About me
You finally stop… but your mind doesn’t.
Even when you sit down to rest, your thoughts keep going planning, replaying, holding everything together.
From the outside, you may look as though you’re coping. But inside, it can feel hard to fully switch off.
This is something many people experience when they’ve been carrying pressure for a long time. Stress, overwhelm, responsibility, and life changes can leave the mind and body feeling constantly “on”.
Walk-and-talk counselling in calm outdoor spaces
You might recognise this if you:
- Feel constantly mentally busy
- Struggle to switch off or fully relax
- Feel overwhelmed, even if you’re still managing
- Are carrying a lot of responsibility at work or at home
- Are going through stress, burnout, or life changes
- Have already explored ways of understanding how you feel, but haven’t quite found something that fits
If you've recognised yourself in some of these experiences, a free 30-minute consultation can be a gentle first step. Together we can explore what's been feeling difficult and whether working together feels like a good fit.
I offer a calm, safe, and supportive space where things can begin to slow down, allowing space to reflect, process, and gently begin to address the experiences you’ve been holding for a long time.
My approach is integrative and grounded in nature-based, walk-and-talk counselling, which for many people feels less intense than sitting face-to-face, while still offering space to reflect, process, and breathe at your own pace.
Many people find it easier to talk whilst walking side-by-side than sitting face-to-face in a therapy room. Being outdoors can offer space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with yourself at a pace that feels manageable.
Alongside this, I am an integrative counsellor offering evidence-based counselling, specialising in nature-based, walk-and-talk therapy. My work supports emotional wellbeing, resilience, and personal growth, and is particularly suited to people who haven’t felt at home in traditional, clinical therapy settings.
Many of the people I work with have tried counselling before and found it helpful in some ways, but not quite the right fit. They may experience anxiety, low mood, stress, or the effects of smaller, cumulative life experiences, and often feel disconnected from themselves or overwhelmed by approaches that stay purely “in the head.”
My work is integrative, trauma-informed, and guided by current research in mental health and neuroscience. Sessions are tailored to each individual, offering a calm, respectful space where therapy can move at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Being outdoors can help reduce pressure, support nervous-system regulation, and allow reflection to emerge more naturally.
Alongside outdoor sessions, online counselling via Zoom is also available when needed. Above all, I aim to offer a warm, supportive, and professional space where clients feel understood, honoured, and gently supported towards greater balance, connection, and wellbeing.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have over eight years of professional experience working in mental health across a range of settings, supporting individuals with diverse needs, backgrounds, and life experiences. My early work as a young carer and volunteer within mental health charities shaped my understanding of the importance of compassion, dignity, and meeting people where they are values that continue to underpin my practice today.
I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor, trained to work flexibly and responsively rather than through a single, rigid model. My training draws on a broad range of evidence-based and relational approaches, allowing therapy to be carefully tailored to each individual’s needs, pace, and learning style. I work from a trauma-informed and neurodiversity-aware perspective, with a strong focus on safety, collaboration, and respect.
My practice is informed by current research in mental health and neuroscience, and I am committed to ongoing professional development to ensure my work remains ethical, effective, and up to date. I engage in regular supervision and reflective practice, recognising these as essential to providing high-quality, responsible therapeutic care.
Alongside my clinical training, I have developed specialist experience in nature-based and walk-and-talk therapy. Working outdoors allows therapy to move beyond purely cognitive approaches, supporting nervous-system regulation, embodiment, and emotional processing in ways that many clients find more accessible and grounding than traditional clinical settings.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I work with a wide range of issues, including:
- Anxiety and stress
- Depression and low mood
- Emotional overwhelm and burnout
- Trauma and the impact of cumulative life experiences
- Low self-esteem and confidence
- Difficult life transitions and change
- Grief and loss
- Relationship difficulties
- Feeling disconnected from self or others
- Identity, meaning, and life direction
I work particularly well with people for whom traditional, clinic-based therapy hasn’t felt like the right fit. Many of the clients I support describe feeling restless, disconnected, or constrained by sitting indoors and talking, and are drawn instead to movement, space, and being outdoors.
This approach is often well suited to people experiencing anxiety, depression, or a sense of disconnection, especially where coping strategies that stay purely “in the head” haven’t felt enough. Working in natural environments allows space for reflection, regulation, and connection in a way that feels more embodied, grounding, and accessible for many people.
Clients who value movement, nature, and a more relational, flexible approach to therapy often find this way of working supportive and meaningful.

I recognise that access to therapy can be affected by financial circumstances. For this reason, a limited number of reduced-fee sessions are available for people on benefits or in low-income employment. These are offered on a case-by-case basis, depending on availability.
If cost is a concern, you are welcome to raise this during the free 30-minute consultation. We can discuss options openly and consider whether reduced-fee sessions may be appropriate, without any pressure or obligation.
I offer a small number of reduced-fee therapy spaces (£25 per session) for individuals who are currently caring for a loved one. These limited spaces are available to support carers who may otherwise find accessing therapy difficult.

Further information
I understand that reaching out for counselling can feel daunting, particularly if previous support hasn’t quite felt right. My intention is to offer a space that feels calm, respectful, and genuinely supportive from the very first contact, with careful attention to safety, pacing, and what feels manageable for you.
I offer a free 20-minute consultation to help you decide whether this approach feels right. This gives us time to talk through what you’re looking for, explore how we might work together, and get a sense of whether there is a good therapeutic fit. There is no obligation to continue, and no pressure to commit.
Therapy with me is collaborative, but it is also active and engaged. Alongside empathy and understanding, I may at times offer gentle challenge where it feels helpful and appropriate. This is always done thoughtfully, with care, and in service of your goals. I remain mindful of power dynamics within therapy, working to ensure balance, transparency, and respect, while keeping your needs, wellbeing, and growth at the centre of all the work.
