As a qualified counsellor, I offer my clients a warm, supportive therapeutic relationship through which they can gain a greater insight into their issues, allowing them to find ways of managing their feelings, improving relationships and generally getting more out of life. My work is integrative with a base in Humanistic principles; this means that I believe in being genuine and non-judgemental an

Being empathetic – seeing the world through my client’s eyes – is an important part of how I work. I have over 9 years of counselling experience working with children and adults in a variety of settings, and have been privileged to work with people of varying backgrounds and with different issues. Reason’s clients come to counselling may include stress, relationship breakdown, bereavement, feelings of depression or anxiety but could be anything in their life that is causing them difficulty or suffering.

💊📜 Healing words (and places, and people) 💊📜
I was in London recently and during a busy and stressful day I made time to visit a place that had been on my wishlist for a while: The Poetry Pharmacy.

Located upstairs in Lush on Oxford Street, the Poetry Pharmacy was an oasis of calm; a place to soothe the senses and return to yourself amidst the noise and chaos of the city.

Inside is a beautifully curated selection of poetry books and individually made up 'prescriptions' of beautiful words for whatever the heart & mind are in need of. When you've chosen your medicine, a 'pharmacist' writes you a prescription for how and when to dispense the words of wisdom, which I found both delightfully whimsical and touchingly thoughtful.

I bought a 'wild remedy' because time in the city reaffirmed how much I need to be in nature. I can use the poetry snippets both for myself, with clients and on forest bathing sessions.

I had a lovely conversation with a poet and enjoyed an iced matcha in the calm and quiet space, watching the bustle of Oxford street shoppers below.

Thank you for returning me to myself 💚

If you went to the Poetry Pharmacy, what would you need a prescription for?

🌸 Beltane wellbeing in nature session 🌸
I nearly cancelled this event and I'm *so* glad I didn't!
Earlier in the week I just had 3 bookings, and I thought about calling it off. But then I remembered it's about quality not quantity with these events. Presence not profit. A few days later my bookings doubled!

We had the most beautiful time wandering slowly through the woods, pausing to listen to birdsong in a meadow of wild garlic, walking by the stream and making Beltane wishes with ribbons on the hawthorn tree (a Celtic pagan tradition).

After our woodland wander we enjoyed drinks and sweets treats at , did some seasonal journaling and pulled a oracle card to guide us for the month ahead 🌰🐇

Next nature/mindfulness events in Salford:
☯️ Qigong in the park - 3x mornings a month
🌳 Spring Forest Bathing - 17th May
🌳 Summer Forest Bathing - 14th June
🌞 Summer Solstice celebration - 20th June
🌳 Summer Forest Bathing - 19th July
🌾 Lammas wellbeing session - 2nd August
🌳 Summer Forest Bathing - 16th August

🌸 Beltane 🌸
It's that time of year when nature gets all frothy and sexy; spreading seeds, opening petals and making new life. Beltane is a celebration of this life affirming season and the creativity and abundance it brings.
Beltane is a cross quarter festival, sitting between the spring equinox and summer solstice. These points on the wheel of the year are opportunities to notice nature, slow down, celebrate & set intentions. Life is busy and time goes quickly, so we need these mindful moments to ground us in presence and connection with the rest of nature.

I hope you can find time this weekend to enjoy a walk in nature, seeing all the trees and plants newly in leaf, bud or flower. Afterwards, grab your journal and take some time to consider the prompts, adding anything else that feels relevant to the season or what's coming up for you.

On a Sunday I'll host my Beltane wellbeing event - a walk in the woods and journaling session in - there's a couple of spots available if you want a last minute ticket.

Do you have any Beltane plans? What have you been noticing in nature lately?

When a client seems stuck in their ability to change, it can be called "resistance". I don't like this term, it feels blaming, like the client is choosing to be difficult.

What's usually going on, in stuckness or ambivalence, is that change - even when objectively a good idea - feels frightening... better the devil you know 😈

For example, if you're anxious, you've probably had people advise you to worry less 😑 obviously that would be nice. But there's a reason you've developed a worry habit, and therapy can help you understand it's purpose and how to find safety in letting it go.

Change can be scary, or even feel impossible. But, thanks to neuroplasticity, we are all capable of it.

In therapy, I help you understand the pain of change through the lens of compassion, nervous system awareness & psychological theory.
We then explore small steps you can take to build confidence in your ability to try new thought processes and behaviours. You build tolerance for the unknown and feel safe doing things differently.

