About me
Are you or a loved one navigating emotional challenges, or seeking a safe space to process life’s experiences? I’m here to help. As a compassionate and experienced Art Psychotherapist, Counsellor, and Psychotherapist, I provide tailored support for children, young people, and adults with a wide range of emotional and behavioural needs in Worcestershire.
What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy is a unique, creative form of psychotherapy that blends the use of art materials and the creative process with therapeutic conversation. It allows you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way that words alone may not fully capture. You don’t need any artistic skills or prior experience—just an open mind and a willingness to engage.
What I Offer
I create a non-judgmental and welcoming space where you can freely express yourself and explore your inner world—whether focusing on the present or reflecting on the past. Together, we’ll build a meaningful, therapeutic relationship to help you gain new insights, perspectives, and pathways to healing.
How I work
My approach is person-centred and flexible, meaning I adapt each session to suit your unique needs. Whether you prefer to use art as a primary form of communication or a complement to traditional talking therapy, I’m here to listen.
Why Choose Art Therapy?
Accessible and inclusive: No art skills required! The process—not the final product—is what matters.
Effective and empowering: Art therapy offers a new way to process emotions, reduce stress, and foster personal growth.
Support for all ages: Whether for children, young people, or adults, my sessions are tailored to your stage of life and unique circumstances.
Please get in touch and we can explore how art therapy can help you.
