I am an Art Psychotherapist
Art psychotherapy uses creativity and reflection to help you explore your inner world. Sessions may include talking, art-making or both, at a pace that feels right for you. This process can support emotional expression, reduce anxiety, build self-awareness, and help you navigate grief, trauma and life changes.
My values are the heart of my approach
My professional values are lived principles that guide everything I do in practice, shaping relationships, decisions, and creating safe environment. They ensure that my work remains ethical, safe and centred on each individual’s needs.
My work is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy
I work with the unconscious, paying attention to both your present and past experiences and needs, and the deeper patterns that may have shaped your experiences.
I use ' object relations' and 'attachment' frameworks
Object relations and attachment theory are closely related psychotherapeutic frameworks that both focus on early relationships to make sense of our current ones.
I am inspired by other forms of psychotherapy
Such as existential psychotherapy , dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) and systemic psychotherapy. These influences keep my practice open, flexible, and responsive. They enrich the support I offer to each person.
My practice is trauma-informed and inclusive
Trauma-informed practice acknowledges the impact of trauma and integrates principles of safety, trust, choice, collaboration, empowerment, and cultural awareness to prevent re-traumatisation and support healing.