We go at your pace. You are in the driving seat, and I am your co-pilot.

Last weekend was...intense.

Context: I was in London for marathon weekend, with my mum & best friend. Through nobody's fault, all the plans had changed last minute. Big cities, crowds & sporting events are not my thing.

Preparation is key: I knew the weekend would be a lot for me, even without the last minute plan changes, so I thought carefully about what I could manage, what I'd need to take, where I could go to rest etc and communicated these things clearly.

Skills - self awareness, realistic goal setting, organisation, boundary setting, communication

During: I monitored my energy & capacity levels, taking nature breaks when needed. If there was something I really wanted/needed to do I made that a priority, whilst taking into account other people's plans/needs. When (another) plan went wonky I practiced grounding exercises, let my emotions come & go without (too much) reacting and calmly thought through the options available.
I nourished myself with lots of noticing nature, good coffee and tasty food. I drank lots of water because it was hot and was mindful about options for going to the loo! Little things like that, not taken care of, can really ruin your day.
Regents park was my sanctuary. In busy places I made an effort to look up and admire beautiful architecture, the trees above me and the gorgeous blue sky.
Watching the marathon, I saw so many moments of support, determination, celebration & love. It was also *very* loud & busy so I limited my time in that environment.

Skills - interoception, self awareness, compassion, communication, mindfulness, reframing, gratitude.

After: I journaled, reflecting on the highs and lows and anything I'd learned. On the way home I listened to music, & snoozed. I messaged my friends. The next day I took it easy and built rest & quiet into my day, knowing I'd need time to recharge.

Skills - self compassion, reflection, connection, unconditional permission to rest.

Whilst it was all *a lot* I had lots of moments of awe, calm & enjoyment. I came home v tired but also with a sense of contentment about how I'd managed.

Have you got any big trips coming up? How are you preparing?

Acceptance is hard because it inherently involves loss.

In accepting what is, we must let go of what we expected, what we hoped for, what we wanted or needed.

Accepting things as they are may mean we have to edit our story, our understanding of the world or even our self image.

Acceptance work is grief work. It is the beginning, middle and end of the process. It is fluid, flickle and sometimes fleeting. Ultimately, it is freeing.

Acceptance is a brave new world.

🌱 April Forest Bathing 🌱

We had a fresh, spring scented breeze, blue skies and soft, bright new leaves on our first Forest Bathing session of the year 🥰

This is year 4 of a year for free Forest Bathing at Clifton Country park, thanks to , & friends of

🦌We had a deer sighting (at the perfect moment when I was talking about deer!), lots of birdsong and abundant new life in the trees and plants around us.

🍵We enjoyed a spring herbal tea with ingredients from my garden & the woodland: 3 types of mint, nettle, raspberry leaf & bramble leaf.

💚 People commented on feeling grounded, peaceful and bright at the end of the session.

The sessions are popular and book up quickly, the best way to find out when more sessions are available is via my mindful events mailing list. To join, visit the events page of my website or DM your email address and I'll add you.

Moving through emotions in nature.
Thank you for giving me the inspiration to do some one-take content! The idea of editing all this stuff is exhausting, so I didn't, I just filmed it and stuck it together.
I know not many people will watch it because it's "too long" and compared to hot takes and sped up videos, it's "boring". That's kind of the point of it to be honest.
So, if you watched to the end, leave a comment and I'll send you a certificate 😜

Anyway, nature is wonderful and I hate my printer but not as much as I hate Trump/misogyny/racism/Farage/climate denial etc etc

And I might even do it on purpose.

Not because I'm a bad therapist or I'm being cruel. But because not having difficult feelings is not a realistic long term goal.

Emotional resilience is about being able to tolerate, soothe and move through pain, distress and upset.

When we see emotions as energy and information we can change our reaction to them and actually heal.

It feels like a paradox - in order to reduce the intensity/frequency of a feeling you need to turn towards that feeling. Not to become overwhelmed by it but to notice it, name it, feel it and release it. Sometimes many times over.

Of course you want to stop feeling anxious/sad/angry etc. I get it! That's natural. But the numbing, avoiding or resisting isn't working is it?

If you weren't modelled or taught emotional resilience, how could you know how to cope? The good news is that these are skills you can learn and this, combined with a healthy therapeutic relationship, is what creates positive and sustainable change.

If you're ready to do this work, I'm ready to walk the path with you. I have 2 spaces available for regular counselling sessions, weekly or fortnightly, in person (Salford) or online.
