  • Work as a trauma-recovery therapist using the Somatic Experiencing framework, focusing on single-event trauma, complex trauma and abuse, mental health disorders and recovery, individual and group dynamics, object relations and attachment theory for children and adults

Monthly Art Therapy supervision

My monthly Art Therapy supervision group is now available for professional practitioners. These are open groups for practitioners to attend. This is an opportunity to meet and consult with other professionals who specialise in a variety of areas, and to use art as a means for reflective practice and developing yourself as a practitioner.
