My approach is gentle, holistic, humanistic and person centred.
If you’re feeling stuck or unable to move forward, confused with your behaviour and reactions (or others around you) or you need to make sense or meaning of you and your life or your purpose, then I would love to work with you.
I have been trained in psychotherapy using the arts (Art Therapy) which encourages the integration of many therapeutic interventions which can include the Arts when and where appropriate. The Arts are a very powerful means of tapping into the unconscious (using drawing/painting, clay, puppetry, sand-tray, music, drama and movement. Creative writing is also incredibly therapeutic.
I am a provider with ‘Support for Parents with Anxious Childhood Emotions’ – or SPACE. This is a program designed especially for parents to support them with children with adverse emotions (https://www.spacetreatment.net/)
I offer a free 30 minute telephone consultation to determine if I am the right fit for you and we can decide together on a plan thereafter.
Experience
I have had over 4 years experience working with all ages & difficulties including anxiety, anger, grief, OCD, Neurodiversity, self harm and suicidal ideation.
I have run workshops in dementia care homes, with refugees and their children, for many other charities and in schools, etc.
I now work mainly with people individually (1:1) in person or online (ie. zoom/FaceTime) and also within groups (such as couples or families).
