In my art therapy practice, I take a relational and trauma-informed approach, meaning that I place great importance on safety, trust, and the therapeutic relationship. I am attentive to how the body carries experience, and to the interplay between ourselves and our surroundings in shaping how we experience ourselves, our relationships and the world. 

Art-making in sessions is not about skill but about opening up to the senses, through touch, movement, colour, texture and presence - often in a playful way.

It is a way to explore emotions, sensations and relationships, supporting people in finding their own ways of making sense of what they are going through, and opening space for new possibilities to emerge. 

I trained in Expressive Arts Therapy in Norway (PGDip) and as an Art Psychotherapist in the UK (MA), and I also hold a CPCAB-accredited diploma in art therapy supervision. I have worked as a therapist for more than ten years in adult mental health services, and more recently with children and adolescents in school settings. 

In addition to my therapeutic work, I offer clinical supervision to qualified art therapists and trainees. My supervision practice draws on creative processes as a way of accessing deeper layers of experience and knowing, supporting therapists to explore their work and themselves beyond purely verbal reflection.
