Ellen Spafford
Psychotherapist
I am a local independent Psychotherapist. I work closely with several charities including Guernsey Mind and Guernsey Cancer support. I have a wide breadth of experience in various settings working with both groups and individuals. My qualifications include both an AFT accredited Foundation and an Intermediate course in Systemic Psychotherapy, an MA in Art Psychotherapy with HCPC accreditation and EMDR training.
Everyone comes to therapy for unique reasons therefore I offer an initial assessment before sessions start.​​
Psychotherapy
Systemic Psychotherapy
Systemic psychotherapy focuses on relationships. It can be used with individual, couple or family psychotherapy.
​
Art psychotherapy
Art Therapists are psychodynamically trained professionals who provide a form of therapy, which includes the optional use of art materials to create images, marks, or forms, to help reflect on and to express thoughts and feelings. We are governed by the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC), and it is a legal requirement to be registered before practicing anywhere in the UK or Guernsey as an Art Therapist or Art Psychotherapist.
Like all forms of therapy, it is important to find a therapist who is right for you, and a way of working that fits. Art therapy, like many forms of therapy is about the therapeutic relationship.
There is no need to have any form of artistic experience, and no aesthetic judgements are made in sessions. Art therapy tools can range from talking, metaphors, visualisation and art materials.
