Hello, my name is Flo, and I am an Art Therapist registered with HCPC. In therapy, I view my role as a supporter who works alongside you to help you feel safe (or brave) enough to explore your inner world.

It is essential that therapy feels like your space. There can be as much or as little art-making/ talking as you wish. Prior experience or interest in art is not necessary to benefit from art psychotherapy.

I have worked with those affected by trauma, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, social isolation, complex grief, learning difficulties, and societal oppression (amongst others). My work is anti-oppressive, and I look to better my understanding of diverse lived experiences daily. Compassion, empowerment, mindfulness, and play are all cornerstones of my practice.

OCD

Alongside my professional training, I have lived experience of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I know how consuming, shameful and isolating it can feel, and how important it is to receive the right kind of support. As such, I have received training to deliver the ‘gold standard’ treatment for OCD: Exposure Response Prevention (ERP).

My lived experience with OCD provides me with invaluable insight that allows me to meet clients with deep empathy, authenticity, and most importantly, hope. I am living proof that it is possible to break free from the chains of OCD.
