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, solution-focused therapy and neurodiversity.


I currently work privately with adults with a range of issues including ADHD. I also provide personal therapy to trainee art therapists - many of which go on to use my supervision services. Since being in Frome, I have designed and co-facilitated wild clay art therapy workshops and individual programmes.


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 worked within therapeutic care homes facilitating indoor art therapy to looked-after children. 


Up until 2023 I provided art therapy for a national organisation supporting young people who had experienced domestic abuse.


I have provided indoor art therapy within primary and secondary schools and private individual outdoor art therapy to a range of clients and ages. 


Frome 2017 to 2020 I  provided outdoor art therapy on an educational farm with young people with complex emotional trauma and forensics histories. It was here that I developed my wild clay therapy. You can read more about this project in the Journal of Applied Arts in Health:
