Counselling
Authentic, relational, empathic, unconditional positive regard.
I will meet you where you are when we start working together. I have the experience and knowledge to know there isn't one way to work with you, for you are an individual. Therefore I am invested in what you bring to your counselling and offer you my skills of what we do with this. We can work together to explore your early experiences and how you manage these in your present world. These early experiences can echo into our adult life whether you are aware of them or not. I will work alongside you to bring about awareness and allow space for exploration on how this has effected your life up until this point. By allowing insight into these current behaviours, by not judging them will allow change and for you to step into the present.
I work relationally, meaning I'm here to offer you a warm and safe relationship so this can translate into your everyday life. We can explore how you relate to the people in your life, the world around you and most importantly you.
Talking therapy is in my roots however new branches have grown showing me the importance of somatic therapy alongside this. Just as our roots hold us strong & steady, our branches sway in the soft breeze & turbulent winds to allow us to let go of our experiences. Moving our traumas through us & not staying stagnant in our roots. Somatic therapy can become part of our counselling sessions through TRE (trauma/ tension release exercise) or through ecotherapy sessions where we will take your therapy sessions out into nature.
Individual Sessions
I welcome you to explore your issues in a holding relationship where great depth and meaning can be sought. Often we feel isolated in our difficulties making it harder to reach out for support & that we're 'not coping' with our own situation. Allowing a trusting relationship with clear boundaries can begin to free you of these societal constraints.

Couples Counselling
Being part of a relationship takes commitment and work. Sometimes it can feel that you're not getting anywhere. Perhaps you're going over the same thing or maybe you've experienced loss and trauma together. I can walk alongside you both to support you to navigate what you feel you have lost.

The natural environment of the seasons, trees & land brings a therapeutic grounding like no other. Much research supports the benefits of being in nature so where better to take your therapy sessions.

Birth Reflections
I offer sessions to reflect on your birth or loss. This may have been last month or 20 years ago, there is no time limit on when you feel ready to reach out. During this session we can explore how you feel about your experience now and what you would like to do with this.
I support with a range of issues including: baby loss, pregnancy after loss, traumatic pregnancy, birth & postpartum, NICU stay, feeding difficulties, perinatal mental health difficulties. (This list is not extensive)
