A place to step out of constant thinking, find some space, and see what happens when you learn to create like people have painted for thousands of years.
Art has always been connected to reflection, healing and transformation, and long before psychology or therapy existed, art was a doorway through which we could explore our emotions and the deeper questions of human life.
Here in my studios, you can experience this ancient practice of art and personal transformation for yourself.
Through a range of workshops, weekly art groups and private one-to-one sessions, you can discover an instinctive approach to creativity and reconnect with one of the oldest ways we have of making sense of ourselves and the world around us.
Zero experience is needed, you are guided throughout, and what you create through this process may well be something you never thought possible.
A confidential space for personal and creative exploration through art
For over twenty years, my work in psychotherapy, somatic practice and mindfulness has shown me that we think through words, but we understand ourselves through sensation, movement, emotion and energy.
Based in Whitley Bay, just one hundred metres from the sea, my studios occupy a private creative space within OXYGENIC, intentionally designed to help you slow down, create instinctively and reconnect with yourself through art.
Everything I share through my workshops, weekly art groups and private sessions has grown from that understanding. This isn’t simply a place to learn how to paint. It’s a place to discover your own artistic style and reconnect with one of the oldest ways we have of understanding ourselves.
People travel from Tynemouth, North Shields, Newcastle and across the North East not simply to learn techniques, but to discover their own artistic style, create work that feels genuinely their own and produce artwork they never expected themselves capable of making.

Offering a range of workshops, art classes, one to one therapies and creative therapeutic experiences, on the coast in Whitley Bay.
