Creative Arts Facilitator

Hi, I’m Isabella (or Bella)!

With a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminology and Psychology and a lifelong passion for creativity, I bring a unique blend of insight, empathy, and artistic flair to my work. I have extensive experience supporting children and young people aged 2 to 24, particularly those impacted by trauma, and I’m passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces where self-expression is encouraged and celebrated.

I love all things artistic — from sketching and painting to exploring how creativity can be a powerful tool for emotional exploration and healing. My sessions are designed to empower young people to express themselves freely through art and imagination.

Outside of work, you’ll often find me reading fantasy novels or horror stories by Stephen King and Clive Barker, listening to heavy metal and 80s music (I have a soft spot for David Bowie), skateboarding, or relaxing in nature with my two beloved cats.

I aim to bring warmth, authenticity, and a grounded approach to every connection I make with the young people I support.
