Heal & Grow

Do you have to be good at art?

No. Definitely not.

Empowering clients to achieve personal and collective growth

★★★★★

Through Creative Therapy Support

Think of it more like it being a way to explore emotional challenges in a different way to other talking therapies. Our creative processes and techniques are all developed to help you, your loved ones, or your organisation, to heal and grow in a safe and confidential environment.

Encouraging Positive Mental Health

I’m an HCPC-registered Art Psychotherapist, offering creative, compassionate support to adults, young people and organisations.

I work with people and organisations navigating anxiety, trauma, identity, grief or simply needing a safe space to reconnect with themselves. Through a person-centred approach with my clients, we explore what words alone can't always express, by using creative art-making, conversation, and reflective practice.

What Actually Happens In Art Therapy Sessions?

Organisational Art Therapy

This is a safe space for your teams to create art together which helps individuals to consider, detangle and make sense of their individual and the organisational dynamics, in a new light.

Sessions can be for individuals, existing teams, or cross departmental, and are tailored to meet specific aspects found within an organisation such as change-management support during a company re-structure, navigating unsettling rounds of redundancy or easing loyal employees into retirement.

Art therapy for business, offers a powerfully connected and supportive safe space, allowing your employees to reflect on their individual role within the organisation, and strengthens relationships amongst colleagues.

Individual Art Therapy

You will create a physical piece of art, using anything from crayons to clay, from paints to playdough. And we talk....or not. Together we will help make sense of whatever thoughts, feelings or experiences are impacting on your mental well being.

1-2-1 sessions can be in person or online and are 50 mins in duration.

An initial 30 minute free assessment will provide the basis for the direction of the sessions.

A minimum of a 6 x session commitment is recommended.

For trainee and practising art therapists or community artists, I also offer professional practice supervision.

As someone who loves textiles and traditional crafts, I am constantly exploring different practical skills that our ancestors used, which had the added benefit of maintaining their own well being.

The rhythmic and mindful practice involved in weaving a blanket; the meditative qualities of sitting at a spinning wheel or sewing machine; the physical engagement involved in wet felting or arm knitting, are all examples that I practice myself, but also facilitate for others in my craft workshop in Cheshire.

These intergenerational therapeutic workshops run in tangent with my art psychotherapy practice, and are suitable as CPD for groups of community artists, teachers, as well as individuals wanting to practice self care.
