Welcome to Self Portrait Art Therapy
What's On Offer
I’m Shona Young, a qualified art therapist and integrative counsellor. I offer one-to-one therapy, group workshops, and downloadable resources for mental health.
From a young age, art was my way of making sense of the world, while psychology fueled my curiosity about the human mind. Bringing those two passions together led me to the work I do today — supporting adults to process trauma, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with themselves in a safe, non-judgemental space. Whether through words, creativity, or a mixture of both, I tailor therapy to meet you where you are.
If you’d like to explore how therapy could support you, I offer a free discovery call, which is a chance to connect, ask questions, and see if this feels like the right fit for you.

Self Portrait
The name Self Portrait Art Therapy reflects my belief that you are the expert on your own life. Our lives are shaped by experiences, thoughts, emotions, ideas, relationships, and inner connections that only we can truly know from the inside out. In therapy, my role is to support and guide your exploration of your own mind and being, not to interpret it for you. I believe deeply in the healing power of art and its ability to help us access and express what words often cannot. Through the creative process, you’re able to look at different parts of yourself and make meaning from your experiences in a way that’s uniquely your own. In that sense, therapy becomes a metaphorical self-portrait, one that you create through reflection, expression, and self-understanding.
