About Therapy

The therapy offered aims to deepen your awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and behavioural patterns whilst helping you to develop coping skills.

What is Art Therapy?

Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that allows you to express yourself through creative processes such as drawing, painting, collage or clay work. It provides an outlet for emotional and unconscious expressions. The process of making art can be an emotionally regulating experience that supports you to develop internal skills and a sense of agency to manage emotions. It can also help you explore complex emotions that may be difficult to express through words. Through the creative process, people can express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a non-verbal way, which can be insightful, empowering and validating. This can also support the development of self-esteem. The supportive and non-judgmental environment of art therapy can help people to feel accepted, contributing to a positive self-image. Art therapy offers a unique way for individuals to explore their identity and understand themselves.

What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapy that helps people deal with trauma and difficult experiences. It was developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s. EMDR combines talking therapy with guided eye movements. EMDR works on the idea that traumatic memories can stay locked in the brain, cause symptoms and emotional pain. The therapy involves 8 phases which you are guided through. People find EMDR to be an effective way to process traumatic memories, reduce symptoms, and improve their mental health. EMDR has been used for many conditions, but most notably for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Addictions, Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Performance Anxiety and Phobias.

What is Talking Therapy?

Talking therapy can help with anxiety by providing a safe and supportive environment to express and explore your feelings and thoughts. Through discussions with a therapist, you can identify and challenge thought patterns, learn coping skills and gain a deeper understanding of the root causes. Additionally, talking therapy can also boost self-esteem by promoting self-reflection, helping you recognise and challenge self-critical beliefs, and fostering a more positive self-perception.

Where Do We Start?

Send me a message through the contact form. We’ll schedule a phone call where we talk about what’s going on for you and which therapy you would prefer. We can then schedule an initial therapy session to identify your therapeutic needs and see how working together feels. I will provide you with a GDPR consent form and an intake form to complete before the session.

Moving forward, we'll schedule weekly or biweekly therapy sessions. We can work together short-term or long-term. Long-term means open-ended therapeutic work; there is no set time for it to end. We can work together until it feels right to end or as long as therapy is clinically suitable for you. As therapy progresses, we will periodically review how it’s working for you. I aim to foster a consistent therapeutic relationship with you that allows you the space and support to work through what comes up.
