Waitlisting
I am a registered counsellor and arts therapist . Arts Therapy is a form of Psychotherapy. My practice and therapeutic style follows in the humanistic tradition of person-centred therapy which honours you as the ‘expert’ in your own experiences. My intention as an Arts Therapist/Counsellor is to create a space where aspects of your life and emotional experiencing can be attended to gently and in a supportive way. This is often, but not always, through a creative lens and metaphor. Generally our time together starts with traditional ‘talk’ therapy until confidence and trust are established. I will encourage and work alongside you to find and explore ways to express yourself at your own pace. Authentic and supportive relationship is at the core of my work, alongside a belief that approaching ourselves and others with curiosity and compassion leads to deeper understanding and growth.
