Art Therapy

“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way—things I had no words for.”

Georgia O’Keeffe — Artist

What is art therapy?

Art therapy is an established profession and form of psychotherapy practised internationally and delivered by trained art therapists.


How can it help?

Art therapy offers a supportive space to explore and express experiences through art-making and the creative process, as well as an opportunity to reflect on emotional responses, ways of relating, and coping with difficult moments.


Who is it suitable for?

Art therapy is suitable for people of all ages, backgrounds and artistic abilities.

It can be particularly helpful for those who communicate non-verbally, as well as anyone who finds it difficult to put their experiences into words.

About Sarah

“Art is the meeting ground of the world inside and the world outside.”

Elinor Ulman — Pioneer Art Therapist

I am a professionally trained art therapist, registered member of the European Federation of Art Therapy and associate member of the British Association of Art Therapists.

My identity as an art therapist is shaped by a background in art and design, and rooted in a spirit of curiosity and exploration. I have a particular interest in materiality — how the qualities of different materials, and the ways we interact with them, can provide a language for communication.

I have professional experience across the creative, educational and charitable sectors, and have worked with people of different ages, backgrounds and cultures.

My practice is informed by a psychodynamic, relational approach, with attention to individual experience, personal meaning and agency. I believe in each person’s capacity for growth, and approach the therapeutic relationship with openness, respect and confidentiality.
