Hi, I’m Lisa,
Creative arts therapy practitioner aka big believer in the healing power of meaning-making, creativity, and supportive relationships.
If you have found yourself drawn to my website, thanks for visiting.
I wonder if you looking for a space to unwind creatively? A place to be completely yourself and learn more about how to connect to your creativity and purpose? A place to find out who you are amongst the chaos of a life well lived? If so…
Welcome to my services - Transpersonal Art Therapy & Creative support work
My path into this work has been both professional and personal. I’ve lived through crisis & recovery journeys, identity rebuilding, and navigating systems that don’t always understand complex experiences. These lived experiences shape how I work: gently, respectfully, and without pathologising people’s stories.
Professionally, I bring together trauma-informed practice, expressive arts, psychosocial disability support, neurodiversity frameworks, and relational skills. Personally, I bring curiosity, humour, compassion, and a love of creative exploration.
Outside work you’ll usually find me: - Road tripping - Op shopping for treasures - Reading anything from neuroscience to spirituality to memoir - Investing in my own growth through supervision, therapy, and ongoing professional development as I believe practitioners need to do their own reflective work too — it keeps us grounded and human.
Please feel free to send me a hello via the contact page if you have any questions and book here for an initial session with me.
