Kindness to Oneself
A bridge to personal growth & transformation, when it might seem impossible to imagine change and feeling better.
Paying attention to one’s mental health, caring about it and taking time to care for it, is far from self-indulgent. It is an act of kindness to oneself. An act of compassion, of curiosity and of courage. An act that can have far reaching effects on our lives and all our relationships. Sometimes it can seem impossible to imagine change and feeling better. I work with people who may feel very stuck and have a desire for change. Art & Talking psychotherapy can help.
“I want to thank you for all that you did to help me to move on in my life – it has been a wonderful experience to work out my riddles with you.
I am so glad people like you exist, but perhaps it is mainly because you are an excellent practitioner.”
As an experienced State Registered Art Psychotherapist, I work through a combination of nurture, talking, art, symbolism, dreams, and expressions.

I work with adults and young people aged 15 years and older.

Your relationships may be suffering or are feeling difficult to manage. You may wish to change some of your behaviours or reactions to people or events. Art & talking psychotherapy can help …

Following this an initial ninety minute consultation can be arranged. This can be arranged either face to face or via Zoom. This consultation will give you an opportunity to ask any questions and gain a sense of me and how we will work together. If you decide to go ahead with regular therapy sessions we can book a weekly appointment at the same time each week.
Hybrid: online and face to face (in the therapy room) sessions:
It may not be easy or possible to get to some therapy sessions therefore you can now arrange a combination of face to face and Zoom sessions. I offer a hybrid. Weekly sessions are arranged on the same day and time whether face to face or via Zoom. A combination of online and face to face may work well for some people however, this does not mean it suits everyone.

Online sessions exclusively:
Online sessions exclusively:
If you are unable to make it to the practice at any time and prefer online Zoom sessions only, this may be possible to arrange following a consultation.
How online sessions work and what is required:
You will need a quiet undisturbed room where you feel comfortable and are able to speak freely and confidentially. Please make sure you do not have any recording devices such as Amazon Echo or Alexa in the room you use. You will be sent a unique Zoom invitation link for the same time/day of the arranged weekly session. It will be helpful to keep this link safe. The Zoom session will always begin at the time of your arranged weekly session.
Please note:
On some occasions it may be necessary for me to move sessions to online with advanced notice. However, all sessions throughout the year will be planned as face to face unless otherwise agreed.
