Stories
Below are some pictures and words that show some of the different art work, therapy work and creative projects I have been involved in.
Art Therapy with children and adults
‘Drawing released some of my worries about what I was saying and instead I found myself talking more openly. Looking at what I had drawn became part of the therapy too and it was incredibly useful.’

Talking Therapy in person or online via Zoom
-
Group work
‘I found talking about my feelings in a group strange at first but Rachel helped me to feel safe and then I really enjoyed being listened to and everyone in the group learnt to help each other.’
‘I had never participated in group therapy before this. I have issues with anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Ray created a supportive environment. In time I felt able to share some of my thoughts and feelings that I was not, at the start, willing to do. I found it very powerful to know that I was not alone in some of my experiences.’
