About me

Hello, I am a fully qualified art psychotherapist, supervisor and EMDR practitioner with over twenty years’ experience of working as a therapist. Clients come to therapy for a wide range of issues and I offer both short-term and long-term work. The focus is on finding the best approach to bring about a favourable change in an individual’s life and the client is given space to present things from their own point of view, working at their own pace. When working creatively, artwork can be a means of communicating difficulties, rather than solely the difficulties themselves, thus facilitating this form of self-expression and communication. Sometimes these sessions are based mainly around artwork and other times dialogue. Most often the therapy involves both dialogue and art. The images are not judged for their artistic merit but are seen as possessing potential meanings, such as thoughts, dreams, memories and feelings etc. I also work with and can explore dreams together with clients in the therapy. I am experienced in working with clients who identify as having ADHD and/or an autism diagnosis, including young people with possible traits of neurodiversity who have not yet received a diagnosis and may be struggling with a range of emotions, particularly anxiety. I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and am a member of the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT). I have an enhanced DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service) check.
