Angela Smith

Trauma-informed, psychodynamic art psychotherapy. Sessions offered are in person, outdoors or online. I enjoy collaborating with clients to develop a setting and method and pace for working together towards a client\'s own goals. Image-making and talking in the therapy setting can help to identify patterns and make sense of our experiences. Developing our own narratives for our experience can be rewarding and empowering for making changes. If desired, I can support clients to develop calming and self-soothing practices to support on-going well-being and self-regulation. Working outdoors may be part of this for some. Clients may make use of found, natural materials alongside a range of creative materials which I provide. Regarding Supervision: I invite and encourage image-making within sessions as well as reviewing clients\' art work. I make use of various supervision models to support my practice as necessary and am supported by regular supervision and ongoing CPD practices.
