About me

I am a passionate and committed counsellor drawing on my deep connection with nature to provide a service with the natural capacity to hold, soothe, and rejuvenate the body, mind, and spirit.

Do you feel much better when you spend time in nature? This is because we have a deep connection with nature - when we start to understand the metaphors that nature presents to us then we gain a better understanding of ourselves on a deeper level.

Are you perhaps feeling overwhelmed, stuck between a rock and a hard place?

I will help you to nurture your own personal growth, health, and wellbeing, blossoming into abundance and the best version of yourself.

The heaviness of life cannot prevent the power of nature from supporting you on your journey, however heavy or limited you may feel at this time.

My lived experience brings me to this place where I feel empowered and proud to be able to offer a service that is tailored to your needs, no matter what your struggles might be.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am an Integrative Counsellor, meaning I can personalise and tailor my interventions with care and understanding, where you will work alongside one of the most compassionate and empathic BACP registered therapists in Devon.

I am also able to offer a cosy indoor space in Newton Abbot, should you prefer to begin your journey towards better wellbeing indoors.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
