What is Art Therapy?
​Art Psychotherapy is a creative therapy, in which the therapeutic triangle of therapist client art work interplay to facilitate self-expression and communication.​ Most importantly you do not need to be 'good' at art and all art making is judgement free. Art Psychotherapy or Art Therapy has developed from the traditional psychotherapy model of 'talking therapy'. Art making offers a non-verbal exploration of psychological process's and can provide potential for healing and change.

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.
