About me
I currently work in private practice offering psychotherapy and supervision, and lecture part-time at the University of Cumbria on their undergraduate and postgraduate courses. I'm also a committee member of the Association for Outdoor Therapy (AOT), and run workshops at conferences and events, nationally and internationally.
Both as a psychotherapist, and previously as an outdoor professional and a youth and community worker, I have worked in many different settings and roles.

About my practice and approach
I provide individual therapy, group therapy and outdoor therapy in Nottingham and Derbyshire. I'm also a trainee supervisor and provide individual and group supervision.
I work with whatever is important to you, supporting you to strengthen your resources, deepen your relationship with yourself and explore ways of healing and growth.
I have a relational, creative and embodied approach, and work in a holistic way, attending to the interconnectedness of ourselves (mind-body-emotions), relationships, systems and nature. I work from a strength-based and trauma-informed approach, integrating various different theoretical perspectives in my work, including attachment theory, polyvagal theory and ecopsychology.
I offer practical opportunities to work in a creative and embodied way, which can involve giving things a specific shape and form with objects, art materials, words, movements or gestures. By doing so, we may see things differently and makes sense of things that may have previously been invisible, intangible or difficult to talk about.
This process is unique for everyone and I will work with you to find a way and pace of working that feels ok and fits for you. No prior experience of therapy or working in a creative or embodied way is necessary. I am committed to providing a safe, ethical and reliable service that is responsive and flexible to work with you, at your pace and with your needs.
How to get started
Please feel free to get in touch, either via phone or email. I'm happy to arrange a free phone call.
If you are interested in working with me, we can arrange an initial meeting. This is an opportunity to share about your situation and background and what you would like to gain from therapy. It is also a chance for us to see if working together would be a good fit. There is no commitment or obligation to continue therapy with me afterwards.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Warmly,
Kirsty.
