about me

Art and expression has been so valuable in my life. Clearing those mind muddles, allowing me to get rid of messy feelings and just feel peaceful. Sometimes I don't want to talk or write things down but being able to paint those emotions away works. 

As an art therapy practitioner I am are here to help you find your expression through your desired creative outlet. Providing and guiding you with a holistic approach to self reflect towards positive well being and find peace and healing in a gentle way.

I have been an artist for over 25 years with experience in emotional studies and own life experience. I am a qualified art therapy practitioner completing my studies 2025 and now furthering these studies to enhance my practise. 

​

I also offer regular workshops 'expressionism' based in groups which sometimes is a nice place to start.

history of art therapy

Art therapy was introduced as a recognised professional therapy in the 20th century but dates back as early as the late 18th century. The first art therapy graduate program was established at the University of Wisconsin in 1945 and is now universally recognised as a legitimate form of therapy focusing on healing.
