A creative and soulful approach to psychotherapy, grounded in image, symbol, and our connection to something larger than ourselves.

Therapy can be a place not only for healing, but for reconnection — with your inner life, with the imagination, and with the world beyond the individual self. In my practice, I hold space for the symbolic and the sacred, the poetic and the personal. Whether that’s through art-making, myth, dreams, or your relationship to Nature, we make space for what feels meaningful — even if it resists explanation.

Imagination is not just fantasy — it is a way of perceiving the world with depth. In Art Psychotherapy, what we create can act like a mirror: offering insight, resonance, or mystery. A line, a colour, a fragment of a dream — these become openings into something more than rational thought.

​

Rather than trying to explain everything, we allow space for not-knowing. Symbol and image can guide us, inviting reflection without needing to be pinned down.

When art-making is part of therapy, we’re not aiming to produce an object — but to meet what’s inside us in a new way. The process itself can be contemplative, unexpected, and intimate. Often, the image expresses something not yet known in words. Sometimes it raises questions. Sometimes it quiets the mind.

​

This is a kind of creative dialogue — one that opens up our capacity for feeling, presence, and integration.

In a time of disconnection, ecological grief, and climate anxiety, many people are seeking a deeper relationship with the natural world. In therapy, we might attend to your experience of place, memory, landscape, or seasonal rhythms. This can be a spiritual or grounding presence — or a source of pain, longing, or loss.

​

My approach is informed by ecopsychology, which recognises the psyche as connected to — not separate from — nature.

​

Transpersonal psychotherapy acknowledges that psychological growth is not only about the ego. Experiences of mystery, longing, intuition, or inner transformation are also part of what it means to be human. This might emerge through dreams, synchronicity, image-making, or a sense of connection to something greater.

​

These themes are not interpreted or imposed — rather, we hold space for them gently, and see what meaning might emerge over time.

This work is not about escaping reality — but about allowing something deeper to be present alongside it. Whether you are drawn to this approach through creativity, spirituality, or the natural world, you are welcome here.

​

Together, we create a therapeutic space that honours complexity, nuance, and the rich symbolic life of the psyche.

​

In my own practice as an artist I have much experience of working through image making processes, engaging with themes of connection between between personal and transpersonal self, Nature and landscape.
