A Journey Back to You

You’ve done the inner work. You’ve read the books, tried the practices, and sought clarity—but something still feels out of reach.

When Life Feels Overwhelming

You may have arrived here because something feels difficult, confusing, or exhausting.

Perhaps your mind feels constantly busy -replaying conversations or worrying about what might happen next. Maybe you feel stuck in patterns you can’t quite explain, despite trying to understand them.

You might find yourself wondering:
Why do I react this way?
Why do I feel so overwhelmed?
Why do I keep repeating the same patterns?
Why does my body feel constantly on edge or exhausted?

Therapy offers a space to explore these questions without judgement.

Through conversation, creative expression, and somatic awareness, we begin to understand the patterns and experiences shaping your inner world. Over time, this can support a deeper sense of clarity, resilience, and connection.

You don’t need to have everything figured out.
We begin wherever you are.

I get you.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

How Art Therapy & Somatic’s

work can help

Creative expression beyond words

Art therapy allows thoughts, emotions, and experiences to be explored through image, colour, and form. This can help express things that are difficult to put into words and can reveal new perspectives and insights.

Listening to the body

Somatic awareness gently brings attention to how experiences live in the body. By noticing sensations, breath, and physical responses, it can support regulation, grounding, and a deeper understanding of your emotional landscape.

Integrating mind, body, and meaning

Together, art therapy and somatic practice create space to explore patterns, emotions, and relationships in a more holistic way. This can support self-understanding, resilience, and new ways of relating to yourself and the world.

This is for you if…

You feel disconnected from yourself, or unsure of what you need.
You notice patterns in your thoughts, relationships, or emotions that feel difficult to shift.
You are carrying stress, overwhelm, or experiences that still feel present in your body.
You want a space where you can explore things at your own pace, without pressure or judgement.
You are open to understanding yourself more deeply- not just through talking, but through creative and embodied exploration.

Not because you have to change, it is more; you want to understand yourself differently.

Yes, I currently work online.
Online therapy offers a flexible and accessible way to engage from your own space. Art therapy can still be incorporated using simple materials, and we can discuss what this looks like during your consultation.
I am also working towards offering in-person sessions in Stockport / Greater Manchester, with accessibility in mind.
TThere is no fixed number of sessions — it depends on your needs and what you would like from therapy.
Sessions are usually weekly or fortnightly, with a 12-week review point to reflect on how things are feeling and whether you’d like to continue.
Online Art Psychotherapy & Somatic Therapy
60 minute session — £65
Accessible/Student rate (60 minutes) — £45
Sessions currently take place online. Art therapy can work well in this format, and we can discuss how creative work may be incorporated during your initial consultation.
Future In-Person Sessions
I am currently in the process of securing an accessible studio space in Stockport / Greater Manchester.
When available, in-person sessions will be 85 minutes, allowing time for creative exploration with materials and a gentle transition at the end of the session.
Fees for in-person sessions will be confirmed once the space is secured.
Accessibility is an important part of my practice. Online sessions can provide flexibility for people who may find travelling difficult due to disability, chronic illness, neurodivergence, or other circumstances.
If you have specific accessibility needs, we can talk about how sessions can be adapted to support you.
