If this is your first time or hundredth time in therapy, no matter where you are in life,
I will provide a comfortable, honest, non-judgemental safe space that works for you.
I provide arts psychotherapy to adults in West & Southwest London & favour an
client-led, integrative & humanistic approach.
I specialise in working with individuals with complex presentations & trauma.
My aim is that we can create a space, where you can be your authentic self by
feeling seen, heard & understood - no matter the issue or theme you bring.
Whatever is needed, I will accompany you on your individual therapy journey & support you to reach your personal goals.
The Arts in therapy sessions
The arts are an alternative approach to traditional talking therapy. The arts can provide a deeper insight when it is hard to find the words for your experiences and feelings.
In my sessions, the seven art forms are available for you
to explore your inner & outer world.
- Art
- Drama / Puppetry
- Sculpture / Clay
- Poetry
- Sand-play
- Music
- Bodywork / Movement
No previous experience with the arts is needed.
Be curious & allow your authentic self to thrive via the arts.
