I'm a BACP Accredited Therapist with a Dip.Counselling and Advanced Cert. in Expressive Arts Group Therapy. 

I run Expressive Arts Therapy Workshops for Counsellors and Mental Health Practitioners in training and practice - providing a held therapeutic space for reflective self care, creative expression and connection. I also work with children, young people and families within the NHS. 

​My therapy is informed by Internal Family Systems and Systemic Family Practice, holding all aspects of our individual experience within a relational context - internally and externally. Exploring and working with personal, historical and structural factors that have collectively shaped and continue to shape us as individuals. I hold an ongoing commitment to anti-oppressive practice.
​​
There are a multitude of models that help us to explore the way we think, feel and act - however, a large factor in reaching the place we need to be is through a safe, connective and accepting space to explore change through self discovery - with the right support therapy is life changing.  

​I offer a sensitive and confidential service for anyone who wants to explore their current situation and make effective change in ways that are right for them.
