ABOUT ME

Hey! I'm Kayleigh.

Art Therapist,

Arts Facilitator

& Artist.

So, a little about me... (the nuts and bolts stuff first)


I'm a HCPC registered Art Therapist, Art Facilitator & Artist based in Birmingham. My pronouns are she/ her. 


I work online and face to face with themes including childhood abuse, abuse, trauma, complex trauma, domestic violence and abuse, depression, anxiety,  GSRD (Gender, Sex & Relationship Diversity), neurodivergence, learning difficulties, displacement, racism and classism.


As an artist and art therapist I use art materials to explore expression, thoughts, feelings and different ways of communication, both verbal and nonverbal.


I graduated from the University of Hertfordshire in 2020 with a masters in Art Therapy.


Just to add too...


I am an Art Therapist with lived experience in mental health and I'm neurodivergent. So I understand how tricky it can be with trying to figure ourselves out and 'just being' in various environments too. 



...and now the other stuff...


As you can imagine, I'm a HUGE fan ofthe arts.

I am also an avid traveller! You can usually find me in a gallery, museum, live music event or exploring a town, city or country somewhere, taking in the cultures, sampling the foods, snapping the architecture and landscapes whilst sipping a coffee and eating chocolate...lots of chocolate!
