My Journey - Who, What, Where, Why & When
How Holistic Creative Therapy Found ME ...
Paint Potts Creative was founded to
offer personalised creative healing
beyond traditional therapy.
Who I am ...
Karen Potter
I am a Teaching Assistant and recently qualified Holistic Creative Therapist. I have moved from Manchester to Northwich for a slower pace of life, I'm also a mother and a grandmother and I love family life.
I have worked at a Primary School for 25 years and I've loved every minute of it. I qualified in June 2026 as an Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy Practitioner with Distinction (I am NOT an Arts Therapist but I use art processes) , I knew that this was my new path to helping others. I am currently doing my Masters with Devine-Creative Education so I can be the best that I can be (Doing the Masters was by choice as I am already qualified).
What is Holistic Creative Therapy?
Holistic Creative Therapy is a form of therapeutic support that uses creative activities alongside a whole-person approach to help someone explore emotions, reduce stress, and improve wellbeing.
Rather than focusing only on talking about problems, it may involve things such as:
- 🎨 Art — painting, drawing, collage, clay or other visual expression
- ✍️ Writing — journaling, poetry, storytelling or reflective writing
- 🎵 Music — listening, playing instruments, songwriting or rhythm
- 💃 Movement — gentle movement, dance or body-based expression
- 🎭 Drama and role-play — exploring experiences through characters and stories
- 🌿 Mindfulness and nature — sensory activities, relaxation and connection with the environment
Where will it be?
My Home
Paint Potts Creative will be run from a garden room, where it will be peaceful and quiet. We won't be disturbed and it is a private space so nobody can hear what is said or if we need to make noise.
I am open to mobile visits if that's easier for you.
Why I'm Doing This ...
Because it saved me!
One day I woke up and I couldn't find any kind of happiness. That's when I realised that I needed help. My childhood trauma was no longer locked away in a box and now I had to face it. Speaking wasn't an option as I couldn't say the words but by simply painting I could say how I felt. I was overjoyed that I could finally say the words and realise that it was never my fault. Going to a group with women that were the same as me made me feel connected and no longer ashamed. I started writing poetry as this is how I like to journal and this is my first one. By moving my focus the darkness started to fade and I'm proud to say I survived my childhood and it's made me who I am today.
When??
Coming Soon ....
I am currently in the process of getting the cabin built, so as soon as it's ready, I'll do an open day and then you can come along and see what all the fuss is about :)
