About me
I am an experienced and qualified Creative Arts Psychotherapist, proficient in understanding the mind/body as an instrument of self-expression and its emotional and physical needs. I work with both adults and children/young people.
I trained and worked in community arts (music, theatre, dance) to begin with and worked with many diverse communities over the years. Community arts is creativity at its rawest, often coated with deep social needs, giving voices to those who struggle with words. And it was these depths of the human condition that guided me to study further.
I have an MA in Applied Theatre (2005) and an MA in Dance Movement Psychotherapy (2015). My self study continues in trauma, child psychology and somatic awareness. My deep curiosity about meditation, mindfulness and nature awareness also influence my method of practice.
My approach is very much person centered and the use of creative arts and play is entirely client led. Sometimes when words are not enough or feel insufficient in our expression, the use of the arts can bring another depth to our therapeutic process. I work with adults and children.
