I am an Art Psychotherapist and practising artist based in London. With over ten years of experience working in healthcare, I have supported adults with complex needs and mental health challenges as an art facilitator and in 2020 was honoured in the Queens honours list for my services to care home residents and staff through the use of art.

After qualifying as an Art Psychotherapist in 2024, I have facilitated both individual and group art therapy sessions, alongside creative wellbeing workshops designed to support emotional expression, self-awareness, and personal growth.
My approach is warm, grounded, and compassionate. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard and understood, while also being gently encouraged to explore challenges, patterns, and possibilities for change at their own pace. I am HCPC registered, BAAT accredited and insured.

Creative Well-being Workshops
Benefits Of Creative Well-being Workshops
Art and wellbeing together can greatly improve quality of life. The workshops provide a welcoming and supportive space where participants can relax, connect with others, and express themselves creatively. Taking part in these workshops can support emotional wellbeing, reduce feelings of anxiety and depression, and encourage a sense of community and social connection.
Each workshop includes a theme and technique, giving participants the opportunity to explore creativity while learning new skills to support their mental health. Participants are encouraged to experiment with a variety of materials and processes, helping them build confidence and discover new ways of self-expression.
The sessions also create opportunities to share ideas, experiences, and artwork with others in a safe and inclusive environment, fostering both personal growth and community connection.
“The sessions have allowed me to connect to deep emotions and to have a safe space to deal with things.”

What is art psychotherapy?
Art psychotherapy is a supportive form of therapy that uses creative expression, such as drawing, painting, or collage, to help explore thoughts and emotions in a safe and confidential space.
No artistic experience is needed — the focus is on the process of creating and reflecting, rather than artistic skill.
It can help with self-understanding, emotional wellbeing, stress, anxiety, trauma, and personal growth.
To take part, you simply need a device with a camera, a private and comfortable space, and any art materials you feel drawn to use.
Clinical areas -
Anxiety/depression
Emotional regulation

Stress
