About Me

I’m Keren, I’m a HCPC Registered Art Psychotherapist and a member of the British Association of Art Psychotherapists (BAAT).

As an Art Therapist, I have worked in the Charity and Education sectors with children and adults in individual and group settings. With children I have specifically worked with them on the issues of depression, anxiety, peer relationship difficulties, bereavement, domestic and sexual trauma, neurodiversity and learning disabilities. With adults I have worked with them across the issues of depression, isolation, parenting, complex family relationships, bereavement, domestic and sexual trauma and its impact and with learning disabilities.

I have worked with children and adults in the U.K and overseas of varying nationalities, heritage, sexual orientation, learning disabilities and religious backgrounds. I also keep a practice as a Multi-Disciplinary Artist and working as an Art Facilitator in a wide range of settings.

For me, art making or creative making can play a fundamental role in non-verbal processing and communication which alongside the therapeutic relationship can provide a valuable tool for developing self-knowledge.

I provide a confidential and creative therapeutic space giving freedom for children and adults to experiment with a wide variety of natural and synthetic art and craft-based materials, allowing sensitive and challenging issues to emerge, be thought about together and held.

My approach is client-led and psychodynamic while incorporating other psychological perspectives to meet individual needs. No pre-existing artistic skills are needed for you to choose Art Psychotherapy for yourself, couple, family or a child, just an openness to what can emerge through the non-cognitive and the visual.
