Qualified art psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and mindfulness practitioner.

I have been practicing art psychotherapy for 8 years. I have worked with children, young people and carers and families from various cultural backgrounds mainly in educational settings. My private practice takes place in-person and remotely (see options below). I offer sessions for children, young people and adults.

Art therapy is known to: reduce stress and anxiety, activate dopamine reward pathways, promote self-reflection and self-awareness, and redirect negative thoughts.

My therapy practice stems from the belief that everyone is innately creative. Most of the time, our minds (or ego) tell us otherwise. You might be familiar with the thoughts "I am bad in drawing" "I can never make art" "I cannot even draw a line", "I was never good at art".

I passionately believe that the act of art-making and creativity can be an act of self-care and a way of nurturing ourselves. When done in a safe and trusting space, art-making leads to healing and new ways of thinking as it connects people to their own limiting beliefs, narratives, self-critic and other habits and patterns that might no longer be serving us.

In simpler words, with the support of a professional and compassionate art therapist, the art-making process brings the unconscious to a conscious level.

Engaging in art therapy doesn't require any artistic talents or qualifications - it is truly a safe, and non-judgmental space where there is no right and wrong. In a world where we are constantly judging and labeling behaviors and actions as good or bad, art therapy offers relief from that way of thinking.

In art therapy sessions, I provide a non-judgemental space for people to release their creativity and help them get unstuck from a life they feel dissatisfied with, leading to living their lives with a greater sense of clarity, purpose, joy, and fulfillment.

Sessions will involve a blend of art making and exploring the creative process and final piece together. You are welcome and encouraged to make art in between sessions which we can then explore in our session together. When working remotely I will offer support in building a creative space in your own home and familiarising yourself with a range of art materials that you will use in our sessions.

I also offering talking therapy, if you would like to not engage in art.
