Individual & Group
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy at Relational Arts Lab offers a confidential space where you can talk through your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and begin to make sense of the emotional and creative pressures that may be shaping your life.
-If you feel you might benefit from support, we’ll be happy to hear from you-
-
Our therapists have backgrounds in the creative and performing arts alongside their clinical training, and work within a relational and integrative approach to psychotherapy.
This means we pay attention not only to what you are experiencing, but also to how experience takes shape between people - including within the therapeutic relationship itself.
We understand that for many people in creative fields, personal and professional identities are often closely intertwined. Therapy offers a place where these connections can be explored with care, clarity, and time.
-
You do not need to be in crisis to begin therapy, and you do not need to bring only ‘art-related’ concerns. You are welcome to bring whatever feels present or important. We often hear from people who experience some of these challenges:
navigating creative or relational pressure
experiencing anxiety, burnout, or uncertainty
exploring identity, change, or belonging
feeling stuck in patterns that repeat in work or relationships
working with visibility, collaboration, or authorship
wanting a more reflective space than you currently have access to
-
Our therapists work both online and in person from practice spaces across the UK. Sessions are usually held weekly and on an open-ended basis, allowing a consistent therapeutic relationship to develop over time.
We understand that creative work can involve irregular schedules, rehearsals, touring, and periods of instability, so therapists will work with you directly to find a structure that feels manageable and sustainable.
Fees are offered on a sliding scale. Individual sessions generally range between £50–80, with group therapy sessions typically between £20–40. If cost feels like a barrier, we encourage you to get in touch to discuss your circumstances.

If you are interested in working with us, the first step is to get in touch to arrange an initial consultation with one of our therapists - do this via the contact form below.
This is an opportunity to think together about what you are looking for and hear more about your specific circumstances.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy offers a consistent space to explore what is happening in your life, at a pace that feels manageable for you. People come for many reasons - periods of change, anxiety, burnout, uncertainty, difficulties in relationships, or a sense of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.
For many of the people we work with, creative life is part of this picture. Questions around visibility, collaboration, identity, authorship, rejection, exposure, and instability often sit alongside more personal concerns. Therapy gives space for all of this, without needing to separate the “personal” from the “professional”.
Our therapists work relationally and integratively, paying close attention to how patterns of relating, history, and present experience shape one another in the therapy space itself.
Group Therapy
Alongside individual therapy, we offer ongoing process groups for artists and performers. These are small, closed groups that meet regularly to explore relational experience in real time - how we communicate, respond, withdraw, misunderstand, and make meaning together.
For many participants, the groups become a space to better understand patterns that emerge within collaboration, visibility, authority, conflict, and trust. At times the experience can feel supportive and connective; at other moments it may feel challenging, as the work involves staying with relational dynamics rather than moving away from them.
Facilitated by qualified therapists within a confidential and ethical framework, the groups are therapeutic in nature while remaining distinct from coaching or performance development spaces.
Contact Us
If you are interested in beginning therapy, please drop us a message, we’ll be happy to hear from you.
You do not need to know exactly what you are looking for before reaching out. If it would be helpful, you can share a little about what brings you to therapy and we can begin to talk through next steps.
Relational Arts Lab is not a crisis service. If you feel unable to keep yourself safe, or are in immediate crisis, please contact emergency services or a dedicated crisis support service such as the Samaritans on 116 123
