What I do through textile:

Embroidery is an arts/heart/limb connection I never thought I’d have; I have always been a creative person but have never been able to commit to a mode, instead flitting around in best intentions and unsureness.

I started stitching a few years ago with a dear friend and housemate at the time just as something to try, and from that point it just continued to grow and evolve; quite quickly I might add.

Stitching has given me a place to display a sense of beauty that I’ve always wanted to show but never been able to, in the beginning this was so important to me. It’s given me a space to connect to nature around me and to question my own knowledge and preconceptions around the natural world and aesthetics.

It’s given me thousands of hours of mindful tactile connection and helped me through many a dark moment; pressing pause on thoughts and behaviours to stitch and see how I felt in an hour.

It’s given me an ongoing arts practice, again, something I never thought I’d haven especially one that feels so natural in its evolution.

Stitching has given me a connection to other humans which I didn’t have before, this connection through embroidered pieces is soul enriching, novel at times and wholly unexpected. I feel a sense of delicious anticipation knowing I have many years ahead to continue my arts practice and create new ideas and connections.

What I do through therapeutic arts:

As a Therapeutic Arts practitioner I have worked with young people aged 3 to 25 in the mental health sector and respite care for children with life threatening conditions.

My own experiences of being a patient/client within the mental health sector for many years has informed my practice, and I continue to respond to and develop from these experiences. My time studying at The MIECAT Institute has been life and practice changing, MIECAT processes, procedures and values are at the heart centre of my practice.

I value providing an open, supported and safe space for people to explore what they want to at that time. Practicing emergently allows me to respond to what a person brings to the space and maintain flexibility when responding to their inquiry.

I provide a person centred approach, this is one of the most important parts of my practice which partly stems from my own experiences within the mental health system where it is sometimes buried in bureaucracy and wide sweeping judgments/expectations. Each person experiences the world in their own way, and remaining close to their experiences with as few preconceptions as possible helps to support their process outside of expectations.

Words and verbal language can be limiting, clumsy and sticky in my opinion, and are not necessarily something we all have capacity and access to. Valuing multimodality in the therapeutic space opens up new possibilities in meaning and understanding. Through visual connection, be that drawing, painting, collaging, gesture and movement to sound and kinetic planes; we have infinitely more options for connection, growth, change and meaning making.

I value reflective and reflexive practice, we are always learning and evolving as therapists and humans. It’s important to remain reflexive because if we are not, then we are not moving in any way, we become a stuck point where people have to come to us in hope of meaning or change. When we’re practicing reflexivity, we are movable in process and growth along with the people we work with.
