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.

​I thoroughly enjoyed the day in a safe & trusted environment. Very surprised how expressive art allowed me to access my deep inner thoughts & feelings. Excellent workshop.

The day allowed me to be grateful for the place in my life & the people I have at this point in time. It enabled me to connect within myself. To stand still & sit with my own thoughts was invaluable.  
​
July 2019
A day full of the richness of art approaches and a warm open safe space for experiential learning. A lovely relaxing and enriching experience.  
​
March 2019
A fantastic workshop, just what I was looking for - space for me to explore and have fun!  Emma provided a safe and professional space for me to explore things that are important to me.  We used a variety of artistic mediums - you really don't have to be good at art to take part, it's all about the expressive process.  The group of people were really nice and supportive too. I'd definitely recommend this!

Thank you for a day that was offered in a way that created feelings of safety, permission to be me and in which I felt taken care of. In such conditions I thrive, flourish and learn.  

Sept 2018
I found Emma to be a respectful and empathetic facilitator and felt held within the group. The day gave me just what I needed to ​acknowledge my growth and development over the past few years.  
​
June 2018
I had a fantastic day, reflecting and sharing with the group, playing with different materials and felt able to be myself. I went away with a lot of food for thought and a smile on my face!
