Therapeutic Art Sessions

Ready to reconnect and deep-dive into your creativity?

Want to find out how the process of making art can heal, transform and change your life?

Inspired to include more creativity into all aspects of your life?

My therapeutic art service and gentle guidance delivers a powerful immersion into developing your creativity whether you’re an experienced artist, emerging creative or arty newbie.

This is less about trying to “get it right” and more about finding freedom, courage, fun and mindfulness in the creative process and in your life outside the studio.

I have professional qualifications and years of experience in art therapy, counselling and visual art. My approach is gentle, process orientated, fun and tailored to suit you. I provide guidance with technical skill as well as guidance to enhance self-belief, creative exploration, inner-calm and joy. You will work at your own pace without the pressure to create a “perfect” piece of art.

Results are surprising and transformative. Expect to experience joy, pleasure, confidence, healing and calm. You’ll get to explore who you are in a warm, playful context.

My specialist areas include; children and youth, young women, working with women through transitions and significant life stages such as; navigating the journey to becoming a young adult, motherhood, finding your purpose and what gives your life meaning, separation & divorce, menopause.

I have specialist experience with autism, ADHD and mental health concerns including; depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and personality disorders such as narcissism and BPD.

I’m LGBTIQA friendly.

As well as providing one on one sessions, my group sessions provide a sense of community and connection which clients often find enhances their well-being and creative experience.
