Creating Dads research 2020-2024
Between 2020 and 2024 I was an Art Therapist doctoral researcher at the University of Cumbria. My research investigated how we can improve father and family wellbeing using creative interventions.
​
Through research with fathers I developed a creative, gender informed, embodied approach to art therapy that aims to improve wellbeing.
This is a 12 week approach of one to one therapy, that incorporates psychoeducation, exploration of different art materials, and uses the focus on fatherhood as a vehicle for discussion around strengths and areas of improvement that could be achieved.
