What is Drawing Comfort?

​​Looking to improve your emotional wellbeing? Concerned about your child or teenager? Interested in exploring an alternative to traditional talking therapy? I’m here to help.

​

I use a gentle, creative approach to emotional support through Drawing and Talking, and for younger participants, Sand Play.

​​

Both approaches provide a calm and nurturing space where there is no expectation to discuss painful past experiences or fears about the future.

​

Instead, over a series of twelve weekly sessions, participants are invited to create a simple pencil drawing or a small ‘sand world’ of their choice.

​

Together, we explore the story within their creation – with

curiosity and without judgement.​​​

​

Along with weekly wellbeing strategies to use between sessions, participants develop greater self-understanding, gently build confidence, resilience, and emotional balance over time.​​​​​​​​​​​​

​

I've supported people who are experiencing:

  • Being a carer

  • Separation or divorce

  • The loss of a loved one

  • Being in foster care or adopted

  • Peri-menopause or the menopause

  • Having additional educational needs

  • Low mood, anxiety, low self-esteem

  • Challenges with attending school or college

  • The effect of domestic abuse within the home

  • Ongoing or life-limiting illness (personal, family member or friend)

By focusing on expression rather than explanation, both children and adults can begin to process unspoken emotions.

Each person’s situation is unique – my role is to provide a calm, supportive space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely and at a comfortable pace that works for you.
