About me and my therapy practice
Creative Arts Child Counsellor & Therapist
I am a qualified creative arts child counsellor registered with the 网爆门. I hold a Master of Arts degree and have an academic background in both Biology and Cinema, with a Postgraduate qualification in Therapeutic Arts and a Diploma in Child Counselling.
Before training as a therapist, I worked in the creative industry for over a decade as a storyteller and filmmaker. Becoming a mother was a significant turning point in my life, inspiring me to begin my therapeutic training journey. This rich personal and professional background allows me to bring depth, creativity, and empathy to my work with clients.
I work with both children and adults, supporting clients with a range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including:
鈥 Anxiety and panic attacks
鈥 Low mood and depression
鈥 Sleep problems
鈥 Bereavement and loss
鈥 Childhood trauma
鈥 Emotional numbness or feeling 鈥渇rozen鈥
鈥 Relationship and connection issues
鈥 Persistent negative thinking patterns
鈥 Anger and emotional regulation difficulties
Over the last four years, I have worked as part of mental health teams within charities, institutions and schools settings. My experience includes supporting individuals with complex mental health disorders as well as those experiencing mild to moderate anxiety and mood-related challenges.
Practice description
If you're struggling with anxiety, low mood, sleep issues, or emotional difficulties, therapy can help you feel more in control, connected, and hopeful again. What I ask from you is a willingness to explore and engage in the process. You don鈥檛 need to have it all figured out -that鈥檚 what we鈥檙e here to do together.
I understand that trusting a therapist and beginning therapy can feel daunting, especially if you鈥檝e experienced disappointment or emotional hurt in the past. You are not alone in this, and we can start gently. I offer a 75-minute initial assessment session. This longer session gives us time to get to know each other, explore your needs, and see whether we might be a good fit.
Not every therapist is right for every client - and that's okay. It鈥檚 important that you find someone you feel comfortable with. That鈥檚 why assessments are so valuable. After the assessment, if we agree to work together, we鈥檒l begin with a block of six sessions and review progress from there.
I trained at IATE (Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education), one of the leading institutions in the field. In therapy, we combine traditional talking therapy with creative methods such as drawing, painting, movement, and storytelling.
In my practice I invite clients to explore different art forms as well as bodywork and gentle grounding movements. This helps access the unconscious and deeper emotional layers that may be blocked or defended against in verbal communication.
Therapy is a journey, and it's normal to feel emotionally stirred or unsettled at times as you begin to explore long-held feelings. This is often part of the healing process. With time, therapy can support meaningful change and help you feel more connected and in control.
If you're unsure, I encourage you to try one assessment session -it could be the start of something important.
