Hi I’m Mohamed! I’m in my final year of Masters of Art Therapy at The MIECAT Institute. I’m poet and artist who’s worked with video, installation, sculpture, textiles, collage, painting, illustration, improvised dance and performance. For work I am a Multimedia Technician at Makerspaces supporting the safe use of various machines and equipment. 🌺
In my art therapy practice I am committed to liberation, culturally responsive practice and staying with the process rather than drawing conclusions or interpreting behaviours. I think of therapy as a collaboration where we figure out “what’s up?” together, maintaining that you are the expert about yourself, your body and your heart.
My nature is to be curious and reflective and to make room for complexity (and maybe a bit of mischief 😉).
I believe authentic expression is part of health and wellbeing, and that a trusting and safe space is something we decide for ourselves over time. 😊🕊️
I hope this tells you what it might be like to hang out with me at Arty Afternoons 🙏
