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.
