      <image:title>About me - Hey, I’m Laura Lou.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m an Art Psychotherapist, arts practitioner and project coordinator based in Sheffield. As an art therapist, I work with neurodivergent adults and young people aged 11-25 with Autism, ADHD and additional needs, who are experiencing anxiety, struggling to cope with the pressures of day to day life and school, the effects of possible trauma or who are coming to terms with a new diagnosis or life changes who may need social and emotional support and general mental health guidance. I provide one-to-one personal therapy face to face and remotely, and I facilitate both group art therapy and therapeutic arts workshops. I have over fifteen years experience in specialist and mainstream education, with third sector organisations, the NHS, BBC’s CBeebies, local businesses, independent galleries, Museums Sheffield and Arts Council funded community arts projects. If you are looking for someone to help support you or your child through challenging times I would love to hear from you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Art Therapy - About Art Therapy …</image:title>
      <image:caption>You don’t have to be ‘good at art’ to undertake art therapy! Art therapy is about self expression and an exploration of the things we often find hard to put into words. Whether you have an official diagnosis or just feel you need to work on something in particular, Art therapy can help you design strategies to cope, build confidence and self-esteem, develop your social and emotional skills, strengthen your sense of self and process any unresolved trauma. I work in a person centred way. This means I respond to what you bring to each session in a curious and respectful manner. This is not to say I may not gently challenge you in order to help you look at something from a different angle or gain a different perspective. The therapy space is a safe space to learn about yourself, your relationships, what’s important to you and how you relate with the world around you, not to mention having some fun and exploring your creative side! I have experience with a variety of mediums from paint to woodwork, sewing to metalwork, paper craft to clay. If you want to use a variety of materials to aid your therapy work, I can support you in doing so. What ever reason brings you to art therapy, I can ensure that it is a private and confidential process undertaken with kindness and compassion in a calm and secure space. Your journey could be deeply profound, sensorially satisfying or downright fun. Art therapy is here to support your needs.

      <image:title>Supervision - Are you looking for an art therapist supervisor?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Undertaking your art therapy training and starting a career as an art therapist can be a daunting experience. Finding someone who can support your learning to maximise your professional practice is key to growing into the art therapist you truly want to become. Having someone you can turn to who understands the complexities of being an art therapist who can help you develop your expertise is so important to building a sustainable and fulfilling practice. I offer both weekly and monthly supervision slots to trainees and qualified art therapists who are looking for a contemporary approach to their career. If you’re interested in exploring how we can work together please do get in touch.</image:caption>
