About me
I am a trained Art Psychotherapist working with children, adolescents, adults and families. Although I offer a creative, art-based space where words may be difficult to find, much of my work is also delivered through talking therapy.
My practice specialises in bereavement and loss, supporting individuals and families as they navigate grief, life transitions and the emotional impact of significant change. I also work with clients experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and challenges with emotional regulation. Areas I support include negative self-talk, managing uncertainty and change, people-pleasing, setting healthy boundaries, perfectionism, self-criticism and stress.
Through therapy, I help clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and a deeper understanding of themselves, supporting them to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and compassion.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining psychodynamic psychotherapy, art psychotherapy, psychosynthesis and developmental psychology. I believe our earliest relationships and experiences shape the ways we understand ourselves, relate to others and respond to the world. Together, we gently explore the patterns, beliefs and protective ways of coping that may once have served an important purpose but now feel limiting, creating space for greater understanding, self-compassion and lasting change.
Alongside reflective dialogue, I incorporate body-based and imaginative approaches to help clients slow down and stay with emotional experience in a way that feels manageable. This may include visualisation, breath awareness, creative exploration and developing a compassionate dialogue with different aspects of the self, supporting clients to understand the function of their inner experiences rather than becoming overwhelmed by them. These approaches can be particularly valuable in grief and trauma, where emotions are often held not only in the mind but also within the body.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a trained Art Psychotherapist and Bereavement Specialist, with experience supporting children, young people, adults and families through a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
I hold an MA in Art Psychotherapy from the University of Roehampton. My training enables me to work therapeutically through both verbal and creative approaches, recognising that art-making can offer an alternative way to explore and communicate experiences that may be difficult to express through words alone.
A significant focus of my professional experience has been bereavement and loss. Before establishing my private practice, I worked within specialist bereavement services, including St Christopher's Hospice and Wandsworth Bereavement Service, supporting children, adolescents, adults and families affected by grief and loss. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the complex and individual ways that bereavement can affect emotional wellbeing, relationships, identity and family life.
Alongside my core training in Art Psychotherapy, I have completed further professional training in Family Therapy. I am committed to ongoing professional development, which continues to inform and deepen my therapeutic practice.
I access regular Clinical Supervision and practice in accordance with the HCPC Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics. I also hold professional indemnity insurance.
