About me
Hello, I am an experienced therapist and supervisor of twenty years working outdoors and online, supporting mental health issues such as the healing of trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety and depression, as well as people who seek their own personal development.
I predominantly work outdoors in a natural setting working within an ecological and psychological frame. This approach incorporates walking and/or sitting together in woodland and open meadows holding an awareness of the place we are in. This might lead to working creatively, and at times I may invite exercises to support different perspectives to be engaged with.
In addition to working in person outdoors, I offer online sessions for those who are further afield. This is predominantly offering Lifespan Integration therapy and supervision for counsellors and therapists.
Training, qualifications & experience
For over 33 years I have worked in the field of human relations and personal development. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was an outdoor development trainer working with young people deemed at risk, a youth worker, and ran creative workshops including clowning, art and dance. Since qualifying as a therapist, I worked in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), lectured (associate)at Derby University and have been in private practice since 2008.
I am trained and qualified in the creative arts therapies (2003), dramatherapy (2005) (hcpc registered), lifespan integration therapy (2011) and nature-based therapy (2018), as well as creative approaches to supervision (2014).
