Finding Yourself Through Creative Therapy: A Journey, Not a Fix

My commitment to you as a counsellor

As a counsellor offering creative therapy, I often reflect on who I am and what I bring to the people I work with. The words shared in a video by an unknown author have stayed with me and now form the foundation of my practice, because they remind me of a simple but powerful truth: you are not broken.

When you’re facing a mental health crisis, supporting a child or loved one, living with anxiety or depression, or feeling like life has fallen apart around you, it’s natural to wish for someone—or something-to fix it all. But here’s what I believe, and what creative therapy honours: you don't need fixing.

I truly understand how hard this can be to accept. I have been there myself. For many years, before I was diagnosed as multiply neurodivergent, I lived with a deep sense of brokenness. I devoured self-help books, searching for a way to "fix" what I thought was wrong with me.

Everything shifted when I received the missing pieces of my puzzle — a clear understanding of my neurodivergence. I realised I was never broken. I needed compassionate support to help untangle who I truly was and what I genuinely needed. And thankfully, I found a therapist who never once treated me as someone who needed fixing.

This is exactly how I now hold space for others.

As a creative and expressive therapist and someone offering talk therapy, my role is not to fix you. My role is to walk alongside you, gently holding the threads of your experiences, emotions, thoughts, and feelings as we explore and make sense of them together.

You are not broken. You never were.

Creative therapy isn't about changing who you are—it’s about reconnecting you to the strength, creativity, and resilience that have always been inside you.

"I will not rescue you, for you are not powerless.

I will not fix you, because you are not broken.

I will not heal you, for I see you in your wholeness.

I will walk with you in the darkness, as you remember the light".

With warmth,
