I am an Art Psychotherapist. During my 25-year career as a nurse, I have acquired a wealth of professional experience, and specialising in Hospice care. I have a passion for creativity and decided to marry my healthcare experience and my lived experience to bring art into peoples’ lives as a healing, restorative, transformative form of expression.
I am highly flexible and adaptable in working with people, adjusting to the here and now, with events, time, materials, and use of space. I possess passion and dedication for art psychotherapy and I co-create with people of all ages, encouraging them to explore and express problems and strengths, building self-confidence and resilience, and feeling recognised and understood.
My ambition is to establish a Community ‘open studio’ in the RCT region, for people with mental health difficulties to access a safe, supportive, creative space. HCPC registered art psychotherapists and volunteers will be present to facilitate group therapy on designated days, other days will be an open space for people to just be, to create at their own pace and enjoy the diverse community of people coming together for refuge.
I am searching for a permanent, low rent, secure, accessible space to establish an community-focused organisation.
