Katherine Heritage
Arts Therapist in Brighton

My name is Katherine (she/her) I'm an experienced Art Therapist with a gentle and quietly reflected style. I work on a freelance basis, in private practice. In addition I can provide bespoke and tailor made groups for charities and organisations.

Background & Arts Therapy Qualifications

Masters Degree in Art Therapy - MA Art Psychotherapy Practice.

Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered.

Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art making as the primary way to communicate. It is not an art class, we don't teach and we don't judge the art you make. The art is there as a tool for self-expression, anything goes whether it's a squiggle or even a collection of words.

My Specialisms

I place particular importance on supporting people who find themselves marginalised by society, whether through age, mental health, disability, caring role, ethnicity, identity or socio-economic status. Lived experience of neurodivergence and caring.

Approach to Arts Therapy & How I Work

I offer online art therapy groups. The groups take place on Zoom with myself and a co-therapist. Group members can be based anywhere in England. The online art therapy groups have been designed to provide a space for exploring thoughts, feelings and situations using art. Using creatively to detangle and make sense of our situations. The group format allows group members to join together, reflect and feel the support from each other. As time goes on the groups' connection will deepen, allowing this to become a powerfully connected, creative, safe space.

These groups are suitable for adults who feel they would benefit from ongoing support. For example; those with long term health conditions, those with anxiety and depression, carers. Online groups are particularly suitable for those who prefer virtual therapy or struggle to find time for themselves. Therapy groups can be particularly useful for those who feel isolated or lonely. When someone is experiencing anxiety or depression, it can be incredibly reassuring to learn others have also experienced this. I hope the groups are accessible and comfortable for neurodivergent individuals. Due to the online nature, the group isn't a good fit for those who are acutely unwell or in a severe crisis.
