Art Therapist and Therapist
Art Therapist and Therapist
I am an HCPC-registered Art Psychotherapist and a member of BAAT, working with a variety of issues including anxiety, grief, trauma, PTSD, birth trauma, sleep difficulties, bereavement, self esteem issues, addiction, relationship issues and emotional distress. My approach is calm, attuned, and relational, offering a safe and containing space to explore experiences that may feel overwhelming, confusing, or difficult to put into words.
At the core of my practice is the belief that therapy can support healing when there is space to slow down, feel emotionally held, and begin to make sense of both present difficulties and past experiences.
Art Psychotherapy
As an Art Psychotherapist, I offer a creative and reflective therapeutic approach that does not require any previous experience of art. Creative processes can support expression where words alone are not always sufficient, particularly when working with trauma, anxiety, or early relational experiences. This can enable deeper access to thoughts, feelings, and patterns that may feel out of reach in talking therapy alone.
EMDR Therapy
I am also a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapist, offering EMDR both as a standalone treatment and as an integrated part of my clinical work.
EMDR is an evidence-based psychotherapy designed to help the brain reprocess distressing or traumatic memories. It can reduce the emotional intensity of past experiences and support recovery from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and birth trauma. This process allows traumatic memories to become less overwhelming and more adaptive, helping individuals move forward with greater ease and emotional stability.
Integrative Approach to Sleep, Anxiety and Regulation
Alongside Art Psychotherapy and EMDR, I draw on mindfulness, breathwork, Yoga Nidra, and Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) to support nervous system regulation. These approaches can be particularly helpful for sleep disturbance, anxiety, panic, and states of hyperarousal, supporting the body and mind to return to a calmer, more settled state.
My training and experience as a yoga and Yoga Nidra teacher (including pregnancy yoga) informs my clinical work and strengthens my understanding of the mind–body connection in trauma recovery and emotional regulation.
Professional Commitment
I work with care, integrity, and respect for each individual’s unique experience. My aim is to provide a therapeutic space that feels safe, steady, and supportive—where healing can unfold at a pace that feels manageable.
