Why | My journey into therapy began many years ago whilst working as a primary school teacher. Since then, I have moved towards a more creative therapeutic approach and have successfully completed a master’s degree in art Psychotherapy.

Who | Children aged 3+, teenagers, and adults.

How | Exploring thoughts and feelings through a range of creative mediums including paint, pastels, clay, charcoal, and other art materials.

My passion | Helping people discover that feelings and emotions can be expressed through creativity — not just words.

My little-known fact | I am also a fully trained British Wheel of Yoga teacher and tarot reader.

My self-care tip | What works best for me is spending time being creative, whether that’s making art or baking cakes!
