Online Art Psychotherapy

Reflective, creative, and accessible therapy from your own space—wherever you are in the UK.

Finding Depth at Distance

There are times when coming to therapy in person simply isn’t possible — distance, health, or life’s demands make it difficult. And yet, the call to engage more deeply with yourself remains.

​

Online Art Psychotherapy offers a way to respond to that call from the space you inhabit — not as a compromise, but as a continuation of the therapeutic relationship, grounded in presence and intention.

​

You might choose online sessions if:

​

  • You live too far away to travel regularly to Newport or Abergavenny

​

  • Your personal circumstances limit access to a therapy space

​

  • Time and cost make regular travel impractical

​

  • You feel more at ease working from your own environment

Ways of Working Together

Therapy can take many forms — what matters is how it supports your process. Together, we can choose an arrangement that honours your needs and commitments:

​

  • In-person sessions only

​

  • Mostly in person, with occasional online meetings when necessary

​

  • Entirely online, meeting via video from your own space

​

  • A blend of online and in-person sessions, shaped to suit you

​

Each format invites its own rhythm. We begin with a shared understanding of how we’ll meet, and revisit this if changes arise. Even with flexibility, the therapy asks for a quality of consistency and care — a responsibility that we both hold.

Frequency and Duration

The pace and depth of therapy is something we discover together.

​

  • Open-ended work allows for slow unfolding — a space where deeper themes can emerge, take shape, and be worked through over time.

​

  • Short-term therapy may offer focus, clarity, or support around a specific life event or difficulty.

​

  • Weekly sessions (3+ per month) provide the greatest continuity, and I can offer a discounted rate to support this.

What You'll Need

To create a space where the therapy can thrive, a few things are essential for online sessions:

​

  • You’re in a private space, without others present or able to overhear

​

  • Reliable video connection, with camera on and good visibility—I cannot offer sessions by audio only

​

  • Art materials available, and a surface to use them safely near your device

​

  • A computer or tablet (mobile phones can feel limiting)

​

  • A stable head-and-shoulders view, to help us feel present to one another

​

  • No recording of the session by either of us

​

  • A willingness to make the session the sole focus of your attention

​

If, after discussion, we find online therapy isn’t the right fit, I can help you consider alternatives.

Making a Beginning

We start with an initial consultation — a space to talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, and whether we feel we can work well together. If you are considering the possibility of any in person sessions, this meeting will need to take place at my practice in Newport or Abergavenny.

​

You can learn more about my approach to therapy, or return to the main psychotherapy page for an overview.

Contacting me - If you would like to arrange an initial consultation, have a brief conversation on the phone first (free of charge), or have any questions, you are welcome to get in touch using the contact form or email which can be found at foot of each page on this website.
