Therapy for creatives

Whether online or in-person, I provide individual therapy specifically tailored to artists and those working within the creative industries. With over 18 years of music industry experience, I understand the unique complexities and challenges of the creative industries that are often difficult to navigate. Together, we will increase your awareness of ingrained patterns and behaviours, helping you process overwhelming emotions in a new way. Our goal is to build a practical toolkit that empowers you to find joy in your creative work once again. I also offer working with teams of creatives after a communication breakdown, as well as offering workshops for creative companies’ employees.

Here are some more examples of topics I can support you with:

• Stress (e.g. touring, external pressures, financial issues, constant availability)

• Performance Anxiety and any other anxieties (i.e. general anxiety, social and performance anxiety, health anxiety, obsessive worries, panic, phobias, PTSD, trauma)

• Imposter Syndrome, dealing with external evaluation and pressure

• Burnout prevention, time management, and dealing with loneliness

• Low mood and depressive episodes

• Relationship issues, i.e. due to leading a different life and the consequences of blurring private and professional life
