    A wide range of art making materials are available for you to use and explore within in person art therapy. This will be within a private confidential safe space with the therapist.

  • INITIAL ASSESMENT MEETING

    Within your first art therapy session we will do some initial assessment paperwork together, some housekeeping and I will talk you through what to expect. You will have a chance to explore using the art materials and tell your story.

    This gives you the chance to see if art therapy is for you and if you would like to continue with sessions.

    *For minors, parents/carers are able to sit in for the first part of these initial meetings.

Welcome to the Therapy Room at 45 Frederick Street

Tucked away in Edinburgh’s beautiful New Town, my therapy room at 45 Frederick Street is a peaceful, private space designed to support reflection, creativity, and connection. Whether you're coming to talk, play, or explore through art, this space offers a warm and welcoming environment tailored to your needs.

The room is light-filled and cosy, thoughtfully set up with art materials, sensory resources, and soft furnishings to help children and young people feel at ease. It’s a space where emotions can be expressed freely, at your own pace, in your own way.

There’s also a comfortable shared waiting area just outside the room, perfect for parents, carers, or anyone accompanying a young person to session. You're welcome to take a seat, enjoy a quiet moment, simply relax while you wait or head on out and return for pick up.

Please note: due to the character of this lovely old building, the room is located up two flights of stairs and unfortunately does not have lift access. I completely understand this may be a barrier for some clients, and I’m happy to discuss alternative arrangements if needed.

If you're curious about the space or would like to visit before starting sessions email or call to book in.

  • CANCELLATION POLICY

    Please note that appointments must be cancelled within 24hours. No shows and cancellations made after this will be charged the full session amount.
