Art Therapy for women who feel burnt out, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves
Hi, I’m Lesley Andrew, an artist and trauma informed art psychotherapist, and I help people of all ages and backgrounds to express themselves fully.
Different art and creative activities helps improve mental health and build confidence in a way that feels safe, compassionate, and real.
When words are not enough, art heals
Stress, burnout, grief, trauma, self-doubt, hormonal shifts, and emotional overload can leave you feeling flat, foggy, or far away from yourself.
Art therapy offers a different way
Through creative expression, reflection, and compassionate support, it becomes possible to process what you’re carrying, make sense of your inner world, and begin moving forward with more clarity, confidence, and self-trust.
This may be for you if......
You look like you’re coping on the outside, while privately feeling stretched, lost, or emotionally exhausted.
You might be used to being capable, dependable, and thoughtful towards everyone else, but have quietly lost touch with your own needs, voice, and creative spark.
- You feel stressed, burnt out, or emotionally flat.
- You’re in midlife and no longer feel fully like yourself
- You find it hard to put your feelings into words.
- You’re tired of minimising what is going on
- You want support that feels gentle, grounded, and personalised
How creativity and art therapy can support you
Creativity is not about being talented or producing something perfect. It can be a way to slow down, regulate your nervous system, express feelings that feel stuck, and reconnect with parts of yourself that have been pushed aside for too long.
Art therapy can be especially helpful when life feels confusing, heavy, or difficult to explain. It creates a structured but flexible space to explore what is happening emotionally, without needing to have all the right words straight away.
Why work with me
My work brings together art therapy, creativity, emotional insight, and practical support in a way that meets you where you are.
I work in a trauma-informed, flexible way, creating space for honesty, reflection, and meaningful change without pressure or overwhelm.
As an artist, former art teacher, and art psychotherapist, I care deeply about helping women feel safer to express themselves fully.
This work is not about becoming someone else. It’s about finding your way back to who you are.
