Psychotherapy | Art Therapy Leeds

As an Art Psychotherapist, I have completed postgraduate training in Art Psychotherapy, following an undergraduate degree. Art Psychotherapy is a regulated profession, which means all practising Art Psychotherapists in the UK must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Being registered with the HCPC means that I work within professional standards for safe, ethical and responsible practice, and that I continue to develop my knowledge and skills through ongoing professional development. You can check my registration on the HCPC Register.

I also hold an enhanced DBS check, which is required when working with children, young people and vulnerable adults.

I have my own private Art Psychotherapy practice, following 13 years working within the NHS. During this time, I worked in adult mental health, including a specialist forensic setting, alongside individuals, families, carers and other professionals.

I have also worked extensively with children, young people and their families, and enjoy working collaboratively with parents and other professionals to support the people I work with. I also provide personal therapy to Art Psychotherapy trainees as they develop their own therapeutic practice.

I have a particular interest in how we develop emotionally and how our early relationships and experiences can shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others and cope with life. I’m especially interested in the impact that attachment and trauma can have on our emotional wellbeing and development.
