Expressing feelings through art and play

Katy Downs
Specialising in work with children

Katy and art materials
I became an art therapist in 2002 and have worked with a range of client groups.  For two decades my work has been focused on children's needs.

I have experience working in schools with children whose behaviours demonstrate a level of distress and emotional need.  I have also worked for Children's Services alongside Social Workers who are supporting families that have a child with a disability. 

I am registered as a private practitioner with the British Association of Art Therapists and can therefore am able to offer private art therapy.

​I completed a post graduate diploma in art therapy at Hertfordshire University (2002) followed by a  masters research degree in advanced art therapy (2003).

I am registered with, and accountable to, the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) and follow their code of ethics.
The Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) monitor and regulate the caring professions such as art therapy. I am a registered member of HCPC.


Who might I work with?


• Children who have been through, or are going through, a hard time for various reasons.

• Adults who find it difficult to communicate how they are feeling using words.

​• I also offer supervision for therapists from a variety of theoretical backgrounds.

Am I the right person for your child?

If you have a child that you are worried about, it can be really difficult to know what to do for the best.  
I would be happy to have a chat on the phone about the support that I offer . Following that initial call if you feel it might be useful, we can arrange a meeting in which we will think in detail about your child and establish whether we feel that I may be of use.
