Why I use art in therapy

Sometimes, words alone can't capture what we're feeling. That's where art therapy comes in—a unique approach that combines creativity with therapy to help you explore your thoughts and emotions in a different way.

Why art therapy?

Express what's hard to say – creating art can help you tap into feelings and experiences that might be buried deep inside, offering new insights and perspectives.

Soothe your mind & nervous system – engaging with art materials can be incredibly calming, helping to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

Backed by science – research shows that art-making can enhance brain function, influencing brain wave patterns and emotions, and even boosting serotonin levels.

No artistic talent needed

You don't have to be an artist to benefit from art therapy. It's about the process, not the end product. Whether you're using clay, collage, or a sand tray, the act of creating can be enlightening and healing.

A trusted professional

As a qualified art therapist, I'm registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the regulatory body for arts therapists in the UK. I am also a member of the UKCP. This means I've met strict professional standards and am licensed to work within the NHS, ensuring you receive safe and effective care.

More than just Art

While art therapy is a powerful tool, it's not the only approach I offer. We can combine creative methods with traditional talking therapies, tailoring our sessions to what works best for you.
