Together, we explore goals, build skills and identify what is needed to support meaningful growth. At every stage of the therapeutic journey, I take time to understand you and or your child’s unique needs, interests and strengths.

What is Art Therapy?
Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative expression—such as painting, clay work, writing, or movement—to explore emotions, gain personal insight, and support self-acceptance. Through a collaborative and supportive process, Art Therapy helps individuals create meaningful pathways forward, aligned with their values and desired ways of living.
The strength of Art Therapy lies in its ability to access emotions and experiences that may be difficult to express through words alone. Creativity becomes a language through which meaning is discovered and healing begins.
Do I Need to Be Creative?
No artistic experience or skills are necessary. Art Therapy is about the process, not the final product. Sessions are tailored to suit individual or group needs and can support:
Emotional expression
Nervous system regulation
Existential exploration
Awareness of behaviour patterns
Skill building and personal growth
