Personal Approach
I am a qualified at a Masters level in Art Psychotherapy registered with HCPC. My approach is based on traditional Psychodynamic theory and Jungian analytic theory. Within the creative therapeutic relationship we can discuss emotional/psychological blocks and use art as a tool to provide insight into current and historical issues. Every person is unique and underpinning my approach is a commitment to therapeutic change within the Art Psychotherapy triangle of Art, Client Therapist. I have experience in CAMHS, Residential Care, SEN education and able to provide support to people with a diagnosis of ASD and ADHD.
