Hello 👋

I’ve been rather quiet on here recently whilst I’ve been busy in the background setting up the new Art Psychotherapy Space 🎨 I currently have some capacity to take on new referrals and projects

Please feel free to get in touch if your or your child are currently looking for a therapist to help you/them feel less stuck or overwhelmed

I had the pleasure of attending my first BAAT Annual Conference, such an enriching day being surrounded by other art therapists (the day definitely confirmed we are the best dressed profession 😍), was lovely to see familiar faces and meet new colleagues, a treat of presentations that brought lots of inspiration and pride for our community as art therapists, as well as the amazing artist talk by Jason Wildher-Mills and his moving exhibition ✨

Saturday I attended the Winter meet up for @region10baat which was facilitated by @pennycollinsonsomaticmovement therapist,

What an insightful way to check in via movement & touch; such powerful experience of working this way which were then reflected further through image making 😍

Reflective piece following on from kind prompts of free association writing, a form of journaling, pulling out words/themes & caption the essence in a couple of sentences. Followed by a pull to create a visual for the words ✨

✨A recent visit to London to see Sarah Lucas Happy Gas exhibition ✨ A playful and humorous collection of work exploring ‘what it means to be human’

✨ Another messy art material that’s in my art therapy tool box for my clients to find ways to be expressive, compassionate and create more awareness through guided art making ✨

🎃 Happy Halloween 🎃

With Halloween on everyone’s minds I’ve found slime creeping it’s way into many of my sessions!

✨ It’s a lovely playful way to come together, to explore lots of sensory input within the art therapy space. Ive privileged to see both adults and children take brave steps in exploring messy through slime, moving to a place of empowerment and resiliency ✨

🍁Autumn 🍂 A time to reflect on the year so far, thinking of the recent personal & professional changes that have taken place over the last few months. Have you had time to reflect on what a change of season means for you?

No longer art therapy by my beloved bike, instead of panniers bursting to the seams with art supplies, I now have a car boot full of even more art supplies! 🥰
I left a role working with a client group that were inspiring in so many ways to start a new role with a company I am so proud to be part of. ✨
I have also become one of the coordinators for BAAT region 10 which I am equally as excited to be on this new adventure! 🎨

Changes, are both exciting and daunting, breath, find your own pace

New book day! ✨🙌✨A lovely book made by a fellow art therapist for adoptive children. I am looking forward to taking this into sessions with my clients to reflection on life journeys that can cause shame and loss of identity. @nikkilinfieldatpst @buckethatbee

Following the easter break, it’s been a week full of coming back together with previous clients & meeting with new ; moving towards reconnecting & forming new connections ✨
What a precious thing to experience 💫

This week in art studio at @turningpoint_uk, our service users spent time making a beautiful window display to celebrate the end of Ramadan and to welcome Eid 🌙☪️ Those beautiful colours 😍✨

Yesterday was world book day 📚 so many of you shared what books have moved you in some way, it was such a joy to discover more books together,

Here’s a book I read during the last few months of my training, it’s a book that made me stop, sit, reflect and digest all the compelling aspects of childhood & society, whilst sipping lots of teas under blankets✨🧡✨

Yesterday, I asked you guys what colour your day felt like! A lot of you shared it was a warm colour sort of day, the most popular being orange & purple!
At the end of my day, I sat down to reflect on the same question and explored this by using many different shades of Green! As I created I noticed the greens had movement to them, very much like my day. I also noticed some shades were bigger then others, just like how some areas of work had filled my day more then others, and some had overlapped in a smooth complimentary kinda a way just like the pastel marks! So, here’s to a green Wednesday 🌱🍀🌿

Hi
I’m Chloé, I’m an art therapist,
I work with a range of people from children to adults in West Yorkshire & greater Manchester area,
Through using art materials, we strengthen inner resilience, make new discoveries and heal old wounds.
This tends to look like lots of paints, paper, glitter, clay, pastels, collaging, sometimes slime and much more!
