Tailored Therapy Services

My therapy sessions are entirely personalised. By valuing your lived experience, I foster a safe, respectful environment encouraging authentic exploration and healing tailored uniquely to you. For some people, talking comes naturally. For others, emotions can feel difficult to put into words. When it feels helpful, I can gently introduce creative ways of exploring thoughts and feelings. These are always optional and guided by what feels right for you.

Sometimes words aren't enough.

For many people, talking comes naturally. For others, emotions, memories or experiences can feel difficult to put into words. There are times when we simply know something doesn't feel right, but we can't quite explain why.

When it feels helpful, I may gently introduce creative ways of exploring your thoughts and feelings. These are never about being artistic or producing something "good". They are simply another way of understanding yourself.

Creative approaches might include:

• Reflective writing or journalling 
• Working with metaphor and imagery 
• Values and strengths exercises 
• Drawing or simple creative expression 
• Using objects or cards to explore relationships or emotions 
• Mindfulness and grounding exercises 

These activities are always optional. Some people enjoy them, while others prefer conversation alone. We will always work in a way that feels comfortable for you.

The focus is never on the activity itself—it's on the insight, understanding and conversation that it may encourage.

Walk and Talk Therapy

Sometimes it feels easier to talk side by side.

Walk and Talk Therapy offers the opportunity to take counselling outdoors into the calm and restorative environment of nature.

Many people find that walking alongside someone rather than sitting opposite them can make conversations feel more natural. Being outdoors can also help reduce stress, improve focus and create space for reflection.

Walk and Talk Therapy may be helpful if you:

• Feel more relaxed outdoors. 
• Find it difficult to sit still for long periods. 
• Enjoy walking as part of your wellbeing. 
• Prefer talking while moving rather than sitting face to face. 

Sessions take place in agreed local locations where we have considered privacy, accessibility and safety. Although every effort is made to choose quieter routes, complete confidentiality cannot be guaranteed in public spaces, and we will discuss this before deciding whether this approach is right for you.

We will walk at a comfortable pace, with plenty of opportunities to stop, pause or simply enjoy a moment of quiet if needed.

Walk and Talk Therapy isn't about the distance we cover. It's about creating a different environment in which conversation can unfold naturally.

If this is not for you we can decide on what feels right for you.  Using different techniques through an integrated theory base, together we can explore what you feel is right.

Whether we meet face-to-face, online, in your home or whilst walking together outdoors, my aim remains the same: to provide a safe, accepting and confidential space where you feel listened to, respected and supported.
