Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art making as the primary way to communicate. It is not an art class, we don't teach and we don't judge the art you make. The art is there as a tool for self-expression, anything goes whether it's a squiggle or even a collection of words.

We specialise in online groups and workshops. We find being online is a really accessible way for people to attend a therapy group. Group therapy is powerful way to receive support. Feeling the support from the other group members has numerous benefits, people often find it reduces feelings of isolation, shame, anxiety. Not feeling "alone" in feeling a certain way is a wonderful benefit.

We frequently support those who are neurodivergent, we find the online nature of the group to be an good fit. In addition, you attend from your own space, so you can feel comfortable with the sensory environment as you can control this, such as; your heating and lighting, what resources you would like on hand to regulate, use materials you feel comfortable with.

I offer online art therapy groups. The groups take place on Zoom with myself and a co-therapist. Group members can be based anywhere in England. The online art therapy groups have been designed to provide a space for exploring thoughts, feelings and situations using art. Using creatively to detangle and make sense of our situations. The group format allows group members to join together, reflect and feel the support from each other. As time goes on the groups' connection will deepen, allowing this to become a powerfully connected, creative, safe space.

These groups are suitable for adults who feel they would benefit from ongoing support. For example; those with long term health conditions, those with anxiety and depression, carers. Online groups are particularly suitable for those who prefer virtual therapy or struggle to find time for themselves. Therapy groups can be particularly useful for those who feel isolated or lonely. When someone is experiencing anxiety or depression, it can be incredibly reassuring to learn others have also experienced this. I hope the groups are accessible and comfortable for neurodivergent individuals.
