Cass Thomas Therapy
Integrative Arts Psychotherapist
If life feels overwhelming or confusing, you don’t have to face it alone.
If something is troubling you, I can offer you a safe space to explore challenges, and support change.
I offer psychotherapy and counselling in Hitchin and Letchworth.
I work with:
-
young people and adults, offering 50-minute weekly sessions.
Areas of Expertise
Therapy is for anyone experiencing difficult feelings, or who feels they are in a situation which is stuck or unmanageable.
Some of the areas I work with:
-
Life Events
Bereavement, illness, complex trauma, life transitions
-
Mental Health Issues
Anxiety, panic attacks, depression, emotional dysregulation
-
Personal Challenges
Anger, insecurities, identity issues, relationship problems, attachment issues, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and neurodiversity
How I work:
I combine traditional talking therapies with Integrative Arts Psychotherapy. Rather than having a one-size-fits-all approach, I draw upon what is relevant from multiple theoretical and practical learnings to hold you as an individual; helping you gain understanding and change in your life.
Some people prefer to speak things through in their sessions. Others may find combining creative approaches allows for expression when something isn’t reachable through words alone.
I offer a bespoke service tailored to your needs. Together we will find ways of working that meet you where you’re at.
You do not need experience, talent, or even an interest in art to get something from art therapy. Work made is process-based and free of judgement. Please get in touch if you have questions, or for an initial session to talk about how this might work for you.
