Andrew Thurm

Andrew is a north east-based health professional with a background in the arts. With over 30 years' experience as a mental health nurse, Andrew has seen the therapeutic benefits of using a sketchbook or journal to aid reflection, memory and positive thinking. His gentle, structured course is almost like a personal artistic retreat for anyone - regardless of whether you have drawn anything before or not. Guided through different processes, participants are encouraged to take stock of your natural setting and develop techniques that you can take away to use as part of a regular practice to support your future wellbeing.
