Sessions can take place in my studio in Banchory or I can come to you in Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire, or we can meet online if you live further afield.

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

Ironically, although this quote is often attributed to Oscar Wilde, others such as Thomas Merton have also been credited with saying it. Regardless, I think the truth of it still shines through. Learning to celebrate your individuality is good for you AND your work.

Learning to play and explore through creative therapeutic processes is at the heart of everything I do. My approach has evolved over the last two decades through my work as a writing for wellbeing facilitator, my therapeutic training as a counsellor, and the development of my own creative practice as a writer, artist and a creative collaborator. I am also a labyrinth facilitator and this practice in particular emphasises the wisdom of slowing down to go inward to connect with your own creative compass.

The tools I use to outwit the inner critic in my writing practice were crucial when I began to explore the possibilities of combining visual elements with the written word. Having techniques to avoid being side-tracked by an inner dialogue of ‘shoulds’ increases my enjoyment and minimises misdirection and frustration.

The way I work is rooted in the belief that there is no right or wrong way to express your unique creative voice. I offer nurturing support and encouragement to help you explore and take risks at a pace that feels right for you.
