Ash Bridge Therapy

Celebrating three years of Ash Bridge Therapy today. 📹 Videos are of a woodland and lake in Bolton, the sky is grey and it’s raining. The captions on the video say “Seven years ago I started training to be a psychotherapist,five years ago I met my first client and three years ago today I set up Ash Bridge Therapy. It’s such a privilege to do this job. I often ask the people I work with how they will celebrate what they’ve achieved by coming to therapy. With that in mind, I’m marking and celebrating today with chocolate pancakes for breakfast, a walk in the rain and a dance round the kitchen to my favourite playlist. Happy birthday to Ash Bridge Therapy - I’m excited about what the next year will bring”.

A few moments for some calm today

Deciding to have children or not, and then what comes next is deeply personal and important - there isn’t a one size fits all. Sometimes we need to know that what we’re feeling is valid, it’s ok, and to sit with someone who won’t judge us as we explore our own unique experience. As a trauma informed therapist, this is what we can do together. Get in touch for a free 30minute call today

It was such an impactful experience this week to be in person at the learning about all things maternal. Infertility, miscarriage, pregnancy and birth complications, post-natal anxiety and depression, maternal rage, and intersectionality throughout are all so common. If you’re experiencing any of those, you are not alone

Today marks two years since I opened Ash Bridge Therapy!

Reflecting on the past two years has been really special today. I've been thinking about the people I've met, the journeys I've witnessed, finding a therapy space which is warm and welcoming, and the growth I've had as a person and a therapist. It really is a privilege to do this work.

I wanted to mark the day by sharing my new logo - showing the connection between the Ash tree as a symbol of rebirth and healing, and the bridge as a symbol of overcoming obstacles and moving forward.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the past couple of years. I look forward to what the next year holds.

Grateful for the shade and connection to nature that my lunchtime walk gave me today. Before setting off I took a minute to think about what I wanted from the walk and I realised I wanted to let my thoughts wander and give myself space to be inspired by the environment. It was just what I needed, I finished the walk with a much clearer head and with my body feeling calm and refreshed.

Great training today with “With the Earth in Mind”. I loved the format of online and outdoor exercises (these are my two favourite pictures from my garden). It gave me space to think and practice how to bring ecological working and an outdoor mind into my work.

New blog post.......

When I thought about the name for my therapy business, it was important to me that it reflected my roots, my love for nature and my hopes for the future.

Really wonderful morning spent with on a Spring walk at . John, who led the walk, was knowledgeable, patient and friendly. We spoke about identifying trees and plants, the history of the area and the mental health benefits of being outdoors and volunteering in such a beautiful place

One of the things I've heard from people I've worked with is how apprehensive they've felt coming to the first appointment. Part of that is about no knowing what the room will look like, where they will be sat and what's in the room. My face to face appointments take place in safe, warm and welcoming rooms, which become our space.

It's where we can build a relationship, where all emotions and feelings are accepted and where you can take steps to understand yourself.
