Hi, I'm Dan, and I'm a fully trained and accredited, practicing Art Psychotherapist based in Worcestershire, offering online art therapy to anyone in the UK.
I have full member accreditation with the British Association of Arts Therapists (BAAT), and am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, meaning I must adhere to the highest standards of practice and ethics for my profession. If you have any further queries about my education, training or practice, please feel free to get in touch, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have!
I've loved art my whole life, and got my degree in illustration with ambitions of working in children's books, concept art and comics; but my interest in mental health took me down a different path...
When I found out there was a profession that could combine my passion for art with my fascination of the human mind and desire to help others, I knew I'd found my calling- I achieved my Master's degree in Art Psychotherapy from the University of South Wales, and am now a fully qualified and practicing NHS Art Psychotherapist, offering online Art Therapy through private practice for anyone interested in this powerful, effective approach.
I provide a warm, human and authentic approach that is trauma-informed and person-centred, using principles from evidence-based psychological models such as Mentalisation Based Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Compassion Focused Therapy to help inform and develop Art Psychotherapy interventions that are specific to the client's needs. I believe that offering online art therapy allows these interventions to become even more tailored to the client, allowing them the freedom to work from the comfort of their own safe space.
From brief interventions to longer term work, I offer a safe and compassionate online art therapy experience, helping clients explore issues such as identity, self-esteem, feelings of guilt and shame, low mood; depression; anxiety; trauma; and forming and maintaining relationships. I also have a special interest in incorporating popular culture into bespoke, purposeful art therapy interventions, which you can find out more about here.
