Art Psychotherapy

I am a HCPC registered art psychotherapist.

Get in touch for availability for individual or group art therapy sessions. Face to face or online (via zoom) sessions available.

Art therapy combines the creative process and psychotherapy, facilitating self-exploration and understanding. Using imagery, colour and shape as part of this creative therapeutic process, thoughts and feelings can be expressed that would otherwise be difficult to articulate. (Canadianarttherapy.org)

You do not need artistic skill to benefit from art therapy because the focus is on the process of art making rather than the finished piece. Art therapy often focuses on the subconscious processes in our minds and the physiological effects of art making. This takes the pressure off the client/group as they do not need to find words for their difficult thoughts/emotions, instead this can be explored through many forms of art making.  

Approach 

As an experienced art therapist, I provide a safe and nurturing space for individuals to explore their emotions and through creative expression. My approach combines artistic techniques with therapeutic practices, allowing clients to unlock their creativity while fostering personal growth and healing. Together, we will embark a transformative journey that promotes self-discovery and empowerment, helping you to navigate life's challenges in a meaningful way. Embracing the power of art as a tool for healing and connection.
