Kathryn Hasted

I am available to take clients on Mondays and some afternoons/evenings

I am a Transpersonal Arts Counsellor, trained at Tobias School of Arts and Therapy. My work is person centred, with my art therapy practice being integrated with Humanistic and Transpersonal theory.

I am specialised to working with those living with long term illness and conditions, neurological conditions and chronic pain. I am able to support clients therapeutically in their own homes and/or via zoom. 

I am based in Tunbridge Wells in Kent and able to do home visits in the local area. For online work I can take clients nationally.

I have over twenty years experience working within local communities and nationally to support adults living with long term conditions and those experiencing change in their lives. I currently work as an Arts Counsellor for the Brain and Spine Foundation where I design and facilitate online arts for wellbeing groups. I am also working in my local community to run creative therapeutic workshops.

I am a practising textile artist and designer maker. I work with a variety of artistic media to support my clients to better wellbeing, including wet on wet painting, pastel, textiles, collage, sculpture, form drawing and more. 

I understand the complexities of living with a long term condition or illness and I am interested to help you to discover your creative self and in dong so support a better quality of life.

An initial conversation will be for me to understand a little more about you and how I may be able to support you. It is also for you to ask any questions you may have. 

If I am visiting you at your home I will also be making an assessment of the space I will be working with you in and any additional support needs you may have around working with art media, your preferences etc. I will share with you my contract and we will decide on a art therapy plan.

Following this we will have our first session through which we will confirm the above and then move on to working therapeutically together.
