Akoma Healing H'Arts

Akoma Healing H'Arts I offer art therapy and trauma based therapies. When we just don’t have the words...... In times of crisis we can all feel overwhelmed.

Akoma Healing H’Arts provides a space for you to work on your difficulties and find creative solutions. Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy. It can help when it is difficult to find the words and talk about how you feel. My name is Olatunde Spence I am a qualified and registered Art Psychotherapist. I run Akoma Healing H’Arts using creativity to connect, inspire and heal. I have lived experienc

e of emotional and psychological distress. I have worked with children and adults for over 30 years working with community groups and individuals to promote health and wellbeing through creativity and connection. I have worked with children in schools and youth clubs who have experienced difficulties in their lives e.g. bullying, loss, trauma, etc. I have provided support to adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, isolation, long term physical health problems, negative or distressing voices, parenting and relationship conflicts. As a therapist I am committed to working with individuals and groups who have experienced adversity, isolation and discrimination. By bringing people together to value life experiences, share stories and reduce isolation we develop resilience and improve our health. I am HCPC Registered and Fully Insured. A Member of the British Association of Art Therapists and a Member of Black and Asian Therapists Network.

When Dad is neurodivergent - celebrating Father's Day in the UK - a podcast by neurodivergent Dads from Central

In this episode, Mike and Phil, both mental health nurses and late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD, join Catherine Asta to explore their experiences of fatherhood. They speak about feeling unseen in schools and workplaces, confronting internalised rejection and navigating the expectations placed on fathers about how they ‘should’ show up.

Through their own personal reflections, they share the journey of self-discovery that followed their diagnoses alongside their children, and the importance of finding community along the way.

This month, we’re shining a light on the importance of mental wellness for the men in our lives. Strength isn't about carrying every burden alone, it's about knowing when to speak up, seek support, and prioritize your well-being.

Check in on the men you love. Create space for honest conversations. Listen without judgment. Mental health matters for everyone, and healing happens in community.
