1:1 Therapy

If you are a dreamer come in
If you are a dreamer a wisher a liar
A hoper a pray-er a magic-bean-buyer
If you’re a pretender come sit by my fire
For we have some flax golden tales to spin

Come in!

Come in!

 

Shel Silverstein

Creative Guide

Many people feel understandably anxious and at a loss around what we are witnessing in the on-going climate emergency. I am here to offer you a safe space to think about the emotions evoked for you in this unfolding and evolving situation. Therapy is an investment in yourself, and in your future and the future of the planet.

Giving yourself this space and time can help to reduce overwhelm and find a renewed sense of creativity and a clearer sense of your identity, with more clarity around what your role is in these uncertain times, and how you can move forward into a more purposeful and meaningful life.

  • Helping you to move past creative blocks and find a way forward into renewed creativity

  • Finding ways to navigate these challenging times

  • Creative sessions to enhance well-being and release creative blocks

  • Sessions for small groups or workplaces to explore feelings, thoughts, hopes and fears around the climate emergency

Dreaming up a new reality

Welcome I’m Nina Bradshaw, artist and therapeutic arts practitioner. Here you will find my artistic offerings for sale and therapeutic options for you to discover.

 About Me: Although my primary career has been as a mental health worker and therapist, working for the NHS and Charity Sector and more recently for myself, I have kept a creative practice alongside this. I find this assists me to digest and express the grief and fears I face myself around climate change and the ecological crisis, as well as being a therapeutic tool in assisting me to make sense of the sometimes traumatic and distressing situations/emotions evoked by all that is occurring in our world at this time in history.

I can assist you in navigating the complexities of the crises we are all facing and help you to process your emotions around these, as well as offer you a space to think about your own identity and role within the evolving situation. Using a mixture of traditional talking therapies, creative activities to facilitate expression and a safe space to reflect, I hope you will feel free to find a deeper and more energised way to move through the world.

Please take your time to explore my creative and therapeutic offerings. I hope you will feel at home here and find something that resonates with you. Together let’s take a journey of exploration and creativity. Book a free call

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and a registered member of Social Work England.

I qualified as a Social Worker in 2001. I have worked in the NHS and Charity sector for over 20 years. I have worked in therapy services and managed teams throughout this time. I have worked with people from all walks of life and backgrounds.

I have undertaken professional training in different therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Group Analysis and Individual Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.

Alongside my professional career, I have maintained a creative practice. I attended life-drawing classes for seven years which gave me a good foundation for the development of my creative offerings. I have explored many different techniques and processes from wax painting to crochet. My felt making practice has been growing since I attended a felt-making workshop over 10 years ago.
