Hello and welcome, thank you for taking the time to read my directory profile.

Join me for outdoor and walk & talk sessions in beautiful, calming nature. Your brain and nervous system will thank you for it!

What is counselling? 

I am often asked these great questions. Sessions with me are not a one size fits all, they are tailored to your individual needs where we can look at the potential root cause of issues for meaningful, lasting, positive change, not just the symptoms. Solid foundations for mental stability along with nervous system regulation and flexibility are essential for everyone but are often not yet in place for various reasons, this is also at the core of sessions with me.

Counselling provides you with a supportive, confidential and safe environment where you will be valued and listened to in a respectful way. Family and friends can offer support but for many reasons it's often useful to take it away from those around you where you can fully open up and say what you really feel with someone who is not connected to your personal or professional life.

An effective form of therapy, it can help you make positive changes to your life and deal with issues that may feel overwhelming or are causing you emotional pain, unhappiness or stress, helping you to gain more insight into understanding yourself and your problems whilst finding solutions that are right for you.

Who I am & how I can you support you:

The relationship with your counsellor is the most important part of it. They can be the best therapist in the world but if there isn't that connection and trust it won't work, find someone else. Here is a little about me for now and more importantly, how I can support you.

I am an experienced counsellor, clinical supervisor and trainer, working from a Person-Centred modality whilst using techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Attachment Theory and The Rewind Technique for trauma (PTS/PTSD/CPTSD) to support each person in the best way for them. I have experience counselling a wide range of issues including low self-esteem, confidence, grief, loss, depression, anxiety, stress, specializing in trauma and abuse. I believe that everyone has the ability to reach their unique, full potential and lead a fulfilling life in a way that is right for them.

Equine Assisted Learning and Therapy is connecting with beautifully intelligent and intuitive horses to create a deeper level of understanding about our emotions, interactions and behaviour. Proven to be especially beneficial for trauma and for those looking to improve confidence, teamwork and leadership skills.

Equine assisted therapy and wellbeing retreat days are coming soon. The perfect way to relax and recharge in nature.

Your Mental Wellness is a fabulous, online version of my mental health awareness and wellbeing training sessions in easily accessible mini and intensive courses. The perfect way to achieve and maintain mental stability to reduce the likelihood of reaching crisis point, helping you to navigate your own mental health.
