I’m Julia, an experienced HCPC and MBACP registered art psychotherapist based in London. Art therapy offers an alternative to talking therapies, where art making is used in combination with talking. I provide a safe and non-judgemental space where my clients can use art materials to support a better understanding of themselves.

As a psychodynamically oriented therapist, the use of art materials is used in combination with talking in order to express unconscious thoughts and emotions. I aim to help you discover meaning of current distress or patterns of behaviour which you may be finding difficult through the artwork you create and its association to past relationships and experiences. 

The use of artwork in therapy may help bring to light feelings and memories which are hard to reach because they are difficult to verbalise. The nonverbal nature of art therapy makes it accessible to those with difficulty expressing their emotions or who would like a different way of looking at things.
