About Me
I’m Keren, I’m a HCPC Registered Art Psychotherapist and a member of the British Association of Art Psychotherapists (BAAT). My professional background includes work across Education and Health Programming as well as keeping a practice as a Multi-Disciplinary Artist and working as an Art Facilitator in a wide range of settings.
I work and have worked with children and adults in the U.K and overseas of varying nationalities, heritage, sexual orientation, learning disabilities and religious backgrounds.
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, domestic and sexual trauma, neurodiversity and learning disabilities. With adults I have worked with them across the issues of depression, isolation, parenting, complex family relationships, bereavement, domestic and sexual trauma and its impact and with 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 natural and synthetic 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 and the visual.
