About me

My journey, skills and experience

I studied Criminology at Birkbeck University, London,

and worked for Victim Support before coming back to my first

love, art, in my late 20's.

As well as learning and teaching many technical elements over

the years, art has led me to a place of profound insight and

healing.

I have studied at the Institute of Art Therapy and Education in

Islington, London, and a year of Masters Level Art

Psychotherapy at the University of Roehampton before having

my second child.

Over the last seven years, I have worked at Surrey County

Council in various part-time roles, which provide added

richness and professional development for my freelance work,

and vice versa.

I am currently undertaking an MSc in Child, Adolescent and

Families Mental Health at Sheffield Hallam University.

I am passionate about inclusivity, participation, hearing all

client voices and understanding lived experiences to continually

strive for best practices.
