As a Natural World Therapist it is a privilege to be able to support people coming from all walks of life suffering from life trauma’s; challenge’s and experiences using therapies that provide a calm and grounding opportunity in an environment which helps to process thoughts and feelings and thus empower an individual to become the best version of themselves that they can be.
The pages on my web site explains the types of therapy available and will help you to decide if this feels like the right support for you.
Remember this is your personal journey and as such a very private as well as a potentially emotional one; It is important you find the right therapist and therapy for you and it IS OK to want to be sure this is right for you; I am happy to talk through any concerns you may have and for you to ask any questions that you need to in order for you to make your choice in this part of your life journey.
It’s YOUR choice; it’s YOUR journey & it’s also OK if this isn’t right for you but if you feel this is what you want for your therapeutic journey then I would be honoured to hear from you.
