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

​I trained as a counsellor after studying philosophy of mind and integrate elements of different therapeutic and philosophical approaches into my practice. I run Expressive Arts Therapy Workshops for Counsellors and Mental Health Practitioners in training and practice which provide a held therapeutic space for reflective self care, expression, creativity and connection. I also work with children and young people within the NHS and deliver integrative psychoeducational groups within institutions.​
​​
There are a multitude of models that provide useful insights and tools to 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 and expression - with the right combination and 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 the ways that feel right for them.
