I am proud to offer creative therapy and grief recovery support for adults, children and young people across Flintshire and surrounding areas.
Having worked within a number of secondary schools, I support young people experiencing:
• EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance)
• Anxiety and low mood
• Trauma
• Bereavement and grief
• Emotional regulation difficulties
• School engagement challenges
My approach is trauma-informed, relationship-based and centred around creating a safe, supportive space where young people feel heard and understood.

🎨 Creative therapeutic art
✍️ Creative writing
📔 Feelings and thoughts journals
🧘 Meditation and grounding techniques
🎯 Small goal setting

Creative approaches can provide powerful tools for expression when words feel difficult.
I offer 1:1 and small group interventions and work collaboratively with schools and social services to ensure tailored, meaningful support.

Despite being only 35, I’ve had a breadth of life experience. Sometimes we have to hit rock bottom to find the strength to swim back to the top. I’ve worked with children and young people for many years and have run my own business for over five, delivering grief work and creative therapies in schools and community settings. Every environment has deepened my respect for the incredible resilience young people show, often in the face of enormous pressure. Growing up in today’s society is far from easy—peer pressure, friendship challenges, and the academic demands placed on them can feel overwhelming, particularly for those who are neurodivergent. Yet time and again, I see their courage, creativity, and capacity to recover shine through, reminding me why this work matters so deeply.

🌱 Grief isn’t something to “get over.”
It’s a natural and normal response to loss. Yet so many of us are left feeling stuck, weighed down by unspoken words, unmet hopes, or unresolved pain.

The Grief Recovery Method® is not counselling or therapy—it’s an evidence-based program that gives you the tools to move beyond the pain of loss. It offers a safe, structured way to explore your emotions, let go of what feels unfinished, and rediscover a sense of peace and hope.

💬 If you’ve experienced:
✨ the death of a loved one
✨ divorce or relationship breakdown
✨ loss of health, trust, or safety
✨ any major life change that left you grieving

…you don’t have to face it alone.

🌟 Healing is possible. Taking the first step is a brave choice—you deserve support, understanding, and a path forward.

📩 Message me to learn more about how the Grief Recovery Method® could help you.

Good Luck to all the pupils I’ve worked with this year, I hope you get the GCSE results you want. But if you don’t, remember that’s also OK too!

Creative therapy gives the mind a language beyond words — where paintbrushes, poems, music, and movement help untangle what can’t always be spoken. Healing doesn’t always start with talking… sometimes it begins with creating.” 🎨🧠💛

🌀 What is Creative Therapy? 🎨🧠
You might have heard the term, but what does it actually mean?

Creative Therapy is a powerful, supportive way of exploring your emotions, experiences, and thoughts — but instead of relying on words alone, it invites you to create. This can be through art, music, movement, writing, or other creative processes.

It’s not about being “good” at art or making something perfect. In fact, there’s no right or wrong way to express yourself in creative therapy. It’s about giving your inner world a safe space to speak, especially when words feel too hard or not enough.

✨ It can help with:
– Grief and loss
– Anxiety and overwhelm
– Emotional expression
– Building confidence and self-awareness
– Grounding and regulation

Whether you’re navigating something big or just needing a gentle outlet, creative therapy can offer healing through expression and connection.
