Spotted this beautiful fella on our walk round the farm this morning, having his breakfast! Blackberry picking first thing on a Monday morning feels such a calming way to start the week. Happy September everyone! ❤️❤️

Walk and Talk Therapy is becoming increasingly recognised for the amazing benefits it can offer to clients on their therapeutic journey. Being out in nature has a clinically proven physiological effect on us. It reduces blood flow to the area of our brain dealing with the fight or flight response (stress), and increases blood flow in the areas associated with empathy and connection with others.

I offer Walk and Talk counselling sessions around our farm near Chulmleigh, and I also offer sessions indoors and on Zoom. For further info please click on the link to my website: https://www.authenticyou.uk

Please feel free to get in touch if any of this interests you.

If someone is questioning their alcohol intake then it is a clear indicator that something needs to change for them. According to Public Health England after the first lockdown in England, the number of people drinking more than 14 units a week increased, and has remained at these levels since.

In this engaging talk, Jolene Park shares her experience of gray area drinking — the kind of drinking where there’s no rock bottom, but you drink as a way to manage anxiety and then regret how much and how often you drink. Regardless of the cause of anxiety or discomfort in your life, and regard...

We all have vulnerable times in our lives when it’s ok to ask for support.
Struggling with your mental health does not mean you are weak, instead it may mean that you are actually connecting to your emotions possibly for the first time.
Taking the first step and asking for help can often be very difficult but the rewards can be life-changing.
