About the Therapist

About the therapist:

At some point in life we all need some extra support. A non-judgemental space to feel seen and heard in our experience. Someone to be alongside us on our journey who is separate from our everyday lives. As a therapist, I aim to offer this in a way that feels congruent and helpful for you. When the world around us can often feel confusing and turbulent, the combination of psychotherapy and creativity can offer containment, insight and the potential for positive change.

Experience and approach:

My core approach blends humanistic and psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling. I offer EMDR therapy for targeting trauma, and Life Span Integration therapy for deep process work. I also integrate aspects of shadow work into my practice.

If appropriate for you, Art making provides a chance to explore and express what words cannot, using creativity and psychodynamic processes. Art psychotherapy is different to other forms of therapy as it is a process between the client, the created art object or image and the therapist. This can all be done in an online capacity, all you need really are some basic art supplies - just a pencil and a sheet of paper can be enough. There is no prior experience or skill in art needed to benefit. There is also no pressure to use or make art within my therapy space.
