Tanya Parkin Counselling and Eco-Therapy

Tanya Parkin Counselling and Eco-Therapy Eco-therapy refers to different ways of connecting with nature to help improve our mental and physical health. My role is to support, contain and facilitate.

I work with people one to one or in groups, through various mindfulness-based exercises outside.

Meet Tanya, who has been running eco-therapy sessions with some of our team here at Space2BHeard.

Tanya brings over 12 years of experience in holistic healing and therapeutic practices, including eco-therapy, which she blends with her counselling training to create a safe and supportive space for self-awareness and emotional healing. Her sessions help individuals reconnect with the natural world – and, in turn, with themselves.

Here’s a small exercise Tanya suggests trying:

🌱 Nature-Based Practice

When you’re next outside, pick one of your senses to focus on.
Choose a natural object in your surroundings and explore it using that sense for a couple of minutes.
Slow down. Approach it with a soft fascination.
Notice the texture, shape, colour, smell, or sound.
Ask yourself – does this object hold any meaning for me?
Thank the object, and take a moment to notice how you feel.

We're grateful to have Tanya bringing this gentle, grounding approach to our community.

I love being outside and engaging my senses, it helps me feel grounded and gives me some head space whilst at work. I nearly chose to do more admin, but felt like some quiet fresh air was what I needed.

Counselling has helped me be able to identify what my needs are in the here and now. If you feel you could benefit from deepening your self-awaresness and exploring how you can meet your needs, I have availability in my private counselling and eco-therapy practice 🌼

We’re proud to be offering trauma-informed drop-ins as part of the Changing Futures Programme, supporting adults experiencing multiple unmet needs.

In these sessions, we’re creating a calm, kind, and compassionate space, free of judgment. Together, we’re building connections, exploring mindful activities, and discussing therapy—what it is, what it isn’t, and how it can help.

These spaces are about empowering individuals to unpick what’s going on for them therapeutically, providing psycho-education, and supporting those who may be considering therapy as a way forward.

We’re really honoured to be part of this transformative programme, with Hull City Council.

You who let yourselves feel, enter the breathing.

Fear not the pain. Let its weight fall back
into the earth;
for heavy are the mountains, heavy the seas.
The trees you planted in childhood have grown
too heavy. You cannot bring them along.
Give yourselves to the air, to what you cannot hold

I've been quiet on here recently as I've been beavering away and studying hard to become a person-centred counsellor, and as the learning never ends, I am currently embarking on my interpersonal psychotherapy training. At least I love what I do ehy 😊

I'm excited to announce that my new website is now live, and that I'm offering more 1-1 eco-therapy and counselling sessions. If you're interested or know someone who is, please spread the word.

For now it's time for me to hunker down and get planning from the nest which winter can offer us.. so watch this space, and take a look at my website in the meantime 🍂

It is certainly feeling like spring now with the warmer temperatures, lighter mornings and the melodic bird song becoming increasingly louder. It is nearly time for the dreams seeds we've been tending to over winter to start sprouting. Are they feeling ready, or do they need a little longer under the cover of darkness? 🌱
