Kit is a Counsellor and Arts Psychotherapist.  Kit is passionate about the power of creativity to support people to heal and grow. Whilst talk therapy is powerful, it is not the best approach for everyone. It can be difficult for some people to tell their story in words. Creative approaches can be used to explore the things that bother people as well as their goals.  This can assist people to explore new information which cannot be discovered through words alone.

The kind of creativity employed in therapy is different for every person, depending on where they’re at and what they feel comfortable with. Therapy is a creative journey. Exploration may take us from image making, into the body, role playing and even creating in 3D. Kit’s evidence based practice is based largely on ACT and Gestalt Therapy, focusing on Person Centred Therapy. The participant always leads the way.

Beyond her qualifications in Art Therapy and Counselling, Kit also holds a Bachelor Degree in Psychological Sciences. 

In her personal time, Kit enjoys being a creator – a writer, painter, drawer and more! She has a deep love of nature.
