Anxiety, self-esteem issues, overwhelming stress, grief and loss or trauma are some of the issues that I can address in collaboration with children, teens and adult clients.
As well as typical talk therapy, I utilise non-verbal, creative interventions to enable the expression of feelings, emotions and thoughts through drawing or using miniatures during sessions. This helps to communicate relevant issues and enhance self-understanding, self-development and healing when finding the right words is simply too difficult.
