Art Therapist Lewes
Since qualifying from Goldsmiths London in 2010, I have worked with a wide range of clients, from young children through to older adults.  I have worked for the NHS, in educational settings and for local charities.  Currently I am focusing on private work with adults, although I do also see young people occasionally.  My approach is informed by psychodynamic theory but my main objective is to create a space where participants feel safe, supported and able to share their feelings if and when they choose.  You don't need to be 'good at art' to do art therapy and I can guide your understanding of the art materials as required.  I am currently running a group session for adults on Tuesdays 2pm-3.30pm and I see individual clients before 1pm on Tuesday or Thursday; or after 5pm on most weekdays.  I do not work at weekends.  Please do get in touch if you would like to chat.

This is a 30 minute taster session for people who are curious about art therapy and would like to have a short introductory session before committing.

Individual sessions lasting 55 minutes are usually conducted one-to-one, although there is also the option for online sessions if required. 

A set of 6-12 sessions is usually recommended.

Group work (1.5 hours) is a good choice for people who want to be part of a supportive creative community, where responses to the artworks may be shared.  To be booked in blocks of 6 sessions (£120) which can be renewed.
