About me
Art Therapy can help you explore difficulties that are affecting your daily life. You may understand what lies behind emotions that you are needing support to work through, I will ensure your sessions are a safe space to explore this further. If you are uncertain what is causing complex feelings, we can explore this gradually at your pace.
I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation. so please get in touch if you have any questions. If you decide to start therapy, the first sessions give us time to consider whether ongoing Art Therapy would be helpful. We can agree an appointment frequency that suits you and adapt the plan of therapy to your needs. Artistic skill is not required and there is no expectation to make art straight away.
Alongside my work with adults I have extensive experience supporting children and young people through Art Therapy. If you are viewing my profile on behalf of your child, please contact me to discuss reasons you are seeking support and we can look at whether Art Therapy may be helpful.

My extensive experience has included supporting individuals with trauma, neurodiversity, diagnosis of ADHD, Autism, anxiety and feelings of low self esteem.
My therapy room in central Hull provides a safe, confidential space. Online therapy and Clinical Supervision can also be offered.
I am registered with the Health Care Professionals Council (HCPC) and a member of The British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT). I hold Professional Indemnity Insurance and an Enhanced DBS check.
