About me
I'm an HCPC registered Art Psychotherapist and BACP registered member, working with children and adults who may need space to connect and make sense of challenges in a safe and empathetic space.
Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your child, I can help with a non-judgemental approach that recognises the unique strengths and potential in each person and helps them to see that for themselves.
My work is grounded in hope and action oriented, evidence based strategies. I draw from a range of theoretical perspectives which is pluralistic, psychodynamic and client centred. We can set goals together to create change that's right for you or your child.
