About me

I offer one-to-one psychodynamic Art Psychotherapy and clinical supervision in person or via online video call with a free initial consultation.

Artistic ability is not necessary to engage in Art Psychotherapy.  All artworks and creative processes are valued forms of expressive communication contributing to the therapeutic dialogue. 

I provide both short and long-term Art Psychotherapy with regular reviews of how the therapy is going so we can take time to consider changes in your needs and progress towards your goals.

Therapy is offered in Lee, London (SE12 0RB) accessible by train and bus, and free street parking is available.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered Art Psychotherapist and full member of the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT).  I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and have professional indemnity insurance covering both in person and online therapy.

I have 9 years post qualifying clinical experience, 7 years within the National Health Service (NHS) supporting a range of mental health needs.

I am an experienced Art Psychotherapy supervisor, with experience in clinical and case management supervision, with additional training in integrated models of supervision and online therapy specific training.
