About me and my therapy practice
I’m offering talking therapy in person, by phone or online. I am also offering the opportunity to get out in nature with walk-and-talk therapy by the water, on the beach or coast path.
I am a ÌÇÐĹÙÍø registered Level 5 qualified Person-Centred Counsellor. I was inspired to take this route through my work with The Wave Project and my own ADHD diagnosis. I have successfully delivered 100 hours of counselling, in person and at an NHS medical centre, and am now setting up my own private practice.
Talking face-to-face is the regular way of taking part in counselling and for many the most convenient. However, sitting inside and talking doesn’t suit everyone. For some people, being outside in nature and walking side by side on the beach or coast path makes it feel easier to open-up and talk.
Having spent years as a lifeguard, coastguard volunteer and surf coach as well as a keen runner and outdoor enthusiast, I’m now bringing it all together with nature-based talking therapy.
If you, or someone you know, could use a space to talk; I’d love to help.
