Willow Therapy Tring

Willow Therapy Tring A nurturing confidential space. Offering Counselling for Adults Children Teens Couples and Families. Willow Therapy is unique. Aling with Parent support sessions.

We are a private service located in Tring. We offer a haven of tranquillity tucked away off the bustling Tring High street. My aim is to offer emotional and holistic support to clients when life becomes challenging. People approach Willow Therapy knowing that they are entering a calming nurturing and safe environment. We offer counselling to adults children teens couples and families. The room is beautifully furnished to offer comfortable seating within a non clinical room. Working with children and adults we can use creative play ranging from dolls houses, soft toys, games and creative arts to natural stones and crystals. We work within the many areas of mental health and wellbeing. Working integratively we access Mindfulness, CBT and a psychodynamic approach to support clients. Willow has a small team of highly experienced and qualified counsellors who are dedicated to continued learning in order to provide best practice. We currently offer Room, zoom and telephone and sessions. When working I often draw on my past roles as a clinical practitioner specialising in palliative care and working with families as well as my work within holistic settings. I originally trained as a clinical aromatherapist and neuromuscular practitioner going on to teach. I then started my journey into counselling adding Family therapy and then my supervisor Diploma to support other counsellors in their work. Willow offers a high standard of support in a beautiful space. I'm proud to be the founder of a business that offers support to a growing local community taking GP and private referrals to strengthen mental health awareness. All counsellors are BACP affiliated and fully DBS checked and insured.

I'm sat on my plane waiting quietly
We have spent 3 days and 2 nights
In Nantes Airport snowed in!
The floor was hard night was loud
The company was new and wonderful

I've met some beautiful people
English people who live in France
French people who live in England
All accents and nationalities talking

Kindness prevailed throughout
My carry on case was carried on
By beautiful friendly Kindness
The laughter pursued as we sat
We humans are good at humour
In situations that can feel dire

And the cheering will commence
When we are de iced and allowed to fly!!
It's a lot like sitting in a jet wash!!
But on a great big aeroplane ✈️

So here's to All feeling wibbly or Wobbly
Look for the Kindness it's all around
In a smile in a gesture in a look ❤️
There's always always a silver lining
Humans doing what humans do best
Connection Community Kindness Care

Ps I'm desperate for a mattress
A warm fire 🔥 and a hot bath 🛀
And GUESS WHAT ❤️
I have an empty seat next to me again!!!
Come full circle from my trip out.........

It's been an interesting 24 hours
Apocalyptic type hours!

Planes cancelled
4 hours coach to another plane
Hitting snow storms and blizards
Cars skidding towards us erratically
Ambulances flashing on road sides

Once at said new airport
It went into lock down!
All hotels had No room at the inn
All taxis ground to a snow storned halt

I'm still here!
But what's fascinating is this
Human behaviour
After panick and angry comments
After cross voices settled
Humans got about being wonderful humans

They connected They talked
They cared for They laughed
They slept together side by side
Waking to pass water along
My own anxiety settled

I've met some lovely people
Some odd people and loud people
Some anxious repetative people
Some fabulous story teller people
We've all sat and slept on concrete floors
We've all listened to one another quietly
Soothed settled and calmed where we can

So here's to human behaviour
The hilarity of people sleeping in plant pots
Check in being commandeered by passengers
Who unplugged computers to charge phones

Here's to getting home safely for All
Here's to Community coming together
Here's to Accepting others just as they are

Some Winter wobbles to start 2026
Let's keep it Real and Healthy

We're all human
And being away from home
In minus 5 at times!
Has been interesting

Sometimes in life
When we prioritise space and time
All the emotions rise and surface
This is called Healing ❤️
But can feel deeply uncomfortable

Like the weather
Our emotions Rise Fall and Sweep in
Then Crash Bang Retreat and Waiver
Often leaving us bewildered and stunned
Hollow empty exhausted and spent

But just like the weather
The Sun comes out and fog lifts
Before the snow falls and ice hits
Then it melts to puddles washed away

Today we drove into valleys thick with fog
Then up to hills with sun burning through
Simply turning a corner brought new weather

So for those navigating grief
Or sadness troubles difficulties
Health bumps blips dives or crashes
Be gentle with yourselves and know
This too shall pass ❤️

I'm heading home soon to familiar turf
Minus 5 heading to minus 9
Feels way off my comfort zone 🥶
Grattitude for Nature's Beautiful scenery

The Empty seat and A little reminder
Just How Kindness works
The Universe Never fails
To encourage Kindness

I had a very smooth transition
From airport to airplane ✈️
As I sat quietly in the window seat
I heard a commotion in the isle
A young girl was trying to make her way
From the front to the back of the plane
Going against crowds standing in the isle

Passengers grumbled and grumped
As she attempted to get to her seat
I was trying to be kind she said loudly
Passengers grumped louder staring
Had she got on the wrong end of the plane

Suddenly I looked up
She was sitting in the end seat of my row
She struggled into her seat with bags
Onlookers tutting at her movements
I smiled calmly as we both looked up
The empty seat between us widening
As if it was greeting her with a kind sigh

