Art Therapy is a space where together we weave creative & solution oriented practices which allow for an approach which supports you or your organisation.

Hello and welcome to my offerings in Art Therapy & Counselling!

My approach to this work will engage your emotional, mental and spiritual health. It works with the unconscious mind to gather new insights and symbols which can be expressed in the art practices we engage in. There is no need for artistic ability as the aim of art therapy is in the process of making and not the outcome being an art piece. The art therapy process invites the sensory and emotional realms to play and insights can be found in this spontaneous container.

In art therapy there are many tools we can bring into our sessions such as:

Guided Meditation // Clay // Mixed Media // Collage // Watercolors // Photography // Painting // Poetry // Movement, and the list goes on! There are no limits on the materials we might find to work with.

My approach:

I have worked with all age groups and specialise in offering support for those who know trauma and continue to experience anxiety, depression, flashbacks, sleep paralysis, sensory issues and or high sensitivity. I practice a trauma informed & client centered approach and my role is to walk alongside and facilitate access to self expression, new stories and rebuild the nervous system. I am highly informed by authors in this work such as Gabor Mate, Bessel van der Kolk, Stephen Porges & Peter Levine.

My own lived experiences of trauma inform my work on a daily basis. I enjoy supporting individuals in their challenges with renewed strength and hope.

The areas where I can most support individuals in Art Therapy are:

Anxiety, Depression, Self Awareness & Self Esteem, Neurodiversity, High Sensitivity, & Trauma.
