ABOUT ME
So, a little about me... (the nuts and bolts stuff first)
I'm a HCPC registered Art Therapist, Art Facilitator & Artist based in Birmingham. My pronouns are she/ her.
I work online and face to face with themes including childhood abuse, abuse, trauma, complex trauma, domestic violence and abuse, depression, anxiety, GSRD (Gender, Sex & Relationship Diversity), neurodivergence, learning difficulties, displacement, racism and classism.
As an artist and art therapist I use art materials to explore expression, thoughts, feelings and different ways of communication, both verbal and nonverbal.
I graduated from the University of Hertfordshire in 2020 with a masters in Art Therapy.
Just to add too...
I am an Art Therapist with lived experience in mental health and I'm neurodivergent. So I understand how tricky it can be with trying to figure ourselves out and 'just being' in various environments too.
...and now the other stuff...
As you can imagine, I'm a HUGE fan ofthe arts.
I am also an avid traveller! You can usually find me in a gallery, museum, live music event or exploring a town, city or country somewhere, taking in the cultures, sampling the foods, snapping the architecture and landscapes whilst sipping a coffee and eating chocolate...lots of chocolate!