I was only trying to be kind she said
Not sure I'll do it again though
My dad bought my ticket for me
I gave my seat at the front to an old lady
And I'm in her seat back here
BOOM Kindness bomb

Then I remembered hearing this girl
As we climbed towards the plane
Marching like worker Ants
Steep stairs to decent
This girl could be heard loudly
Saying she'd carry someone's bag
I heard the words Artheritis and pain
As I stood behind a corner listening
BOOM Kindness bomb

As we went to take off
I smiled at said girl who chatted happily
See we have an empty seat between us
The Universe always thanks Kindness
Then a coffee appeared mid flight
The old lady had sent it back as a Thank you

This beautiful soul sat merrily
Shocked and astounded at the Kindness!!
Now THAT should restore your faith
In Kindness and the ripple affect
And in our young people today

Heres to the 22 year old eldest of 6
Who quite simply has made my day
In fact made the end to my year
And the start to 2026 ❤️ a beautiful one

Back in the room for the briefest of time
Before heading off for a 10 day rest
France calls softly for space

What a powerful statement
Who are we when we aren't helping
For so many people this resonates
Helping others can often define us

Stepping away from helping
Means we have to focus on ourselves
That often involves healing too

How many of you
Feel this statement resonates ❤️
And can you sit long enough with yourself
To hear the silence and see the space

Remember ❤️ ❤️
Speed is often a response to Trauma

I'm on Zoom today for a few hours
I had to push myself to recall the day
Uncertain of the date and day due in part
To resting and reconnecting
With others but also with myself
Sat by a Fire with a dog at my feet
Simply luxuriating in loosing time

So here's a Thank you To you All
For Encouragement for Care for Kindness
For the support that is offered up daily
In comments and Kindness and support

I Love the job I have Crafted over time
But I'm eaqually aware of a growing need
To Self care and wrap myself up in rest
So I'll be taking a break from 31st December
The first time in a long time I'll be closing up
Completely off grid until 12th January 2026
No sneaky peaks at an iPad laptop or emails

So Heres to YOU ❤️
To Rest Self-care Self-awareness Accountability and Actioning
To stepping softly into a New Year
With a clearer vision and fresh Ideas ❤️

Anyone else!!
I'm known for sing to myself too ❤️

When I did a training course on self regulation
I discovered that humming to yourself
Is a powerful form of self regulation ❤️
Resetting all of those chakras into alignment

So chatter away and maybe once in a while
Sing a little tune or hum softly to yourself
It may well prove beneficial in many ways ❤️

There's powerful evidence that vibrations
Can change the structure of our cells
Which in turn creates change within the body

Singing Bowls Bells and Chanting 🔔
Are all historical ways to create a shift within

Vibrational Healing at its best ❤️

How is everyone doing ❤️
Christmas can be a strange time for some
Families coming together in all forms
Familes with missing pieces and people

This year my daughter took the batton
She did an incredible job hosting
After moving house 1 month earlier

It was a different Christmas 🎄
But it was a beautiful memory created
Of two families sitting together
Recognising how lucky we all are

Families are made up of many pieces
Puzzles crafted and created over time
Partners children friends and relatives
So however your Christmas looked
I hope you could pause for a moment
Reflect Stop Look Listen and Breathe

The tiniest moments make memories
And for those struggling this year
I hope you were able to gift yourself love
The time to stop pause and breathe
To step outside into Nature and connect
There's always something to be grateful for

Failing that there's always CHEESE 🧀

Merry Christmas
From All at Willow to you

Let the Fun begin ❤️
May your Bucks fizz be large
And your turkey fit in the oven!
Remember to ditch perfection
And go with the flow ❤️

My kids Love Piggies in blankets
I prep them the night before
Soaking in honey and rosemary

We always had pigs in blankets
For breakfast whilst sipping bucks fizz
Then pigs in blankets with dinner too
A child would always sneak in hopeful
Whilst I was prepping in a steamy kitchen
Waiting for a stray wrapped pig to nibble
There were always fights at the table
Pigs in blankets and Yorkshires the targets

These were the memories I hold
Of cooking a meal at Christmas
Preparing food for my family
Always started on Christmas Eve 🎄
As it did for me too as a small child
With my own mother prepping wildly
With a large glass of wine in one hand
And a potato peeler in the other

The hilarious memory of me as a kid
Being told to hairdryer the frozen turkey
In a huge bath filled with water!!
Because my mother forgot it in the freezer
Those memories are wild and funny

Food Cooking Meals all carry memories

So each year I still cook these piggies
And they find their way to my kids still
When our children are grown and flown
The Day can look different in many ways
But traditions can often carry on ❤️
And our children can scoop up these
And pass them on to their children

Whatever traditions you have ❤️
Soak them up Swim in them and Enjoy

A little giggle for Christmas Eve

New Reading Specs for a New Year
Looking Ahead with clarity ❤️
Seeing the smaller detail in life

What do you want to see more clearly
As you move towards a New Year ❤️

The older I get the more I see
Yet the older I get
The worse my eyes become ❤️

Certainly the older I am getting
The more confident I am becoming
At wearing more colour and quirkiness
And being more authentically me ❤️
Heres to colour creativity and confidence

Be your Beautiful bold authentic self
