About Sarah
“Art is the meeting ground of the world inside and the world outside.”
Elinor Ulman — Pioneer Art Therapist
I am a trained art therapist and associate member of BAAT: British Association of Art Therapists.
My identity as an art therapist is shaped by a background in art and design, and rooted in a spirit of curiosity and exploration. I have a particular interest in materiality — how the qualities of different materials, and the ways we interact with them, can provide a language for communication.
I have professional experience across the creative, educational and charitable sectors, and have worked with people of different ages, backgrounds and cultures.
My practice is grounded in a humanistic ethos, focusing on individual experience, personal meaning, agency and the capacity for growth. I consider confidentiality fundamental to building a trusting therapeutic relationship.
