Expressive Arts Therapist & Counsellor

IMG_0155.jpeg

Hi, I'm Nettie, welcome to my website. I offer 1-1 expressive art therapy and/or
counselling (talking therapy without the use of art). In art therapy various art media is used; paint, chalk pastels, clay, collage, etc to aid self expression without having to rely on words alone. In counselling the client speaks in confidence about what is causing them stress and unhappiness. .In both cases (expressive arts or counselling) the therapist will endeavour to help the client look within themselves for ways in which to move forward. 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, client centred therapy and my own intuition. I believe that people have within them the means to improve their lives and heal themselves, and that it is my job to provide a safe, trusting, and non judgmental environment to help them achieve this.

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.
