For those who are feeling the changes within and around during an extraordinary time in our lives- you will find a way back to yourself. Find time to create, share, reflecting, but of must importance now is community. Do all this in community. ✨️

I COME BACK TO MYSELF SLOWLY

I come back to myself slowly
I have been away for a time
To another part of my self
I do not want to be at all-
It is the part of Despair and Fear and Loss of Hope
And guilt over my own unworthiness-
I have come back to myself a bit
I am sort of alright
There is not around me all this weight and cloud and all this heavy dragging me down-
I am calmer now.

I say I am coming back to my better self
I hope so
I do feel better-
But I know Life and the Other Self wait for me and will find me again-
Up and down, over and out, all around
The human being is a succession of his own continually conflicting selves.

I have been away for a time

Just over 2 years since it all started in one of my favourite buildings in Qatar🥰❤Qatar Arts Centre- back here for the last few Mondays facilitating a small intimate Therapeutic ART group.
It's been a while since in person sessions and not business building/hustling.
Watch to the end for highlights of this beautiful building 💫
Feeling myself again 😊

Telehealth/ Online Therapy

Online art therapy isn’t just drawing. It’s reflection, conversation, and evidence-based practice.

I’ve been offering online sessions since before 2013 and with children since 2014.
Now also integrating Brainspotting for deeper processing and nervous system regulation.
Flexible. Confidential. Effective for adults, teens, and older children.
