My Background:
I trained as an art therapist during my time working with art in mental health. I saw the therapeutic properties but also knew myself of the healing properties of art making. My experience includes work with adults in the National Health Service, but also in education in both primary and secondary education specialising in learning disabilities. I have a private practice where I see adults and provide parent child work (dyadic art therapy) I am also an EMDR therapist offering treatment for trauma.
I have an enhanced DBS and have professional indemnity insurance.
