About Erika

Hi, I'm Erika, and my journey is about embracing creativity, healing, and connection. I have always been passionate about art, and I’ve spent years nurturing that passion as a freelance artist, showcasing my work in galleries and completing private commissions.

 

As I’ve grown, I’ve also discovered the power of helping others, and that led me to counselling. After becoming a qualified Ashtanga yoga teacher, I realized that I could merge my love for art with my desire to support people in a meaningful way. That’s when I decided to pursue a career in art therapy.

 

I believe deeply in the power of art to heal, express, and transform. My approach is about fostering a safe, compassionate space where individuals can explore their feelings and experiences through creativity. I’m dedicated to using my skills to empower others and help them tap into their inner strength and creativity.

 

Alongside my journey as an artist and counsellor, I’ve had the privilege of volunteering in schools, helping children discover their creative potential and build confidence. I’m passionate about supporting others, and I believe that by fostering a positive, open environment, everyone can thrive.

 

In a world where stress, anxiety, and uncertainty often consume us, Mindfulness with Art is about finding stillness in creativity. Art allows us to pause, be present, and reconnect with ourselves in a way that words sometimes cannot. It has helped me through my own struggles, and now, my mission is to help others discover that same sense of peace, healing, and joy through artistic expression.

My Experience & Training

My background in fine art, mindfulness, and counselling has shaped my approach to using creativity as a tool for well-being. I studied Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, where I explored a range of artistic disciplines, from painting and sculpture to photography and digital media. 

Alongside this, I trained as an Ashtanga Yoga instructor at the Yoga Vedanta Training Academy in Singapore, deepening my understanding of mindfulness and movement.

Currently, I’m completing my Level 2 CPCAB Counselling Training, with plans to continue studying Art Psychotherapy.

 My experience also includes teaching art and textiles in schools, where I’ve worked with children to build confidence through creativity. I’ve also taken leadership training with the Chartered Management Institute, helping me develop skills in mentoring and planning.

Through all of this, my goal has always been the same: to create a welcoming space where people can express themselves, heal, and grow through art.
