PhD, MA, REAT

MA · 24 years experience

My integrative approach to Expressive Arts Therapy is grounded in over 25 years of experience in visual arts and drama therapy, complemented by formal qualifications in Yoga Therapy and a PhD in Adult Education (Lesley University). Having lived and worked in the Asia Pacific region for three decades, I bring a deep multicultural sensitivity and specialised expertise in the complexities of migration. I take a client-centered approach that values the unique experiences of each individual, integrating creativity to support and empower their well-being. I work with individuals, families, and organizations across healthcare and education sectors, designing tailored programs that address humanitarian, systemic, and corporate needs. In recent years, I have offered supervision for arts therapists, training and support for caregivers, and consultation for companies developing digital tools to support mental health and well-being.
