Psychotherapy & Counselling
I work in three London locations: Kings Cross, Highgate and Tufnell Park.
Please see maps and further details about each different location below.
Arts Therapy, Ecotherapy, Psychotherapy & Counselling:
My standard fee is £90 per session. However, I do offer some concessions. If you need a concessionary rate, your needs and circumstances can be discussed in an initial meeting. I have a limited number of spaces for concessionary rates and may be able to add you to a waiting list for a lower rate if I am unable to offer one immediately.
​
​
Therapeutic Arts:
I offer 1-to-1 therapeutic art sessions. This is not psychotherapy or counselling, neither is it art therapy. These sessions are designed to support individuals to explore themes and express themselves using the arts, working on specific goals or areas of interest. This is not appropriate for individuals in extreme difficulty or with histories of trauma, since there is not the same level of consistency and therapeutic support that therapy offers.
Therapeutic Arts sessions are directive and goal oriented, more similar to coaching but using the arts. Typically we would meet to agree on an area of your life you would like to explore, for example your career path, reconnecting with nature or transitioning to motherhood. I would then design specific arts-based activities that you use to explore your topic of interest. This work is usually time limited, typically 6-12 sessions per topic or goal.
​
The standard fee for therapeutic arts sessions is £80 for a 50 minute session.
​
Art for Autism and Special Educational Needs:
I recommend arts therapy for children struggling emotionally or with behavioural issues related to diagnosis. However, I do offer tailored 30-40 minute sessions with children to explore specific needs or areas of concern. This is not therapy, sessions are directive and goal oriented. For example, if a child has a low tolerance for frustration we might book blocks of 12 sessions, each offering a balance of enjoyment and frustration, to support the child to increase their frustration tolerance. Alternatively, a child might struggle with recognising emotions in others or themselves and we might design sessions that use play and the arts specifically to teach emotion labelling and recognition. Children with dyslexia might struggle with the alphabet and we might design sessions involving creating letters and exploring the alphabet using the arts, play and movement.
​
These are just examples of this genre of work but sessions are tailored to the individual and all manner of challenges or difficulties can be focussed on. Sessions can also be planned for adults with learning disability.
​
If you think this approach might benefit you or your child, please arrange a meeting to discuss the behaviours or difficulties you would like to explore. We would have one meeting in which you describe the difficulty and what you would like to achieve and then a follow-up session to discuss my proposed approach and an outline for sessions before the work begins. All meetings and sessions are charged at £90
​
Workshops:
I offer both one-to-one and group workshops. Please see the 'Workshops' tab to see details and rates for upcoming workshops.
