Janice Morris

As an art therapist (HCPC Reg.) I work experientially and integrate creative modes of training.  The use of art, creativity and sandtray in the therapy room and in exploring a large variety of issues constitutes the main thrust of my training workshops.  I am equally happy to work with both large and small groups. 

I offer an integrative/person-centred approach using creative modes of working, as appropriate, which reflects my original training as an art therapist.   I'm experienced in working with abuse, including spiritual abuse, depression, anxiety, cancer recovery, relationship & identity issues, low self esteem & trauma.

My approach to art therapy  (HCPC Reg.) is integrative/person-centred.  I have worked primarily with mental health and trauma in terms of my art therapy practice.

My metaphor for therapy is that of companions on a journey as we work together in a creative and collaborative process. 

My private practice is based in my home, a welcoming, comfortable space with opportunity for creative work if desired. Parking is in the street.

I  work in a largely non-directive manner, giving space to the client to bring whatever issues they need without judgment.  I offer a relationship based on acceptance, empathy and mutual respect in which, together, we can explore and co-create a process which is  empowering for the client.

I work as both a qualified clinical supervisor and cross-professional pastoral supervisor (Senior APSE Accredited).

I currently have availability and work Monday - Thursday daytime although I have a limited number of evening spaces.

My approach to supervision is one of collaborative enquiry.  As an art therapist (HCPC Reg.) I offer creative modes of working with symbols & images as appropriate.  This can be very powerful and enable hidden issues to emerge in a focused manner.

I am a British Association of Art Therapy approved supervisor so offer supervision to art therapists and art therapy trainees.

 I am a Senior Accredited Pastoral Supervisor (APSE)
