How I can help
Art Therapy is suitable for all ages and every stage of life, including people whose lives have been affected by difficult life experiences, systemic inequality and oppression, neurodiversity, illness and/or disability. Being skilled in art or in a craft is not necessary to benefit. Instead, there is a need to be open to the possibilities of the process involved. Like with any therapy, the process can be challenging as uncomfortable feelings and painful memories may emerge. At the heart of the space that we would share is a robust and meaningful relationship which is reliable, affirmative and reflective.

About me
Art Therapy is suitable for all ages and every stage of life, including people whose lives have been affected by difficult life experiences, systemic inequality and oppression, neurodiversity, illness and/or disability. Being skilled in art or in a craft is not necessary to benefit. Instead, there is a need to be open to the possibilities of the process involved. Like with any therapy, the process can be challenging as uncomfortable feelings and painful memories may emerge. At the heart of the space that we would share is a robust and meaningful relationship which is reliable, affirmative and reflective.
I offer open-ended long-term psychotherapy which draws upon psychodynamic theory, exploring both conscious and unconscious processes. I am trained in environmental arts therapy, which uses natural materials in natural settings to facilitate healing and self-exploration. All potential clients can have a free, no-commitment 30 min telephone consultation.
I hope that therapy with me moves away from pathology and recognises the benefits of cultivating joy, goodness and a meaningful sense of self. Your therapy would take place in a secure and confidential environment where you can explore your difficulties. Together, we would build a treatment plan that would be specific to your needs.
