There are many times throughout life where things can feel overwhelming and difficult. The ability to navigate these moments can be even more of a struggle when we are also faced with anxiety, fear, grief or depression. 

 

When life becomes this challenging it can become hard to understand how we feel or how others feel about us. 

 

I offer therapy that is compassionate and non-judgemental, offering you a supportive environment to make sense of your thoughts and feelings. 

 

Psychotherapy that has a creative approach can help you look at the issues you face from different perspectives and with a sense of emotional safety. This approach can also help you to gain more confidence about who you are and an opportunity to reassess what you want from life. 

 

 

Our 50-minute sessions will be a held in a safe, non-judgemental space, where you will have the opportunity to share any challenges you may be facing and together we can seek to understand what you are experiencing. 

 

As a creative psychotherapist there is the opportunity for you to use art materials. This can help us explore certain issues in more detail, particularly where there might not be the words available to describe them or where it feels too difficult to discuss them out loud. 

 

This might involve creating an image using paint or a sand tray, choosing one of the ready-made picture cards or even describing a vivid and memorable dream. There will be a variety of materials available to use in the room but it will be your choice as to what you use (or don't use) during our sessions. There may be sessions where we don't use art at all, but having the opportunity to use the arts can be a rich and enhancing experience in therapy. 

 

I work flexibly and inclusively, considering it crucial to our work to use an intersectional lens and thinking carefully how class, race, sexuality, neuro differences and cultural identities can influence our work together.
