The Creative Therapy Hub offers a safe, supportive and creative approach to emotional wellbeing for children, young people, adults and families. Through creative psychotherapy, individuals are given the space to explore experiences, emotions and relationships in ways that feel natural and accessible to them.
Creative therapy uses a range of creative approaches, including art, play, movement, music and other forms of expression. There is no need to be artistic or have any creative experience, the focus is on the process and what it can help us understand about ourselves.
The Hub offers 1:1 and group creative psychotherapy, parent and child sessions, parent consultations, school-based therapeutic support, professional workshops and specialist work alongside social workers, foster agencies and organisations supporting children in care.
With a relational, systemic and trauma-informed approach, support is tailored to the individual and considers not only the person, but the relationships, family and wider environment around them.
A creative space to explore, understand and connect.

A safe space to explore, express and understand.
Creative therapy offers a way to communicate and work through thoughts, feelings and experiences. Rather than relying only on words, it can use creativity as part of the process, helping people explore what may be difficult to explain or put into language.
Creative psychotherapy can offer a flexible and individualised space for neurodivergent children, young people and adults. Sessions are adapted to each person’s individual communication style, sensory needs and ways of processing and expressing emotions.
Creative approaches can provide different ways to explore experiences, build self-understanding and express what may be difficult to communicate through words alone.

The Support We Offer:
The Creative Therapy Hub.
I’m Aisling, an HCPC-registered Creative Psychotherapist with nearly 10 years’ experience working with people of all ages and a wide range of needs and complexities.
My experience includes primary and secondary schools, community settings, charities and working alongside social care professionals and children, young people and families in private practice.
My background began with an undergraduate degree in Creative Arts Therapies, giving me experience and insight across a range of creative approaches, including play, music, movement and dance. I went on to achieve a First-Class Honours degree in Creative Art Psychotherapy and later completed postgraduate study in Systemic Practice and Family Therapy.
My approach is creative, relational and tailored to the individual session. I consider each person within the context of their relationships, family and wider environment, drawing on different creative approaches to provide meaningful ways to explore and express experiences that may be difficult to communicate.
I’m also a mum of three young children, which I see as a strength within my work. Alongside my professional training and experience, it brings a grounded understanding of family life, relationships and the everyday realities of parenting.
