Welcome to Between the Trees' Counselling

I am an Integrative Therapist utilising various modalities including Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Humanistic Theory. Along with my private work, I also have 5 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. 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. ​

​

It takes a huge amount of courage to begin a therapeutic journey. I wish you all the best in yours.
