As set out in my Consultancy in Creative Health, I offer tailored support to artists, healthcare professionals and organisations to re-imagine purpose, redefine collaboration, and co-design meaningful creative health projects.

👩‍🎨 For Artists:

  • I can help you map ideas, plan ahead, and design projects tailored for hospitals, community settings or health services.

  • Learn to work with vulnerable audiences, including children in paediatrics — using theatre-inspired bedside performance, storytelling, puppetry, digital media — with care and empathy.

  • Gain support for self-care and wellbeing when working in emotionally demanding environments.

🏥 For Healthcare Professionals & Organisations:

  • Explore new, compassionate ways to communicate with children and young patients through bedside theatre performance, storytelling, puppetry, digital media, interactive arts, making hospital stays less frightening and more human.

  • Benefit from an evidence-informed, ethically grounded model of creative health practice that supports emotional wellbeing, builds trust, and eases anxiety in clinical settings.

  • Build long-term partnerships with artists, community stakeholders, and healthcare teams to co-create impactful and sustainable creative health programmes.

Why Now:
Recent cross-sector research and policy reports confirm what many practitioners have long believed: embedding arts into health and care settings improves wellbeing, reduces anxiety and loneliness, and supports preventative health.
Creative health is not a “nice-to-have”. It’s becoming vital to build more humane, person-centred care systems.

If you’re an artist, a hospital, a charity, or a healthcare organisation and you want to explore how creative practice can enrich your care, engagement or wellbeing work, let’s connect. I’m open to conversations about partnerships, workshops, training and co-designed projects. Email me at psextou@gmail.com

Testimonials

"I lead a storytelling practice-based bedside project using Dr Sextou’s bedside performance research methodology with puppets to tell hospitalised children stories, improving the children’s wellbeing during their hospital stay . After attending a presentation and a workshop conducted by professor Sextou I was able to gain more complex insight and a better understanding of various theatre practices adapted to the hospital environment."

"This is an opportunity for me to highlight your work as hugely significant to the work we do and how it impacts my own professional practice at the hospital ".

"Your support has been invaluable for us, especially for me as coordinator. I had almost given up at some point until you told me that delays with communication with hospital management staff happens everywhere and one must be resilient!"
