Hello, I’m Shan - the founder of Mindful Studio
I’m an art psychotherapist with a background in project management, the arts and creative health.
I’m interested in people, places, stories and imagery. Mindfulness is woven into my work, keeping an ethos of radical rest at its core.
I am warm and friendly, using an empathetic and person-centred approach to help you feel at ease. Life and work experiences provide me with a rich and powerful way to cultivate ideas and encourage new debates.
Alongside offering one-to-one and group art therapy and corporate workshops, I run creative health groups for people on recovery journeys from chronic health conditions.
I have a degree in anthropology, with postgraduate studies in documentary photography and an MA in art psychotherapy. I am interested in visual narratives connected to personal identity, community and social justice.
I have worked in the NHS, schools and community settings. I am registered with both the Health and Care Professions Council and the British Association of Art Therapists.
I look forward to supporting you on your wellbeing journey. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
