Welcome to Seedpod Creative Arts Studio
There are all sorts of reasons people come to therapy. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed, navigating trauma or neurodivergence, going through a significant change, or you may simply be finding that something in your life isn't working anymore.
My approach is relational, collaborative and trauma-informed. As a Creative Arts Therapist and registered counsellor, I work flexibly depending on what feels most useful to you. Sessions might be primarily conversational, or we may draw on creative, body-based or somatic approaches as part of the work. You don't need to be artistic, and there's no expectation that you make art.
When working with trauma, I pay particular attention to emotional and nervous system safety, with sessions paced collaboratively and an emphasis on choice and consent.
Ways We Can Work Together
Who I Work With
I support adults navigating:
Anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional dysregulation
Trauma or complex trauma (CPTSD)
Late-identified neurodivergence, or exploring neurodivergent identity
Relationship difficulties and recurring relational patterns
Periods of transition, grief, or loss
Identity exploration and self-understanding
Disconnection from creativity, or a longing for self-expression
I also have experience working with adults living with psychosocial disability, chronic illness, ABI and longer-term or complex mental health experiences.
Creative Arts Therapy
Creative Arts Therapy offers another way of exploring experiences that may be difficult to put into words. Art-making, imagery, metaphor and embodied approaches can become part of therapy when they feel useful to you.
Counselling
Talking can be an important part of making sense of what we're experiencing. I offer relational, trauma-informed counselling for adults, with attention to your experiences and how they may also be showing up in the body and nervous system.
Interested in working together?
I offer sessions in Thornbury and online. If you'd like to ask a question or see whether we might be a good fit, you're welcome to book a free 10-minute introductory call.
