About me
I am a Clinical Psychologist and I offer outdoor therapy in a natural setting, as well as indoor therapy in my woodland clinic. My approach is based on developing a caring and compassionate therapeutic relationship with you, as this is the most active ingredient for effective therapy.
Life brings with it inevitable twists, bumps and road blocks. People's early experiences, life events and the ways of coping they developed to survive these, can leave them feeling overwhelmed or stuck. This may lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, panic, depression, low self-esteem, low self-worth and post-traumatic stress and difficulties in daily living, relationships and work.
I deliver outdoor therapy as nature is healing for our mental and physical health and wellbeing. Through nature we can learn more about ourselves and how we want to live our lives. And the natural environment can offer us tools to enhance the therapeutic experience and our outcomes. Whether you prefer the comfort of the indoors or the freedom of the outdoors, therapy with me should be both freeing and transformative.
I am passionate about providing people with a safe space to explore and work through the difficulties they are facing. Whilst navigating to a new healthier way of living focused on improving quality of life and overall wellbeing.
