Expressive Arts Therapist & Counsellor

Hi, I'm Nettie, welcome to my website. I offer 1-1 in person Counselling and/or Expressive Arts Therapy using a variety of creative media. Using art as a therapeutic tool can aid self expression without having to rely on words alone.

I also practice counselling; talking therapy without the use of art. Neither approach is better than the other; it’s down to personal preference and what feels right for the client.

In my work I draw on transpersonal psychology, Gestalt therapy, client centred therapy and my own intuition. I'm also a Therapeutic Writing Facilitator.

What I offer

If you are suffering in your life, feeling stuck, bereaved, battling with addiction, relationship problems, depression, low self esteem, neurodiversity, mental, or physical illness, or any of the myriad of problems human beings can face, arts counselling can help. I can help you explore your thoughts and emotions in a supportive environment providing a non judgmental space for you to grow and rebalance. I'm mature, open, warm, curious and empathetic.

In the past I've worked on a psychiatric ward, a mental health day centre, and 1-1 in a homeless hub. I have a special interest, but not limited interest, in mood disorders.

I work from a quiet room in my home in Bury Village, West Sussex.
