I am an experienced Art Psychotherapist registered with BAAT and HCPC and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist. I offer clinical supervision to trainee and qualified Art Psychotherapists.
I work Psychodynamically and use relational and attachment theories. I believe in empowering therapists to find their own way to work with their clients and like to support and challenge thinking to achieve the best outcome for clients and to enable therapists to feel that they can manage the strong feelings that can be evoked through our work
I have worked as an Art Psychotherapist for fifteen years within the NHS, charity and independent sector where I have supervised a number of Art Therapists. I have particular interest and experience of working within Learning Disability Services and in working with adults with Personality Disorders using MBT. I am also registered as an MBT Practioner. I have experience of working with adults with a range of mental health difficulties including those experiencing severe mental illness.
