About Zoe

Zoe Geldard, Bath based experienced art teacher and solution focused therapist

With 20 years as a qualified secondary art teacher, I started hosting online art workshops for friends and family during Covid. This inspired me to expand my work and now run creative workshops and have qualified in Solution Focused Therapy. I am working with adults, children, and elderly care residents in a wide range of settings from educational and private to charities and corporate.

I always had a really vested interest in mentoring and supporting vulnerable and SEN students whilst in education. I found art was a safe haven for a lot of students who found it difficult in other aspects of school life. I headed up the Pupil Premium in one faculty and was a mentor for both students and student teachers during my teaching career and am continuing to mentor students now. In addition to this, I set up and ran staff wellbeing in some of my schools. Although I loved being in the classroom, the nurturing and supportive side was my passion.

Combining my art and mentoring background with Solution-Focused Therapy, I work in both educational and private settings. I support individuals to fee confident in themselves, be creative and build resilience. I create relaxed, engaging sessions where participants leave with new skills, renewed confidence, and a sense of achievement.

I offer a range of services blending creative and therapeutic elements, either in group settings or one to one. I aim for everyone to feel welcome and empowered through self-expression and personal growth.

Their sessions also offer a safe space to discuss personal struggles, improving the student's confidence and school attendance. Zoe’s support has made a real difference, and we highly recommend her for continued and expanded work with students."
