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.
