About Simon

Simon - your art therapist

I am an HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) registered Art Psychotherapist and BAAT (British Association of Art Therapists) accredited private practitioner.

As well as achieving an MA in Art Psychotherapy I have undergone extensive training in nature-based therapies. My professional development also includes working with trauma, compassion-focused therapy and neurodiversity.

I have been an associate lecturer at Roehampton University on the Art Psychotherapy training programme and through my private practice I have provided personal art therapy to trainee art therapists.

I have provided outdoor art therapy on an educational farm with young people with complex emotional trauma and forensics histories. I have also worked within therapeutic care homes facilitating indoor art therapy to looked-after children. 
I ran a group for New Dads for a family well-being organization.
More recently,  I was commissioned by a national organisation to provide art therapy to young people who had experienced domestic abuse.

My  current work has included indoor art therapy within primary and secondary schools and private individual outdoor art therapy to a range of clients and ages. 

I have just published an illustrated book of poetry entitled 'Natural Hysteria'.
 It is written in a light-hearted style whilst exploring deeper environmental issues. Twenty-five percent of the profits go to the environmental charity, Client Earth.
