About Jess

I am an independent Art Psychotherapist working across the third sector and in private practice, and in research, which you can find our more about here.  I specialise in working with clay and working outdoors.

I currently manage the Art Psychotherapy provision in a supported living centre for adults with learning disabilities, and facilitate Arts-on-Referral groups for adults, and children and young people across Bristol as part of the city’s Social Prescribing initiative.

In my private practice, I offer in-person and online art psychotherapy for adults, children and young people, working with individuals, couples, families, and groups.  Sessions take place in a confidential, comfortable, private therapy room or outdoors in a dedicated natural space.

I also work with organisations, offering bespoke reflective and creative team-building workshops.

As a practicing Art Psychotherapist, I am registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a member of the British Association Of Art Therapists (BAAT).

My Experience

I have worked creatively and holistically with adults, families, children, and young people in a variety of settings for over 25 years.  These include in-patient NHS mental health care settings, perinatal and maternal health care, community settings, galleries and museums, outdoors, and in mainstream and special education.

I am committed to being diverse affirmative and anti-oppressive in my practice.
