About me
I am offering trauma informed, de-medicalised and inclusive individual Art Psychotherapy sessions to children, adolescents and adults. I believe that accessing the unconscious through the act of creating can increase feelings of empowerment, agency and ownership of your own story when words alone are not enough.
Adopting a therapeutic approach which is relational and rooted in psychodynamic practice. Focusing on how early attachments to our caregivers influence how we meet, see and function in the world around us. I have a particular interest in (but not limited to) working with depression, low mood, anxiety, trauma, intergenerational patterns, neurodivergence, gender transition/dysphoria, and bereavement.
About my service
I provide a client-led, non-judgemental, safe and contained space to begin to process difficult experiences and emotions through the use of art materials, play, and conversation. Holding a welcoming space for clients from all backgrounds, where culture, identity and difference can be explored.
Sitting alongside you to discover new perspectives, to build on and develop kindness and compassion towards yourself, to work on finding healthier coping mechanisms and to help you to implement meaningful, lasting change. I work holistically by focusing on the whole person; mind, body, and family system whilst considering the impact of the wider social environment around you.
What next?
I offer a free, no obligation, 15 minute phone call for you to ask questions about what I can offer and to see if we would be a good fit. Long or short term therapeutic work is offered either in person or online. Please send me a message to discuss what you are looking for further.
Training, qualifications & experience
Since qualifying as an Art Psychotherapist (MA, HCPC, BAAT) I have worked therapeutically with both adolescents and primary aged children in schools, in a CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) outpatient setting, and with adults in a mental health charity.
Prior to this, I completed a degree in illustration before gaining extensive experience supporting children on the autistic spectrum in education. This led me to begin to facilitate creative wellbeing workshops within the charity sector, working with service users with brain injuries and with those who were accessing homeless support services.
