What is Online Arts Therapy?

Online Arts Therapy offers a gentle, creative space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences — especially when words alone don't quite capture what's going on. You don't need to be "artistic" or have any creative experience; just a willingness to show up with curiosity and openness.

As an Integrative Arts Psychotherapist, I'm trained to work with a range of creative approaches, including image-making, writing, movement, sand tray, therapeutic cards, and other expressive methods, all of which can be adapted for online sessions.

Every session is different. Some people prefer to talk, while others find that creativity offers another way to reflect, express themselves, or gain insight. We'll work together to find an approach that feels comfortable and meaningful for you at your own pace.

Therapy with me is person-centred, creative, and trauma-informed.

No art skills required. Just bring yourself.

Is Online Therapy Right for Me?

For many people, online therapy is just as effective as meeting in person. It offers the flexibility to access support from wherever you are, without the time and stress of travelling to appointments.

Many clients find it easier to open up from the comfort and familiarity of their own home. It can also make therapy more accessible if you travel regularly, live abroad, have caring responsibilities, or simply prefer the convenience of online sessions.

All you need is a private space, a reliable internet connection, and somewhere you feel comfortable talking.

If you've never had therapy before, that's absolutely okay. Our first session is simply an opportunity to explore what's brought you here, answer any questions you may have, and see whether working together feels like the right fit.

Common Issues I Support

People come to therapy for many different reasons. Some of the issues I commonly support clients with include:

  • Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm

  • Burnout and exhaustion

  • Life transitions and periods of change

  • Menopause and hormonal changes

  • Grief and loss

  • Identity, self-esteem, and belonging

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Childhood experiences and relational trauma

  • Depression and low mood

  • Feeling stuck, uncertain, or disconnected from yourself

You don't need a diagnosis or a crisis to begin therapy. Sometimes it's simply a sense that something isn't quite right, or a feeling that you'd like support in making sense of what's happening. Therapy offers a space to explore that together.
