Gates Counselling

Nature based counselling offers a variety of benefits. Not only is this a therapeutic space to explore what would like to work on in your therapy, the natural world offers another layer to the experience that is often associated with feelings of rest, resetting, a place of recovery and a returning to a part of ourselves that may have been lost. For more information please feel free to DM me or visit my website in bio.

Happy international Dawn Chorus day! 🐦‍⬛🦉The first to be discovered was a Chiffchaff, and by far loudest and most prominent was the Wren! It was an early start to the day, but so worth getting up at 5am to hear the birds! I made good use of my Merlin app to help to identify the birds through their songs and my Seek app to identify this tawny owl feather

A little fun using a Macro lens today in Thorndon. Getting into the detail. Which is a great metaphor for the early stages of exploration in therapy. Getting into the detail, getting to know who you are and how you are feeling and why. The natural world is an a calming and neutral space to be able to feel safe to explore. If you would like to find out more about nature based therapy sessions, you can book a free 15 minute telephone consultation. Link to my website in my bio. # psychotherapy
