What I can offer

Talking Therapy

Therapy isn’t just for a crisis – it offers a non-judgemental space where you can process challenging life events and get support during life transitions. Your therapist will encourage you to put words to your experiences, feel your feelings, help you organise your thoughts and gain perspective when faced with difficult decisions.

Talking therapy can help you make sense of your past and its impact on you and your relationships in the present.  It will help you understand yourself better, notice patterns of behaviour and learn new skills that you can apply to everyday life. Your therapist will challenge and help you grow as a person so you can create meaningful changes and live a more fulfilled life.

WALK & TALK – an alternative approach

If you don’t like the idea of sitting in a therapy room, try Walk & Talk! Walking side by side with your therapist, may be more comfortable for you and the perfect option If you prefer an open, more relaxed environment, providing you with a breath of fresh air while discussing your thoughts and feelings.

Walk & Talk combines movement, time in nature, and counselling, making it a popular choice. Movement supports the therapeutic process by releasing painful emotions and tension stored in the body. Engaging our senses while working through emotional experiences further creates a sense of grounding and body-mind connection.

Studies have shown that time in nature prompts the release of endorphins, creating a natural high inside the body.  Walking improves circulation, increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the organs, which contributes to clearer thinking while lowering blood pressure and stress levels. For people who work in an office all day, time in nature can improve concentration and creative thought processes and ease feelings of isolation.

Your issues are in your tissues – Therapeutic Yoga  

Yoga can be a valuable addition to talking when we are stuck or struggling to make progress in therapy. We may understand the root causes of our difficulties and know what we need to change yet are unable to do so. Our emotions simply weigh us down and get stuck in our bodies. As hard as our brain is trying to think us out of the situation, it’s getting nowhere. In these instances, it’s helpful to use the body to change the mind.  Emotions need motion – therapeutic yoga encourages us to notice the physical sensations attached to our emotions in our bodies, to stay with them, accept and feel them rather than pushing them away and finally let them pass by moving through them.   Mindful movement helps us to ground ourselves in the present moment allowing us to explore sensations, thoughts, and emotions without feeling overwhelmed. Conscious breathing, which regulates the nervous system, further reduces anxiety, and enhances emotional regulation. Simple yoga poses and breathing exercises are effective tools that can be used outside therapy sessions to manage stress and improve mood.
