About me
Psycho-dynamically trained art psychotherapist providing individual and group sessions with children and adults; who are neurodiverse, experiencing difficulties processing, regulating or managing their emotions, thoughts and feelings.
Art psychotherapy can provide a space to work through emotions that may be difficult to understand. The creative process engages your whole self especially your senses; tactile, smell, visual and sound.
Additionally offering Art teletherapy which are online individual sessions, over a secure network using the video platform on WriteUpp, and digital play therapy which is using video gaming therapeutically.
Sometimes our emotions can be confusing and become stressful or hard to manage; but through the process of art making, we can begin to unpick these hard or heavy emotions, in a safe therapeutic space or in your own home if possible; and with a qualified art psychotherapist. Moving at your pace, allowing you to chose what is being said, or left unsaid and working together, and holding a space for joint reflection.
Working privately in St. Margaret’s House near Meadowbank; offering in person and virtual sessions.
