Art Psychotherapy is about using verbal and non-verbal communication for insight and emotional regulation. You don't need to be 'good at art' or have any special skills to benefit. 

As an art therapist I am trained in using creative and psychological interventions to help you increase your sense of fulfilment and well-being. 

I offer compassion and support by providing a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel seen and heard, and empowered towards your goals. 

In addition to traditional therapy skills, I offer you a wide choice of materials for regulation and expression. These include sandtray, found objects, paint, clay, poetry, journaling, story-telling, dreamwork, or holistic practices, such as grounding, mindfulness, body-awareness, breath, sound, movement, and nature as a resource.

The advantage of a combined integrative and creative approach is that it enables therapy to be adjusted to your specific needs. It can encourage you to ‘think outside of the box’, while helping to build resilience  & process emotions more safely.

I'm an integrative arts psychotherapist registered with BAAT & HCPC, and cofounder of the Creative Therapy Studio, which offers creative and holistic evidence-based therapy.

I work in-person and remotely with clients, groups, communities and in secondary services. 

I offer coaching and support for personal development goals and work with a broad range of issues, including, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, depression, isolation, anger, grief, loss, identity, relationships, trauma, spirituality, attachment & neurodiversity.

Online & face-to-face - Adults, Adolescents & Seniors - Free 15-min chat for new clients - Concessions for students & low-income - Peaceful studio, close to amenities & surrounded by nature.

I offer a free 15-minute chat (online or telephone) before arranging a meeting to discuss what brings you to therapy. 

During this introductory meeting I will answer questions and address any concerns you have. I will explain how I work and discuss confidentiality and safeguarding before completing a short assessment with you.

The introductory session can serve as a one-off consultation to allow us to jointly consider whether the therapy is suitable for you at this time, or how it can be adapted to meet your needs & goals.
