About Masterpiece & Co. Expressive Arts Therapy
Expressive Arts Psychotherapy/Counselling Services
My practice provides support for adult individuals, families and community groups.
I offer my professional experience and my authentic humanness to healing and recovery with genuine empathy and a safe judgement-free environment. As we walk together to the edges of your unknown, all emotions are welcomed while you are empowered to follow your journey to healing health & wholeness. Expressive Arts Psychotherapy has helped participants to repair and strengthen social / relationship connections, support times of transition such as separation/divorce, work through developmental/interpersonal trauma experiences and help acknowledge, validate and be with our shadow selves. I have experience using expressive arts psychotherapy to support those suffering from grief & loss, low self-esteem, poor body image, and identity/gender/sexuality challenges, and I have worked alongside those suffering from religious abuse.
My Practice is spiritually/culturally and is LBGTQIA+ sensitive.
What Is Expressive Arts Therapy
Expressive Arts Psychotherapy is a trauma-informed, and humanistic participant-led practice that does not require art-making skills. Together we focus on the process and not the finished product, exploring the non-conscious self as an invitation to journey together to help restore, process and integrate lived experiences to promote healing and to rewire the brain through neuroplasticity to foster positive change.
My approach to expressive art therapy sessions will incorporate evidence-based practices such as Somatic Experiential Parts / Shadow Work, encouraging empowerment and Self-Compassion, befriending and reframing personal stories through Somatic Dance / Movement, and the use of Gestalt and Narrative reintegration techniques. (See individual online webinars for more details, Coming Soon)
Expressive Arts Therapy Approach
As an emerging arts therapist, I use a client-centred approach working collaboratively with participants to identify their goals and to develop a customised treatment plan. A strong emphasis is placed on building a trusting, safe, and supportive therapeutic relationship.
The expressive arts approach to therapy may incorporate somatic dance/movement, music/sound, therapeutic visual art-making and the power of play. Helping participants to access new insights and establish new ways of being to empower personal autonomy and evoke imagination that may help individuals work through personal challenges to promote physical and psychological well-being.

Personal BIO
I have personally lived experience as a trauma survivor of domestic violence
and have unfortunately met the depths of grief & loss of loved ones. It was during these life events that I was introduced to the life-enhancing potential of creative arts therapies and why I love being a part of a creative revolution in which art re-embodies lived experience. And why I love to share the creative practices as ways of knowing and being, helping individuals, families and communities to heal from trauma. People can become agents of themselves and begin to break unhealthy patterns of behaviour to strengthen and build healthier relationship dynamics that support social change.
