About me

I’m Noémie, an art psychotherapist working with teens and adults.

​

My work is grounded in the belief that while past experiences cannot

be changed, the way we experience and relate to them can be gently

transformed. I’m particularly drawn to working with people who feel anxious,

overwhelmed, or stuck, especially when words don’t always feel accessible

or sufficient.

I’m interested in the spaces where language reaches its limits. Anxiety,

emotional overwhelm, and past experiences often live beyond what can

easily be explained. Over time, I’ve found that creative and sensory ways of

working can offer another form of listening — one that doesn’t rely solely on

talking orunderstanding.

​

In my sessions, I aim to offer a calm, attuned, and respectful space. We work at a pace that feels manageable, with attention to safety, choice, and what feels right in the moment. I don’t push for insight or change; instead, I work alongside you, noticing what emerges and supporting understanding as it unfolds over time.

 

My approach is grounded in The Living Matter, a creative and process-focused way of working within art psychotherapy. This approach places importance on contact with materials — paint, colour, movement — as a way to support expression and restore movement when things feel stuck or frozen. Art-making may sit alongside conversation, or sometimes take the lead, depending on what feels most supportive.

No previous experience or skill in art is required. The focus is not on making something “good”, but on the process itself and what it allows to be noticed.

​

I am a qualified art psychotherapist and work in a trauma-informed way. I engage in regular supervision and ongoing professional development to support my practice.

​

If you’re curious about working together, you’re welcome to book a first conversation. There’s no pressure to know where to start.

Professional background

I hold a Master’s degree in Art Psychotherapy and am fully registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

I am also a member of the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) and work in accordance with their ethical framework for good practice.

I hold a BA in Fine Arts, which informs my process-focused, material-based approach. Before training as an art psychotherapist, I spent over ten years working in a high-pressure corporate environment, shaping my understanding of anxiety and emotional overwhelm.
