About me
I am a trained Art Psychotherapist supporting children, young people and adults with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. I work with issues including anxiety, low mood, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship challenges and life transitions, with a special interest in bereavement and loss.
I understand that emotional distress often shows up first in the body and can be hard to put into words. I offer a warm, calm and non-judgemental space where we can explore experiences through conversation and, where helpful, creative work. No previous art experience is needed.
My approach is gentle, collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs. I work at your pace and aim to create a sense of safety, helping you feel supported while making sense of what you’re going through.
I offer sessions in both Putney and my art studio in Checkendon, providing a welcoming space for therapy. Additionally, I offer online sessions to accommodate different needs and preferences.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a trained Art Psychotherapist working with children, young people and adults. While I offer a creative, art-based space when helpful, much of my work is also delivered through talking therapy. I specialise in bereavement and loss, and also support clients with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions.
My training includes a Family Therapy Certificate from the Psychotherapy Institute, the Essentials Course in Psychosynthesis at the Psychosynthesis Trust, and a couples therapy masterclass with Human Givens. I undertake regular CPD and have completed additional training in somatic therapy, deepening my understanding of how the body holds emotional experience and how embodied approaches can support trauma integration and emotional regulation.
I bring significant experience from bereavement services, including St Christopher’s Hospice, supporting clients navigating grief and the wider impact of loss. My approach is integrative, drawing on art psychotherapy, psychodynamic, psychosynthesis models, and is informed by a background in developmental psychology.
