Meet the Therapists

Hello, my name is Amber Bartlett. I am a HCPC registered art psychotherapist, the founder and Director of Orange Zebra. I have always had a passion for working with children and young people and their families, this seed was planted in 2009, and grew across my 10 years of service working for Essex County Council.  My joyful enthusiastic nature usually puts children and teenagers at ease. I use creative materials including paint, clay, image cards, slime making and sand tray to support self-expression and develop communication. I especially enjoy working with neurodivergent young people and have experience in developing co-regulation skills. I have six years experience working with Adopted children and children with a SGO in partnership with local authority.    

Hello, my name is Kiera, I am a fully qualified HCPC registered Art Therapist and a full member of the British Association of Art Therapists. I have experience working with primary and secondary aged children and young people with emotional, behavioural and communication challenges. I always strive to provide clients with a safe space to explore their individual needs. I have a kind and calm nature and take time to get to know my clients, working at a pace that feels good for them.

Hello my name is Alison, I qualified as a Dramatherapist in 2008. I have 17 years experience working with children and young people in one-one sessions and group dramatherapy projects. I have worked within CAMHS (Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service NHS) for the past two years. I use story making, embodiment, role play, puppet work, projective play, drama games and other creative arts therapy techniques offering the space to look at things from different perspectives, explore feelings, make connections and find ways forward to experience positive change. I am an integrative creative psychotherapist and place the client at the centre of the work, responding to the here and now.
