CREATIVE THERAPY FOR ADULTS, TEENS & CHILDREN
About
I am a state registered Art Psychotherapist with over 18 years experience, I can offer you personalised and thoughtful psychotherapy, EMDR, solution focused therapy or art therapy.
At any time in our life we may experience a degree of distress that impacts on how we would like to live our life. This could be, but isn’t limited to, anxiety, low self esteem, feeling overwhelmed with rage and anger, feeling stressed and unhappy, the impact of loss or traumatic events or living with a disability that makes it difficult to express feelings. I understand that by contacting me you have a reached a point where you want help therefore I aim to respond promptly to any enquiry.
Some people come to creative therapy because it is difficult to find words that adequately describe their experiences. For some people it’s a sense of things just not feeling right; in this case creative therapy can help bring meaning and satisfaction into their life. Curiosity is also a good reason to try creative therapy and it could be just right for you!
