Through Art Therapy, I support individuals and groups of adults and children, regardless of previous art making experience, to express themselves through the language of their own unique creativity.
In an age of uncertainty, Art Therapy offers a rare opportunity for self-exploration, self-reflection and self-empowerment, within the safety of non-judgemental therapeutic boundaries. I am based in my home studio in Co. Clare where I deliver one to one sessions, small group sessions and weekend retreats. Zoom sessions are available. Programmes and workshops are available for groups in corporate, educational, health and criminal justice settings, in Clare and Limerick.

About
A varied and colourful journey on life’s rollercoaster has brought me to my eclectic current practice as a Visual Artist, Art Therapist and Creative Supervisor.
Inspired by the creative freedom I experienced growing up in the 1960’s I painted my way through childhood, innocently tapping into what I have now come to see as the fountain of emotional support that is offered to us by the Arts.

SERVICES
I have worked in the public and private sectors with adults and children individually and in groups. My sessions can be adapted to the particular needs of anybody who is open to accessing the benefits of creativity in order to support themselves, their friends, family members, clients and staff. My approach is inclusive, non-judgmental, compassion-centred, trauma-informed and recovery focused.
The aim of my service is to support people to feel empowered to use art materials to express their creativity regardless of previous skill or experience. By using the non-verbal unconscious language of their imagination, participants can connect with a hidden store of tools with which to enhance their well-being. This is an opportunity for personal growth whilst having fun, relating to others and creating unique works of art.
I offer general Art Therapy sessions to individuals and groups, in my private practice in Co. Clare and in other locations in the surrounding counties. My themed sessions include ‘The Art of wellness’, ‘ The Art of memory’ and ‘the Art of Recovery’. Click the button below to learn about these sessions in more detail.

FAQs
WHO IS ART THERAPY FOR?
Art Therapy is a unique form of psychotherapy that works with each client’s individual creative expression as a means of exploring, understanding and resolving emotional challenges. Integral to Art Therapy is a client-centred approach which makes it suitable for adults and children of all ages and abilities.
Art Therapy is a holistic mental health intervention that can provide insight, self-empowerment, healing and recovery in areas such as trauma, bereavement, addiction, depression and anxiety.
DO I NEED TO BE GOOD AT ART?
No. There is no expectation of skill or artistic standards within Art Therapy, every creative expression is of equal value. Picasso said: “All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once they grow up”. We are all born with an impulse to create. Even if we never use this impulse it is always there for us to call upon.
The writer and story-teller Clarissa Pinkola-Estes, likened the under used creative impulse to a smouldering fire that awaits to be fanned into flames. Art Therapy provides the safe containment where those flames of individuality can be ignited.
