What Clients and Organisations Are Saying
Supporting peoples health and wellbeing using the creative process is the reason we do our work, read on to hear what people have said about our services.
Adoption Social Worker
" I would like to take this opportunity to command Arts Psychotherapies UK and the work Fiona has undertaken with our service. She has engaged well with the children and families we have referred to her, building and maintaining strong working relationships and also ensuring she provides relevant updates and comprehensive reports throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend Fionas Art Psychotherapy skills to others."
Parent
"Really amazing work with my 5 year old daughter who was struggling to regulate her emotions after divorce of her dad and I. Lovely creative activities and made her feel so safe and nurtured. Highly recommend."
Parent of adopted child
"Our little boy has attachment disorder and struggles to manage his emotions resulting in him lashing out at other children. It felt like we had tried everything including LCA's Behavioural support team but yet he was still struggling. This was impacting on his friendships with other children not wanting to play with him and the school threatening exclusion. The school were at a loss of what to do next and referred us to CYPS/ CAMHS - we knew CYPS wasnt the support that our son needed and on our request our local authority applied to the Adoption Support Fund for therapy and approached Fiona to do weekly art therapy sessions.
Fiona worked with our son for almost 2 years; supporting him to explore his emotions, understand his reactions and why he reacts in the way he does and developed coping mechanisms thats hes able to use independently.
Our son has thoroughly enjoyed his sessions and found them incredibly beneficial. The art he's produced whilst talking with Fiona has been beautiful and the family have loved receiving them as much as he has loved giving them. They're a lovely reminder of the amazing work that Fiona has done and the impact she's had on our family as well as documenting our sons journey through art therapy.
Fiona commitment to our son has been exceptional, he's a different little boy now; more confident, happy and able to cope with challenges appropriately. We can't thank Fiona enough and we'd highly recommend her."
Head teacher
"I can highly recommend Fiona at Arts Psychotherapies UK. She is making a big difference to lots of our children. Parents have written to tell me they have seen their children employing breathing techniques that Fiona has taught them to help them calm down and manage their feelings and children seem happier and more able to express themselves or explain their worries. The children certainly love the work she does - they literally run out of the classroom to attend her groups. I think she is a much needed service in our school and I would highly recommend her to individuals and schools looking for support for pupils presenting with anxiety, anger issues, experiences of trauma or just needing some space to talk and explore their feelings."
Menopausal Women Art Therapy group
"I have brought out far more here than in other clinical services. I don't feel judged here.
I am so much clearly about where I am with my mental health.
I have new understanding.
I have engaged far more than I thought I would, I feel more confident and have tackled big issues in my life.
The therapist is absolutely brilliant, calming, controlled, caring, kind and thoughtful.
I have been able to express my emotions and traumas through art, dealing with long held feelings and support from Fiona and the other women."
