As a supervisor, Elle has been a breath of fresh air, bringing a great combination of support and insight, but also challenging me and encouraging me to think more deeply about myself as well as my clients. Elle also brings a lot of creativity to our work and encourages me to explore creative tools and ideas for using in client work.

What about working with Elle surprised you the most?
​
"Probably how much she understood me, I’ve had a lot of experience where folk don’t get what I’m trying to say, Elle just listened and taken it all in. I’m surprised it actually worked for me. I was getting to the stage where I’d tried so many different things, it’s been years and feeling more and more hopeless so I decided I needed to put my all into this and it has worked and I’m feeling better."

"Elle is a warm, empathetic and kind therapist. She has such a calming presence and I leave our sessions feeling peaceful, despite at times discussing intense and emotional topics. I was previously slightly sceptical about Art Therapy but art making is a part of the session I have enjoyed and found worthwhile."

Esol tutor and trainee art therapist
"This workshop was so well paced you wouldn't realise the time had gone. The body work was a treat. It was good to acknowledge the mutual stress of therapist and client suffering static bodies and online concerns like connectivity both technical and literal. There were very practical tips for sharing with the client and plenty of time to work with other therapists in a breakout room. Well considered, lively and knowledgeable without the distraction of lots of words on the screen. You felt it was a very person-oriented workshop."

"I was looking forward to this webinar as Elle combines both her art therapy and body centred training and experience. It is important to work with the all different aspects of the client in the therapeutic context.
It is important to be aware of and work with the body in art therapy.
Such an interesting theme and lovely facilitator."

"Thank you Elle, your workshop was definitly a highlight of the day. It was nice mix of theory and practical implication and left me with much food for thought. It was really good to get some exercises for self-care at the end of a full day too."

"In the current craziness of the world, the worry, the indefinite amount of time at home and the fear of what happens next, Elle’s session was just what was needed! A beautifully calm escape from all the worry and anxiety in our world at the moment! I can’t wait to join in more classes online and hopefully one day in person!"
