I am a highly specialist art psychotherapist with over 17 years experience of working as a therapist in the NHS, third sector and educational settings, with a specialism in working with developmental trauma. I started my career working with adults with learning disabilities and have become practiced at adapting my therapeutic stance to fit the needs of the client using creativity and pragmatism to create safety and connection. For many years now, my therapy practice has focused on re-building and strengthening attachment relationships through artmaking and play to create new family and relational narratives. I work with clients across the age range.

I have a particular interest in neurodivergency, and helping individuals and families make sense of and connect with how this shapes their lived experience.  I specialise in supporting recovery from trauma including domestic abuse, sexual abuse and traumatic bereavements. I believe in prioritising safety, transparency and collaboration with therapy clients through warmth, creativity and connection.
