Art therapy offers a consistent and confidential space to explore experiences, thoughts and feelings through art-making. You do not need to be good at art or have any previous experience of using art materials.

I work with adults and young people who are neurodivergent, think they may be neurodivergent, or experience differences in areas such as sensory processing, communication, attention, emotional regulation or relating to others. You do not need to have a formal diagnosis or identify with a particular label.

You might be experiencing anxiety, burnout, grief, depression or a sense of feeling overwhelmed or stuck. You may be living with mental health difficulties, chronic pain, the effects of difficult or traumatic experiences, or ongoing stress within relationships, education, work or daily life. You may simply need somewhere to slow down, make sense of what you are experiencing and reconnect with yourself.

My approach is relational, neuro-affirming and responsive to each person. Sessions can be adapted around your communication, sensory and processing needs. You will be invited to use a range of art materials, but there is no pressure to make art or to speak before you feel ready. We work at a pace that feels manageable for you.

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.
