I work with both adults and teenagers providing short and long term counselling for a variety of common mental health issues. Anxiety, self-doubt, low self-esteem, persistent or seemingly unexplainable feelings of low-mood are all common concerns that many of us will experience at some point in our lives- you are not alone. Perhaps current distressing thoughts, feelings of overwhelm or harmful behaviours have come as a result of a sudden change that you are struggling to process alone; a recent bereavement, relationship breakdown, serious health diagnosis or you have experienced a traumatic injury or assault.

Are looking for someone to help your distressed son or daughter? I work with a wide range of difficulties; seeing distress & behaviour as an attempt to communicate & manage painful emotions. I aim to help children & young people to develop skills, resilience, & self awareness as they traverse the task of growing. I also offer parent work, & supervision to those working with children & families. In my adult practice I have a particular interest in childhood trauma. I am curious as to how our unique histories may influence our capacity to relate & harness what life can offer, as well as manage its inevitable stressors & losses.

Couples Counselling will help you to understand your emotions and discover a new intimacy. I talk to couples every day who are wanting more from their relationships. Some want to renew a long gone passion and others are just fighting to stay together - the answer is often found by looking at new ways to communicate with each other rather than fixing a disagreement. There will be reasons for your behaviour that make sense and I will help you to uncover these throughout our sessions together. You may have an ‘arguing style’ and by looking more deeply, at your inner hurt and anger, we will be able to discover what is really going on.

You can feel worthy of taking up space and st art to believe that you having something of value to offer to the world.
Have you got the point where enough is enough and realise that something needs to change? Is self-doubt derailing your life and stopping you from living up to your full potential? On ‘paper’, it might look like you’ve already achieved a lot but in spite of this you never feel ‘enough’. Perhaps you hold yourself to incredibly high standards and feel like you need to be ‘perfect’. This might mean you feel like you always have to do ‘more’, which leads to feelings of tiredness and exhaustion and maybe even burnout. You may have even been told that you’re an ‘over thinker’ or identify as that yourself.

How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
