The Art Therapy Space

20/01/2026

-Wilton, Cork based weekend private practice -

I am delighted to share that the weekend Art Therapy Space, Wilton, Cork has been a fantastic success. This is due to the fact it enables parents, young people and students to arrange a suitable time to attend without conflicting with work or term time College/school commitments.

This unique professional Weekend service (both Saturdays and Sundays), has once again resumed for 2026, - based in Wilton, Cork ( Est 2019 )
*Please be so good as to consider passing on this email to parents , Students professional networks or friends seeking therapeutic support for 2nd and 3rd level students

As an ex-student from both UCC and MTU, I am more than aware how the modern world can bring up all types of concerns and challenges in the mindset, in addition to the stresses and strains of academic life with forthcoming exams, end of year assignments.

My private therapeutic practice specialises utilising a mixture of creative processes and talk therapy to help, understand, deconstruct feelings, thoughts, triggers, and helps to build coping skills, self- esteem, self -reliance and confidence.

NB , - Students do not need to be in distress to come to therapy as, - just to check in with oneself in terms of transitions and wellness can be very enriching in a person’s life

This professional therapeutic service specializes in supporting students. Art therapy is a highly specialized form of therapy that adds a powerful conduit and medium for people to work through thoughts, emotions and feelings.

There is absolutely no need to be good at art in any way.

The sessions are a mixture of creative and talk therapy facilitated by Senior art therapist who holds a master's degree and is a first-class honours recipient from the MTU. A professional registered art therapist is one who has trained to a master's degree level (level 9) that integrates the theory
NB . I am also a Neurodiversity affirming practitioner which provides therapeutic support for people of all ages on the autistic spectrum. I am also registered on the neurodevelopmental spectrum which in turn can be extremely empowering for clients in working with somebody who really understands the journey .

Young people also do not need to be in distress in attending art therapy, similar to adults - just to check in with oneself in terms of wellness can be very enriching in a young person's life too.
