My Approach

Arts Psychotherapy
The arts are an alternative approach to traditional talking therapy & can provide a deeper insight when it is hard to find the words for your experiences and feelings. In my sessions, the seven art forms are available for you; Art, Sand-play, Music, Bodywork / Movement, Poetry, Sculpture / Clay, Drama / Puppetry. To help familiarise yourself with art materials, I will gently guide you to different media to find the most fitting way to explore your inner & outer world. No previous experience or artistic skill with the arts are needed.

Sex-positive therapy
In additional to my art psychotherapy approach, I also provide sex-positive therapy & work with sexual problems. Using a bio-psycho-social theoretical model, I can provide supportive therapeutic interventions to the following areas; Gender, Sexual & Relationship Diversity (GSRD), Queer sex, Kink, Fetish and BDSM practices (RACK informed) I can also combine my art psychotherapy practice to provide artistic ways to explore the above areas.

I have availability to take on NUM funded therapy packages for sex workers (6 funded sessions). For more information visit the National Ugly Mugs website and contact the casework team.

About Me

My name is Dawn (she / they) & I am a social activist art therapist providing arts psychotherapy & sex positive therapy to adults in West & South West London.
At the heart of my therapeutic work, I am grounded in integrative & humanistic theoretical approaches & a trauma-informed lens. I specialise with individuals with complex presentations & trauma. The majority of my work is with marginalised & stigmatised individuals / communities (forensic mental health, LGBTIA+ & sex
workers). My aim for your therapy is to co-create a space where you can be your authentic self, feeling seen, heard & understood - no matter the issue or theme you bring.
