Hello! Thank you for visiting my site. I'm Beth (or Bessie), a HCPC registered Art Psychotherapist and creative practitioner.
I offer art psychotherapy and creative art sessions for children, young people, and adults. My therapy work is person centred & trauma-informed, and provides a safe, supportive space where emotions and experiences can be explored through both art-making and conversation, at a pace that feels right for each individual. No previous art experience is needed.
Alongside therapeutic work, I also run creative sessions, clubs, and workshops that encourage self-expression, confidence, and enjoyment of the creative process. I work ethically and transparently, with a clear distinction between art therapy and creative practice.
Please feel free to explore my website for examples of my work, students' work, upcoming events, art parties and ways to get in touch.

"Highly recommend. Our eldest loves to go to the holiday art club, and so much so, we had an art party for her birthday. All the kids loved it. There’s a lot for them to do and some wonderful artwork created. Thanks Beth!" - Eilis
"We had the pleasure of Hosting Beth for a corporate mindful art session to celebrate International Women's Day and we cannot shout about how amazing the session was our people involved all came out feeling refreshed and took away an amazing piece of art i am still getting feedback now on how great the session was!" - Sky TV, Stockport (Liam)
Beth came and did an event for the staff at The Manchester Metropolitan Business School and we loved every second of it! It provided a much-needed stress relief from marking and everyone had so much fun. It's a great way to bring people together and the best part is - there's no artistic talent needed! - Sarah
