Minnow Aspinall

I work currently work Wednesday Thursday Friday 9am  - 6pm

My practice will normally close for all or part of the school holidays.

I offer a variety of settings for my therapy, outdoor, indoor and online.

Walking Therapy - Â£50 per 60 minute session

Working together outdoors we can experience the healing effects of the natural environment, some gentle physical exercise as well as the freedom and space to speak about the issues which bring you into therapy. I tend to use local woodland, if you have any other preferences we can discuss alternative locations. 

Talking Therapy - £50 per 60 minute session

I offer a lovely, relaxed space where you will feel held and safe where we will initially discuss the issues you want to deal with, often several issues will be present at the same time. We will gradually build a holistic picture of your life, looking at your past, present and perceived future. We can explore all aspects of life; emotional, intellectual, physical, spiritual, work, home, relationships, friends and family. 

If you prefer to work online we can use Zoom.

Couples, Family and Other Relationships Therapy - Â£70 per 60 minute session, £90 for a 90 minute session

Working in my therapy room, I offer a chance for couples/family members/other relationships to work together using a structured approach to find solutions, to facilitate clients to be heard by one another and to have a safe space to tackle difficult conversations.

The main focus of my work is to build a trusting relationship where clients can feel safe and heard. I aim to work flexibly to accommodate client’s other commitments whilst also encouraging commitment to the process. The majority of my work involves talking therapy as well as the use of some gentle creative interventions when it feels helpful. I will signpost you to books and other self care practices if it feels appropriate.

Once you have made contact we can arrange a free 15 minute phone call or Zoom to briefly chat through the issues which bring you in to therapy.

I will send you my short client questionnaire to fill out so that once we meet for the first time face to face we are ready to begin our therapeutic work together.

I work Tuesday to Friday 9.30 to 5pm (Term time only) I am currently able to take on new supervisees offering a low cost supervision during my supervisor training with Re-Vision London.

I have been practicing as an integrative counsellor in dorset since 2018, setting up in private practice in 2020, I have worked with adults, children and relationships, face to face, online and whilst walking in the stunning Dorset countryside.

I am so happy to now be able to offer supervision, I have benefitted from incredible supervisory support throughout my professional life from my own supervisor/s as well as peer and group supervision.

My current training in ‘Supervision with Soul’ at Re-Vision offers in-depth ‘training which brings together the professional standards of good supervision with the depth and quality of a trans personal perspective that honours the life of the soul’. My supervisory training provides an integrative approach, enabling me to supervise across a range of theoretical orientations.

I work from my characterful cottage in the heart of Bridport, often accompanied by my talented therapy dog, Cosmos. We can also look at taking our work outdoors and I can always offer online if distance is an issue. 

We can have an initial 15 minute, free of charge phone call to discuss what it is that you want from supervision and to find out a little about your own training, modality and practice. This will give you the opportunity to ask any questions, and we can work out if we will be a good fit to enter into a supervisory relationship.

I will send you my documents via email, these include a supervisee questionnaire, a contract and my directions and payment details. So that when we meet for our first session we are ready to begin our supervisory work together.
