LOOK INSIDE!!
In case we haven't met before.......
My name is Lesley and I live in Leeds, West Yorkshire
- I am artist and trauma informed art therapist and used to be an art teacher so bring all these elements together to support you to achieve your wellbeing goals.
- I am on a mission to make the world a more CREATIVE PLACE and to help people to really connect with, TRUST and EXPRESS themselves to feel confident, grounded and energised.
- My favourite flower is a sunflower and I am at my best when surrounded by like minded people and my happy place is either in my art studio or up a mountain.
- One of my key values in life is to live with authenticity and so recognising my vulnerabilities as well as strengths is important to me.
- As a woman in my 40s I am no stranger to the impact that hormonal changes have on people's mental and emotional wellbeing, this is one of the driving forces behind my programmes as I want to empower women to be able to express their true selves regardless as to what they are going through or have been though in their lives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What kind of art equipment do i need?
You are encouraged to make as much or as little art as you like and whilst having a variety of art materials can be useful you can start with just a small selection such as pencil crayons, pastels and paint.
You may like to use a sketchbook or individual sheets of paper to create art and record your ideas much like having a creative journal. As your artwork develops you may decide to work bigger, on canvas or other surfaces and can make 2D art such as collage, paintings or drawings or 3D making sculptures or crafts from different materials.
Do I need to be good at art? Will I be taught art skills?
There are no requirements to have loads of art skills or experience or have studied art previously to take part in the program and I always say that expression is more important than perfection.
You will be encouraged to express yourself using art in different ways as well as if you prefer to introduce, music, dance, poetry, comedy or whatever form of creativity suits you.
Whilst the focus is not on the teaching of skills through the coaching and group accountability there are ample opportunities to improve your skills as well as to develop ideas.
How much time do I need to commit to the programme?
For this one to one service at an investment of £275 you will be able to access 4 weekly online sessions (using zoom). I am flexible about when you take these depending on availability but best spaced out rather closely together to allow you to take action and be creative between sessions.
These will last around 45 mins and are designed to help you to be creative and express yourself as well as learning ways to regulate your nervous system to help you regulate emotions
You can access the resources and watch the training videos in your own time and it's up to you as to how much time you dedicate to your art and creative practise. Some people find it helpful to block out a period of time each day and others prefer to allocate one or two days in the week to make art.
What is Art Therapy?
In such a short period of time there may not be not long enough to provide a service that explores deeper emotional challenges including traumatic experiences that art therapy is very beneficial for so it might not feel like you are taking part in therapy in a traditional way.
What it might feel more like is 'Creativity and Wellbeing Coaching' with curious prompts for you to explore ideas whilst supporting you to make art for self care and self expression.
.
If you are looking for a deeper exploration and more support then my 6 month 1-1 service might feel appropriate for you as the next step, as this allows for more time as longer sessions.
