Art therapy offers a consistent, confidential space to explore your experiences, thoughts and feelings through art-making. You don’t need to be good at art, and you don’t need any previous experience with art materials.

Is this for you?

You might be here because you’re navigating:

• Anxiety, low mood or depression
• Grief, loss or a major life transition
• Burnout, or feeling overwhelmed and stuck
• Chronic pain or the effects of difficult past experiences
• Ongoing stress in relationships, work, education or daily life

Or maybe there isn’t a single reason, you just need space to slow down.

I’m an art psychotherapist for adults and young people, and I also work with people who are neurodivergent, suspect they might be neurodivergent, or who notice differences in how they process sensory input, communicate, focus or regulate emotion. You don’t need a diagnosis or a label to reach out.

Sessions are relational and neuro-affirming (you can read more about my approach here), which in practice means:

• We move at a pace that works for you, not a fixed programme
• You choose whether to make art, talk, or both, there’s no set order and no pressure
• A range of art materials is available, but nothing is required
• Sessions adapt around how you communicate and process information

Working with young people

Art therapy can offer young people another way to communicate and explore experiences that may feel difficult to explain in words. Sessions are shaped around the young person’s interests, needs and preferred ways of expressing themselves.

For young people under 18, I begin by speaking with a parent or carer to understand what support is being sought and whether art therapy may be suitable. The young person’s privacy is respected, while parents or carers remain appropriately involved in decisions about their care and safety.

How sessions work

Sessions take place weekly at a regular time, either online or in a private therapy space. Each session lasts 50 minutes.

We will begin with a free introductory call to talk briefly about what has brought you to therapy, any access or communication needs, and whether working together feels like the right fit. We can then agree an initial period of therapy and review this together as the work develops.
