, which draws upon psychodynamic theory, exploring both conscious and unconscious processes. I also offer environmental art therapy, which uses natural materials in natural settings to facilitate healing and self-exploration.

I offer a secure and confidential environment to which you can explore your difficulties. I hope that therapy with me moves away from pathology and recognises the benefits of cultivating joy, goodness and a meaningful sense of self.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, so I will aim to make it as easy as possible for you. Please call or email me to arrange an initial appointment where we will talk through your particular difficulties and how I may be able to help you. Together, if we decide that therapy together would be helpful, we would build a treatment plan that would be specific to your needs.
