I do a mix of delivery. Online or telephone work normally in the evenings (Wed - Fri), with exceptions for those such as carers who require am. Usually day time sessions are usually reserved for those doing equine or eco therapy - walk n talk at Wareham (Wed - Thurs, occassional weekend day). Fridays in person work in Dorchester office from noon until 4pm.   

As above, I do a combination of delivery. In person, either in a chiropractic clinic in Dorchester or outside at the end of a Forest with a small herd of horses, or a circular walk through woodlands to connect to nature in all seasons and weather. The outdoors becomes part of the session, where animal and nature signs become significant. I work online and over the telephone for those perferring the convenience of being at home, usually this method is reserved for the evenings, but there are exceptions. I work with flexibility for those working shifts, and those not requiring weekly sessions anymore.

I have specialised in Inner Child Therapy using modalities such as Transactional Analysis (TA), psychosynthesis and somatic shamanism which includes Internal Family Systems (IFS) to understand more about the psyche and the connection of mind, body and soul. I work in nature to support embodiment and connection, particularly after lockdown isolated us and still impacts. I also work alongside my ponies who are good mentors in being in the present moment, calming the nervous system but remaining alert to changes in the environment. I use matrix reimprinting and Emotional Freedom Technique to support therapy when talking alone is not enough which is similar to active visualisation. I am a counselling tutor and qualified science teacher so psychoeducation is a big part of my work, as I believe sharing knowledge aids understanding which empowers people. We can't always change our life circumstances, but we can find ways to manage these times and increase resilience.

Before our first session, I offer a 15-20min consultation to check in and see if we click and if the way I work is a good match for what you wish to work on. The first session we get straight into what you wish to work on. There is a check in at the start and at the end of the session, so you can review where you feel you are and if you want to book another session. 

I work in person, both room based (Dorchester) (Fridays noon to 4pm) and in nature (Eco and Equine Therapy, Wareham) during the day (Wed to Fri). Online and over the telephone usually in the evenings (Wed to Fri).  

I am an accredited counsellor, supervisor and tutor of counselling skills. I have a private practice in Dorset, UK and work with clients in person and remotely. I have specialised in inner child work for adults and am trained in humanistic and transpersonal/pyscho-spiritual modalities. 

Alongside counselling, I offer somatic shamanism, emotional freedom technique and matrix reimprinting. 

If this suits the type of counselling that you use and the method of delivery. Please note that I am not two years post qualification as a supervisor for trainee counsellors. 

The first session is usually exploring what you need from counselling and a way of supporting this. Some people have specific goals, whilst others just need a confidential space to process our thoughts and feel our emotions. As I am a qualified science teacher and counselling tutor, I do provide psychoeducation readily to empower your perception.
