Welcome to my website.
​
It's scary isn't it?
Just the thought of telling a complete stranger about your thoughts, feelings or life journey,
I remember feeling really nervous at my first counselling session, wondering what it was I was going to talk about or questioning, did I really need this? or was I just being soft!
Telling myself, I just need to get on with it and stop making a fuss!
​
And that whole thought process highlighted my main problem,
That I didn't think I was worth it!
I didn't understand the importance of validating my own thoughts and feelings.
Until I went for Counselling!
​
There are many obstacles in life that we need to overcome, and sometimes these situations can become overwhelming, cause anxiety and leave us feeling out of sorts, I am also aware that seeking this help is probably quite difficult and somewhat daunting and so I aim to make this experience as comfortable and as straightforward as possible for you by offering a safe, confidential environment where we can discuss you situation and needs and we can explore a range of methods using different skills and techniques to help you get the best therapeutic experience possible.
​
Seeing a counsellor should be as normal as seeing a Doctor or Dentist,
Just because the pain isn't visible, it doesn't mean its not there!

Walk & Talk Therapy
Walk and talk therapy, also known as outdoor therapy, involves conducting therapy sessions while walking and talking in a natural environment, offering a dynamic approach to counselling that can be beneficial for those who find traditional therapy settings awkward or prefer movement to facilitate processing emotions.
​
Here's a more detailed explanation:
What it is:
Walk and talk therapy takes traditional counselling sessions outdoors, often in parks, along coastal paths, or in wooded areas.
Benefits:
Movement and Nature: The combination of physical activity and being in nature can promote mental clarity and emotional processing.
Reduced Anxiety: Walking can help reduce stress and anxiety, and the fresh air and natural environment can be calming.
Increased Creativity: Movement can stimulate new thoughts and ideas, which can be helpful for processing emotions and finding solutions.
More Equal and Less Formal: Some clients find the side-by-side walking approach to feel more equal and less formal than traditional therapy settings.
Physical Health: Walking is a form of exercise that can improve physical health and well-being.
How it works:
The therapist and client walk together, either side-by-side or in single file, at a pace that is comfortable for the client.
The client is encouraged to share their thoughts and feelings while walking, and the therapist uses the same therapeutic techniques as in traditional therapy.
The natural environment can be used as a tool for therapy, such as by using nature-based metaphors or grounding techniques.
Ethical considerations:
Clients should be informed about the potential risks and limitations of walk and talk therapy, including the possibility of being seen by others and how these situations will be handled.
Confidentiality and privacy should be maintained, as in traditional therapy settings.
Who it's for:
People who find traditional therapy settings awkward or uncomfortable.
People who generally find it easier to talk when moving.
People who would benefit from the physical and mental health benefits of walking and spending time in nature.
