After completing an Access 'Art and Design Course' at college I proceeded on to a foundation course. It was during this time that it was suggested to me that I should become an Art Therapist, mainly because of my own personal experiences. Also because I was able to empathize with people on many levels.
Although experiencing various personal problems in my life, I continued to work very hard on my education and art became my own form of therapy. It enabled me to escape from life's problems and made me aware of how
'therapeutic' art can be for a troubled mind.
It was also at this time I was introduced to one of the founder members of
'thenervecentre' and I became a volunteer which helped give me direction and purpose to achieve my aim of becoming an Art Therapist.
