Art Therapy/Psychotherapy

When people hear 'Art Therapy or Art Psychotherapy', the most common hesitation I encounter is the belief that one needs to be 'good at art'.

I want to start by reassuring you: you do not need any artistic skills to access or benefit from art therapy, and you will never be judged on what you produce.

​

As a trained mental health professional, I view art therapy as an integrative, person-centred journey. We use creative processes, such as drawing, painting, and sculpting, not to create masterpieces, but to find new ways to express yourself, externalise what is difficult, and manage emotional distress. What you create becomes the vital support for our psychotherapeutic work together.

​

My approach meets you exactly where you are at, using inclusive, open, and creative techniques to foster healing and personal insight. Grounded in a psychodynamic and integrative framework, informed by object relations, attachment theories, mindfulness, and years of experience in NHS settings.

​

My core values are rooted in kindness, non-judgment, patience for change, and deep appreciation for the present moment. Registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) and a member of BAAT (British Association of Art Therapists), my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space for emotional and psychological healing.
