Meet our Ambassadors

Hi, I'm Charlotte! After an 18 year career as a secondary English teacher, I retrained as a counsellor and now hold both a Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling and a Diploma in Person-Centred Creative Arts Therapy.
I currently work in private practice and at a community women’s charity, where I have also facilitated creative journalling and peer support groups. Alongside my wife Fleur, as part of Two Birds Therapy, we offer regular creative therapeutic workshops as well as a monthly peer supervision group for newly qualified counsellors.
My work is informed by a deep belief in the healing power of creativity, relationship, and reflection. I am passionate about including expressive and creative approaches into my therapeutic practice, supporting clients to explore their inner worlds through image, metaphor, and sand play. My work is underpinned by a strong commitment to relational depth, ethical practice, and person-centred values. Creativity and expression are also central to my life outside counselling. I enjoy reading, writing, and painting, and I have a strong interest in history, languages, and story. I love the imaginative and narrative depth of video games, and I have an extensive collection of tarot and oracle cards, which I use as symbolic and reflective resources. These interests continually feed my curiosity and my belief in creativity as a gentle and powerful way of exploring inner worlds.

Hi I’m Tracy, an ambassador for the northeast. I am an Integrative Creative Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor.
I joined the CC just before lockdown and everyone helped me feel like I had found my tribe.
I learnt so much about creativity and how we can help our clients when they may be “stuck” with their words. Using our creative sides can be the answer when we didn’t even know we had a question.
Our lovely tribe gave me the confidence to become a clinical supervisor and I am preparing to open creative 1-1 supervision and group supervision up here in the northeast.
I was honoured to be invited to contribute to Tanya’s book and shared my WorryBuddies™️ with you all and that little ™️ symbol would not have been added if I hadn’t had the support from her.
I aim to give back as much as what the CC has given to me.
If you’re new to CC welcome to our tribe, if you are part of our tribe thank you for being part of my family.

Hi my name is Cara and I am a qualified Child and Adolescent Therapist with a
Masters Degree in Play and Creative Art Therapy. I work with children and parents
together or children and young people on their own. I also offer Heart2Heart
child & parent attachment building sessions to help build and maintain parent/child relationships. I am based in Leicestershire.

Hi, I'm Karen. I work full time for the Local Authority as a Senior SEND Lead worker and also have my own private counselling practice. I deliver parenting courses for parents with SEND children as part of my job too. I offer creative tools and appropriate interventions to support change as an integrative and collaborative counsellor , incorporating many theories in my work and the use of creative interventions.

My name is Rhiannon. I am an integrated counsellor, wellness coach, Stylist and Mosaic Artist.
My business is Mirror Self and as the name implies finding an understanding that's one's own reflection in a mirror is an image of oneself, as opposed to believing that one is looking at another individual.
My goals and aspirations are to create change inside others in a safe and supporting environment creating conversations that can make you laugh and cry but growing your strength at your pace until you feel stronger.
I have run my own business for over 30 years, been a single parent of 2 amazing young adults a bereaved mum to 1 baby.
I have taught in local college and run mosaic workshops.
I love the great outdoors and four legged friends as opposed to indoors and four walls. Getting the balance right in our forever changing lives is difficult but creating a mosaic as we rebuild ourselves bit by bit combining our diversity with pieces of mirror, wavy edges, broken pieces, bad choices, ugly truths as we are not neat, tidy but we are filled with soul, grace and a comeback to become the truest reflection of who we are.
Being an artist of your own life is ok and not giving that hand to anyone else is your gift to you.

Hi, I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and expressive artist, and I facilitate the Creative Counsellors "Awakening Your Creativity" workshops for members as well as contributing to regular blog articles. I also deliver sessions to Public Health, Mind, community arts organisations and mental health services. I have a passion for the healing power of arts and creativity is my driving force behind therapeutic work, I love working in my visual journals and create sessions that can prove every person has a creative spark that can be awakened. Recently I also started mentoring and training therapeutic professionals wanting to use creativity and visual arts in their work but needing to build their own confidence. This resulted in a ripple effect and seeing how transformational creativity can be.

I am a Person Centred Creative counsellor working in private practice in Glasgow. Alongside in person sessions I also offer 'walk and talk sessions' in a local park, and through this I have connected with a local charity, with whom I now partner with, to deliver outdoor creative groups for the local community. This is something that I have high hopes of developing further.

I'm Neurodivergent (ADHD) and I have a special interest in working with Neurodivergent clients. I'm always happy to chat to people about my lived experience. I find it important that more understanding about this is accessible.

I'm passionate about working with creativity and helping people reconnect with that part of themselves. I am excited to be working on developing Creative Counsellors networking groups in Scotland and would love to meet with more local creative counsellors for mutual inspiration and support.

The three words I use that reflect on my work are 'Creativity, Curiosity, Connection'

Hi, I’m Louise, an ambassador for Creative Counsellors. I’m an Integrative Creative Counsellor, based in Brenchley in kent, between Tonbridge and Tunbridge wells, and finding this incredible community was truly life-changing for me—it was like finding my tribe.

For the longest time, I thought I was just “weird” because I saw the world through metaphor, colour, and shape. I think outside the box, but sometimes words were hard, and with ADHD, I often felt shame because I couldn’t always grasp things the way I thought I “should.” When I found Creative Counsellors, they accepted me as I am, and that was transformational. I realised it’s okay to be fully me. The acceptance I found here gave me the freedom to explore my creativity without judgment.

I hold a Level 4 Integrative CPCAB Diploma, a counselling degree, and have completed many of the Creative Counsellors training sessions including Creative Counsellors Walk and Talk therapy, as well as the CPCAB Creative Counsellors Pathway. I work with adults, couples, and young people, specialising in trauma, sexual abuse, addiction, complex PTSD, and ADHD. I also facilitate the Creative Counsellors Book Club.

I’m deeply passionate about cooking (especially slow-cooking), chocolate, anything leopard print, reading and books, therapeutic cards, sand tray work, and any creative approach that helps explore hard feelings and experiences. This tribe has become my family, and I’m committed to giving back as much as it has given me.

Hi, I’m Amy. I’m an integrative counsellor and BACP accredited therapist based in Wrexham, where I run my private practice, Willow Tree Counselling & Supervision. I’ve been qualified since 2016 and offer a supportive, professional, and caring space for clients and supervisees to reflect, grow, and feel truly heard.

I work from a peaceful office at the back of my home, providing a warm, non-judgemental environment where people can bring whatever they need. Alongside traditional talking therapy, I enjoy incorporating creativity into my work when it feels helpful, inviting clients and supervisees to explore creative methods if they wish.

Creativity is also an important part of my own self-care. I love writing poetry, journaling, and art journaling as ways to reflect and recharge.

I’m passionate about supporting and connecting with other counsellors locally. As an ambassador, I value the sense of community and connection that is so vital in the work we do. I aim to offer warmth, compassion, and encouragement while creating space for thoughtful reflection and shared learning.
