Hello, I'm SJ
Welcome, I am a qualified Counsellor, Supervisor and Artistic Creator.
I therapeutically support adults and young people in counselling and clinical supervision. I also offer support sessions using art and creativity as a way of accessing emotions and feelings that might be hard to speak about. I also have a passion for sound, and trained as a sound therapist in 2012, using sound for relaxation, and restoration.
Additionally, I offer therapeutic groups and workshops, using creativity as a tool for enjoyment and building confidence in your self and what can be achieved using different mediums. I have a particular love for pottery and ceramics and nature, and often bring these elements into my work.
I have further training and experience in working with adults and children, GSRD therapy clients of diverse genders, sexualities, identities, relationships, lifestyles & practices, offering a relatable, and affirming support to everyone.

AMANDA
Sound Retreat Day
I didn't really know what I was expecting, but what I discovered was complete rest and relaxation. My mind switched off and I just melted into the floor. The gong SJ uses is amazing and creates space to fully present and chilled out!
LOTTIE
ADULT COUNSELLING
I have been working with Sj for just under a year, they have supported me to take steps that I didn't think were possible, my confidence has really grown in this time. We did the sessions combining being creative and talking. This has helped me understand my inner world better for sure.
TIM
LGBTQ creative group
I needed connection to talk to others that wouldn't judge me. Sj and the others gave me a space to express how I fell about my gender in a creative way and this has helped me make sense of my feelings and just be me!
