Art psychotherapy

I am an HCPC registered Art Psychotherapist and a member of BAAT. I offer remote (e.g. Zoom) neuro and LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma informed art psychotherapy to neurodivergent (diagnosed or undiagnosed) clients of age 5 years upwards (under the age of 12, parent participation is required for parts of the session).

Art psychotherapy is a form of psychotherapy in which we can utilise expressive art in its many forms. It is particularly effective on deeper issues and trauma.

Making art is never compulsory, however, it can open a “window to the unconscious”, which words alone might struggle to do. This is particularly true for autistic people and children who often find it difficult to articulate exactly how they feel.

There is no need for you to be an artist or be “good at art”- absolutely everyone can participate. You need just a few basic materials, such as paper and pencils or any kind of paint. We can also use materials such as plasticine or even basic office type equipment, such as blue tack. Alternatively, we can use technology like making art on tablets/iPads.

For more information about art psychotherapy, please refer to the BAAT (British Association of Art Therapists) website: https://baat.org/art-therapy/what-is-art-therapy/ or get in touch with me.

I offer art psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families.

In order to be most effective, art psychotherapy should ideally take place weekly (although we can also consider other intervals) and is only offered online (e.g. Zoom).
