Mission
I look forward to working within a group setting to share the benefits of art therapy through art expression workshops. The creative processes and visualisation meditations allow participants access and support to their unconscious thoughts to help them understand themselves by way of seeing though a new lens. TAT also helps people to access alternative healing resources and coping strategies.
I can also offer one-on-one art therapy to all individuals
