Kate Smith

Visual Artist / Designer and Workshop Leader

I have been diagnosed with an ‘Acute and Transient Psychotic Disorder’, ‘Anxiety Disorder’and I am a Mental Health Ambassador and Peer Support Worker for Derbyshire Early Intervention in the Psychosis Service.
I specialise in ‘Drawing for Wellbeing’.
During my relapses I become highly creative and draw and record every moment of my experiences of Psychosis. Using the ‘Arts as Therapy’ helps me to cope with my Mental Health problems and I enjoy helping others with similar issues to have a platform for self-expression.
