You don't have to be good at art to do arts therapy. It's about self-expression and using art (collage, clay, dance, poems and puppets are OK too!) to explore issues. I first listen, ask questions and invite to do a gentle process. I'm a young professional, curious, attentive, ready to learn and get to know you while supporting you. I aim to offer creative and different ways of looking at things where perhaps talking therapy isn't quite the answer. I like humour and playfulness, especially for adults, but also children and adolescents.

I'm Kubra - and I work with kids, teens and young adults. Growing up neurodivergent can feel like you have been caught be tween two lands. There is the land of mainstream neurotypicalism - this land is made up of unspoken and confusing rules, uncomfortable clothes, and expectations about how you should move, speak, and look at other people (and for how long!).
