A little bit about me.....
​As an integrative Arts Psychotherapist I have worked in the NHS, for several charities and in private practice supporting individuals with a range of complex mental health issues. Practising as a counsellor since 2018, I have provided therapy within schools, colleges and youth services, in the community and in care settings.
Prior to training as a therapist I spent 20 years as an Art teacher including 10 years with an alternative provision working with complex and vulnerable young people who were unable to access the mainstream for a wide variety of reasons.
​
I am also an artist. I have a background in Animation and storytelling. I continue to produce my own work and additionally am involved in community Art projects and workshops.
​
Stories are key to my work as a therapist as everyone has a story to share. I work alongside my clients to help them find and tell their own story in their own way, using both words and images to help each client explore their inner world ultimately leading to self-acceptance and therapeutic change.
