About me
Hello there,
My Therapy firm is called Between the Trees Counselling, and I have a stunning Therapy Nook called Pondarosa, at Bransford Court Community Farm. We offer walking therapy, in person therapy with a cup of tea from our apothacary and a moments peace.
I am an Integrative Therapist utilising various modalities including Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Humanistic Theory. Along with my private work with adults, I also have 15 years’ experience of working with young people in education settings.
The common reasons that people may approach counselling are for support with worries, low self-esteem, feeling stuck in a life that does feel authentic to who they believe they could be, alongside high anxiety and burnout.
I also see many people who are choosing to move away from marriage and long term relationships that are no longer serving them, and it is a pleasure to support them through the intrepid journey of creating a new life and embarking on a discovery of potential yet to be realised.
I have contracts working with young people within local education establishments and I am qualified in Autism Education Support and commonly will see a myriad of the above in my Autistic clients with a sense of need to explore themselves existentially. In this context, I also have experience with working with clients with profound depression, self-harm and suicide ideation.
During sessions, I am able to work with a Trauma Informed approach. We will often set gentle, achievable goals that the Client looks forward too and will be empowered by. I work holistically with an awareness of diet, sleep, current work load and stresses as well as historical timelines of events that matter to the client. Commonly, I will also look at dream analysis and a deeper exploration of the Client using Transactional Analysis and strength finding work. Clients can then start predicting how they may react to new situations that feel safe and validated in those moments as well as acknowledging their growth and take pride in this.
I am a huge supporter of using art in therapy to facilitate communication and growth especially in self-esteem and social communication, thus promoting secure attachments, a sense of self and an inner resilience that can positively impact the rest of the Clients life.
I offer Online appointments via Zoom, For in person appointments, Our centre is based at Pondarosa, Bransford Court Community Farm, Worcestershire.
Between the Trees' Counselling also host outdoor monthly workshops using folk craft and Women's circles to explore connecting with nature and ones intuition. We are also lucky enough to regularly co host with practitioners of Art and creative Workshops, Bohemian Jewelry making, Drum Circles, Drum Birthing, Reiki, Meditation, Yoga, Story telling, Sound baths, exploration of Folk and Celtic practices indigenous to the UK.

Member organisations
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.
