I’m Keren, I’m a HCPC Registered Art Psychotherapist and a member of the British Association of Art Psychotherapists (BAAT). As an Art Therapist, I have worked in the Charity and Education sectors with children and adults in individual and group settings. With children I have specifically worked with them on the issues of peer relationship difficulties, bereavement, trauma, neurodiversity and learning disabilities. With adults in both individual and group settings, I have worked with clients across the issues of depression, isolation, parenting, complex family relationships, bereavement, trauma and it’s impact and learning disabilities. For me, art making or creative making can play a fundamental role in non-verbal processing and communication which alongside the therapeutic relationship can provide a valuable tool for developing self-knowledge. I provide a confidential and creative therapeutic space giving freedom for children and adults to experiment with a wide variety of art and craft-based materials, allowing sensitive and challenging issues to emerge, be thought about together and held.
My approach is client-led and psychodynamic while incorporating other psychological perspectives to meet individual needs. No pre-existing artistic skills are needed for you to choose Art Psychotherapy for yourself, couple, family or a child, just an openness to what can emerge through the non-cognitive.
In my experience, making art or experimenting with creative materials can bring profound learning about the self. I have worked with children and adults in the U.K and overseas who have experienced significant levels of adverse experience and who have been from varying nationalities, heritage, sexual orientation, learning disabilities and religious backgrounds.
