I studied Fine Art in Canterbury 2002 (BA hons), and later completed my Art Psychotherapy training in 2012 (MA) at Leeds Metropolitan University. I have worked with adults and children in community, hospital and school settings, and also in private practice. 

​

I qualified as an art psychotherapist (Masters level) in 2012, and have since completed additional training and continuous professional development in many areas of interest, such as; Theraplay, Mindfulness, Supervision, Group Therapy, Dyadic Art Psychotherapy (joint therapy with parent/carer/child), and Trauma Informed Practice. I have an enhanced DBS (police and criminal record) check, and have professional indemnity insurance.  I am also trained in safeguarding and child protection procedures.  I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and am a full member of The British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT).

​

As part of my therapeutic practice I undergo regular clinical supervision. Clinical supervision is a requirement of our regulatory bodies and is an essential part of working therapeutically with clients be they adults or children.
