Services

I support individuals with a wide range of concerns, including:

• Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm
• Depression or low mood
• Childhood or relational trauma
• Family or interpersonal challenges
• Identity, self-esteem, and life transitions
• Emotional regulation difficulties

Sessions integrate relational depth, gentle reflection, and evidence-informed approaches. My work is grounded in psychodynamic practice, which means we explore how your past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns may be influencing how you feel and relate to the world today.

Together, we create a therapeutic direction that suits your needs—whether that is short-term, goal-focused work or longer-term exploration. The most important element is the therapeutic relationship: a space where you feel safe, understood, and able to be yourself.

• Sessions typically last 50 minutes
• Weekly or fortnightly meetings (depending on your needs)
• A confidential, non-judgmental environment
• Collaborative exploration at your own pace
• Building trust, insight, and emotional resilience over time

According to BAAT, art therapy can:

• Help reduce emotional distress and promote self-compassion, agency, and self-worth
• Offer a safe space to process experiences that may be hard to articulate (such as trauma, grief, or internal conflict)
• Be offered across the lifespan: it's suitable for children, young people, adults, or older people—regardless of artistic experience

When you come to Fall Away Therapies for art psychotherapy, you can expect:

• A safe, non-judgmental space to explore your feelings through creative media, regardless of your art experience
• Gentle guidance and reflection on your art—we work together to unpack what your imagery may be telling you
• A flexible, collaborative approach: sometimes we talk more, sometimes we focus on the art
• Ethical, professional practice informed by BAAT standards: your creativity is handled with respect, sensitivity, and care

Art psychotherapists are professionally trained and regulated. In the UK, they must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). BAAT has a code of ethics that its members must follow, ensuring a safe, caring, and ethical environment.

There is a growing body of evidence supporting art therapy's effectiveness in a variety of settings, including mental health services, schools, hospitals, and community services.

• Qualified therapists requiring ongoing professional supervision
• Trainee therapists completing placement hours
• Art therapists and creative practitioners
• Professionals in mental health, social care, or education who work therapeutically with clients
• Those seeking a reflective space to process the emotional impact of their work

Supervision may include discussion of:

• Clinical work and case material
• Theoretical frameworks and interventions
• Safeguarding concerns and ethical dilemmas
• Organisational contexts and professional boundaries
• Personal responses to practice and self-care
• Professional development goals

• Regular supervision sessions (frequency agreed based on your requirements)
• Confidential, reflective dialogue
• A collaborative relationship that honours your autonomy and professional judgment
• Support to work ethically, confidently, and sustainably while honouring your unique therapeutic style

With six years of full-time experience across diverse settings and a commitment to ongoing professional development, I bring both clinical expertise and a genuine interest in supporting fellow practitioners. I understand the challenges of therapeutic work and the importance of having a trusted space to reflect and grow.
