Art Therapy Lewes
One-to-one, online and group art therapy sessions in central Lewes

HCPC and BAAT registered practitioner
Art Psychotherapy facilitates healing and growth through a combination of talking therapy and creative image-making. It is a space in which you can explore a particular issue, or more broadly, to deepen your self-knowledge and personal creativity. My approach is informed by psychodynamic theory and I offer a space where service-users can feel safe, supported and able to express themselves. Guidance with use of the art materials will be provided; there is no need to be 'good at art'.
Since qualifying from Goldsmiths London in 2010 (MA Art Psychotherapy), 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. For three years, I worked as a visiting lecturer on the MA Art Psychotherapy programme at Roehampton University in London. Currently I am focusing on private work with adults, both online and in-person, although I also see young people occasionally. I am currently running a small group session for women on Tuesdays 2pm-3.30pm. Please do get in touch if you would like to explore options.

This is a 30 minute taster session, online or in-person, 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.
Online therapy is more convenient for some people. I offer weekly mentoring and/or therapy sessions (1 hour) which are mainly verbal, with some image-making if appropriate.
