Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creativity as a way of supporting people to explore and express their thoughts feelings and experiences.

By creating images and making use of a range of art materials art therapy clients unlock subconscious processes to develop new ways to express themselves gain insights and manage emotions.

I qualified as an art psychotherapist after completing an MA in Art Therapy at Derby University in 2016
Since qualifying I have continued to work with children and young people to build on my previous experience as a secondary art teacher. I have a great deal of experience working with children and adolescents and their families where there have a range of presentations within the mental health sector.
I am a member of BAAT (British Association of Art Therapists) and am registered with HCPC (Health Care Professionals Council) which means following procedures and guidelines to ensure effective and safe clinical practise.
