Creative Psychotherapy is the intentional use of creative and activity-based methods for the purpose of therapy and healing of the soul.
The language of the soul is in images, and so, sometimes when we have something that we haven’t been able to process, or a pattern that keeps repeating, talking about it doesn’t always transform it in the way that we would like.
When we use natural objects, picture cards, simple art and written exercises, and connect to the body, walk in nature, and do simple ceremonies, we can access wisdom and insight which is so helpful in the therapy process.
I work very intuitively, have been a qualified practitioner for over 20 years, and have a huge toolbox of practices that can be of help in transforming old patterns.
You don’t need to be an artist or creative to enjoy this process. All activities are simple and perfect for beginners.

About your practitioner
I have a vast toolbox gained from continual professional development, and with you, we will journey together weaving creativity, nature, meditation, structured exercises, the sacred, ceremony, healing, psychotherapy, and forgiveness together with a good dose of gentleness, humour and self-compassion.
I am so moved by the profound shifts that happen when someone chooses to transform their life, and I am honoured to offer this to you.
What happens during a Creative Psychotherapy session?
During the 90 minute introductory session, we will chat about what is happening for you in your life, and what you would most like to transform, change and improve, and what may be getting in the way. It is an opportunity for us both to get a sense if we are a good fit to work together. If we are, I will invite you to undertake a series of seven sessions (my minimum commitment).
There is no typical creative psychotherapy session, as each session is unique, and you may need different tools to help you at different times.
However, we will often follow a similar structure:
1. Begin with a blessing and set the intention for the session.
2. Checking in on the previous week/s, and anything that has been coming up.
Sometimes, you may just need to talk in your session, in which case this sharing can take the whole session. However, often there is time beyond the ‘check-in/ initial exploration’ to undertake another activity to help you to gain insight and awareness.
3. Awareness & processing activity, which could be using objects, art, an activity in nature, guided visualisation, a structured written exercise, or a psycho-education tool.
I also draw on my training as a qualified Life Coach, qualified Confict Coach, and qualified NLP practitioner in these sessions.

After our introductory session, further sessions are bookable as a series of seven sessions.
A minimum of seven sessions to allow for the therapeutic relationship and process to unfold, and for you to begin to see positive change.
In these sessions, I will hold space for you, listen, witness, and use tools, techniques, and practical exercises drawn from my twenty years of qualified experience, to help you to process, gain awareness, transform and reach your desired outcomes.
A series of seven sessions is £385 (if paid weekly) or £350 (saving £35) if paid in full in advance.
