Jacqueline Marlow, M.A. ART-P

Jaqueline is a British National with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art from The University of Creative Careers (SCAD) and a Master’s degree in Art Therapy from The University of Derby. Jacqueline became a British licensed and registered Arts Psychotherapist in 2016.

Jacqueline joined Calvary Hospital as a bereavement counselor in 2020.
She provides bereavement counseling for the following children’s groups: Precious Moments for children aged 6-9 years, two coed Tweens groups for children 10-12 years, and a Young Teens group for adolescents 13 through 17 years old. To further assist the children and adolescent members, Jacqueline facilitates the Parents and Guardian Group, which provides space for adults to develop skills to support their bereaved children emotionally. Jacqueline also facilitates a nine-week Mindfulness and Movement in Grief group for adults.

Before joining Calvary hospital, Jacqueline worked as an Arts Psychotherapist in multidisciplinary teams in a cancer hospital to juvenile prison services. Here, she offered art psychotherapy as a way for traumatized and marginalized children and young adults to use art materials to make the unconscious conscious through color form and the space to process and name unbearable pain and experiences.

Her work has taken her to the Middle East and now the U.S. Working, studying, and living internationally has given her a unique perspective and experience of migration, separation, death, and secondary losses, which she brings to her work as a clinician.

Alongside her continued professional development obligations, Jacqueline maintains active memberships with the American Association of Arts Therapy, the American Counseling Association, The National Alliance of Grieving Children, and the Association for Death Education and Counseling. In England, she is also a member of the British Association of Arts Therapy, The Health and Care Professions Council, the Forensic Arts Therapies Advisory Group, and the Association of Black Psychologists.
