Etherscapes is an online therapeutic arts space founded by Ella Bonneretti, a UK-based psychotherapist offering online psychotherapy for adults.
Through psychotherapy and the arts, you are invited to explore your own possibilities, co-create with the world around you, and always be in a process of becoming.
.✦ ܁˖ Background
My professional experience supporting adults and children with their mental health spans 14 years, and has included work in settings such as recovery houses, residential homes, helplines and charities.
I’ve worked alongside small grassroots organisations and schools to provide therapeutic arts workshops, exploring themes such as identity, neurodiversity and confidence-building.
I have an academic background in Psychology and am currently completing a Masters degree, researching the intersections between artist, therapist and autistic identities.
In addition to private therapeutic work, I’ve also recently worked with a local charity offering holistic, creative support to care-experienced children and young people. I absolutely adore the work I do.
I was diagnosed as autistic in my mid-twenties. A lifelong interest in people, behaviour, meaning and connection started to make sense in a new light. The neurodiversity movement has shaped the way I see difference and disability - yes, neurological differences are very real, and yes, the environments we exist within can amplify the extent to which people are disabled or accommodated.
I’m fortunate to be able to use my voice, training and education to support other people who are sifting through all the dominant messaging out there about ‘normality’, whether that’s around disability, whiteness, gender, or anything else that diverges from ‘typicality’, in search of their own sense of meaning.
Etherscapes was formed to integrate my love for psychotherapy with the importance creativity has held for me as an autistic person. This lived experience continues to inform my way of being as a neuro-affirming psychotherapist and artist.
I am available for commissioned therapeutic work. If you or your organisation would benefit from creative, therapeutic input, please get in touch.
