Our Therapeutic Arts Practitioners

Wendy joined Kairos Arts back in 2017, drawn by the charity’s passion for supporting women and girls who had been sexually exploited and trafficked in India and Bolivia. Locally, Wendy has facilitated workshops with women affected by domestic abuse and trauma as well as working 1-1 and in groups with children and young people struggling with mental health issues and family issues. She is a dedicated advocate for the power of artistic expression to help understand and process difficult emotions but fully embraces the value of fun, laughter and play.

Wendy is married to Craig. Together they have six children, nearly all grown-up, and one ageing but beloved Working Cocker Spaniel, Charlie.

Debbie has worked in a variety of creative and design roles since graduating with a degree in Fashion and Textiles . She currently works in a local secondary school teaching art.  Debbie is married with three grown up children (two married) and two grandchildren and attends Freedom Church where she is part of the communication team.  

 Debbie has been part of Kairos for five years and has a passion to see people realise their worth and potential. She is part of the Kairos team that trained to become Therapeutic Art Practitioners and feels privileged to be able to support Children and Young People in this role. Debbie loves to walk, paint, pray and all things creative!
