Services to suit your needs
Creative Counselling
Sometimes it can be hard to express yourself verbally and so in addition to listening to you, I like to use creative activities to help with the self-discovery process. I sometimes use free writing exercises, such as journalling and story building. I also offer drawing, painting and collage, as well as other creative activities This will be led by your needs.
Breath Work and Meditation
Research shows that focused, conscious breathing techniques help alleviate stress and anxiety and help us to find inner calm. They can also be effective for releasing trauma, aiding sleep and improving health conditions. During sessions, I teach breathing techniques and guided meditation to help you arrive in a space to feel safe and more able to explore your thoughts and feelings. I will introduce this if and when we both feel it would be helpful.
Walk and Talk
Walking in nature has huge benefits to health, and sometimes being outside and walking together can help the counselling process. It can also help you if talking face to face feels difficult. Let me take you for a walk in Beddington Park where we can let nature teach us how to relax and how to be in the moment. We can do a mixture of indoor and outdoor counselling to suit your needs. I am happy to walk in any weathers, and will be led by your needs.

I am particularly interested in working with women and health. Research shows that women are more likely to develop auto-immune diseases such as lupus, fibromyalgia and types of arthritis. I am interested in how past trauma can relate to chronic illness, and how counselling can help release hidden stress and emotions. I also believe counselling can benefit women during menopause and other life-changing events. Using the teachings of Tara Brach and Gabor Mate, I will help you explore illness and disease as a process through which you can explore your inner relationship with yourself and improve your health.

I enjoy the therapeutic benefits of running and how it can improve physical and mental health. Talking whilst running can be a gentle and effective way to release deeply-held emotions and past trauma. For new runners, I offer a motivational and counselling approach. If running is something you wish to aspire to, then let me take you from the talking room and build up to a 5K run over the course of 10 weeks. The health benefits of the outdoors need no explanation, and Beddington Park is on my doorstep - a great space to 'be'.
