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.

Perspective is Everything ❤️

I've felt quite frustrated and miffed lately
I had to cancel all trip to Spain
Where I was due to meet my son and family
I had to cancel a nourishing Retreat in Wales
I've now had to cancel a trip back to France
My Second Home ❤️

But as I sat Grumping
My inner child sulking
Shouting It's not fair!
My Adult self stepped in
Reminding me the value of Rest
Talking of slowing down gently

Often it's about perspective
How we view situations
And where we view it from
Our inner child or our adult state
Instead of I can't go its not fair
It becomes I get to Rest ❤️

Sure the child feels it's unfair
But the adult state can see its value
I'm listening to my body and resting
The longer I fight it the longer healing takes

So I'm able to rest and look back
At the incredible memories I had
Whilst in France for the summer this year
The peace The warmth The lakes The people
Knowing I'll get back there when I'm ready

When does your inner child jump in
Try to notice and pay attention
When you feel the child in you surface
What feelings does the child in you bring up

Mine is Unfairness when things aren't fair
That's a signal there are childhood wounds
When we work on these wounds
We stop being triggered so often
We're able to recognise the triggers
Name them and return to our adult self

But it's also OK to stamp our feet a little
We all have that inner child within us
It's how we tend to her that's important
My inner child got to look at photos
Of time in France and to remind her
We will go back soon once we've rested

Remember to nurture your inner child ❤️
And never be afraid of a little stamp and strop!

How does your Sunday Look?

This Tiny human came to play yesterday
And reminded me to Sit
As we sat watching Frozen
I was transported back
To my children's childhood
When we sat and snuggled
And the world slowed down

I remembered once upon a time
When my fourth child was 6 years old
I was exhausted and had forgotten
To put the wet clothes out to dry
His school uniform lay soggy in the machine

As I stared at it and burst into tears
What a failure I was as a Mummy!!
Something came over me and a realisation
We needed time together
The world and family life was too fast

I rang his school
Saying he had a Dr appointment
Biting my lip as I told the white lie
Then I grabbed my youngest child
And placed him on the huge sofa
We snuggled under blankets
Had chocolate brownie for breakfast
And created memories ❤️
While the clothes tumbled drying

Almost 2 decades later he still says
Remember when we had cake for breakfast

Sometimes
We need to give ourselves a break
As parents it's Hard to navigate at times
And taking a Day off now and then
Can be the best memories you create ❤️
Believe me Your adulted kids remember
They remember the feelings ❤️
The warmth The cuddles The closeness

Happy Sunday All ❤️

I think i was younger than 18 here
The Hair!!! ❤️ The Glasses!
But goodness me
I had no idea the life i was embarking on

The story before 18
Meant that by 6 years old I was mature
By 18 I was almost a 40 year old woman
So I did everything in Reverse!
I had my children young then travelled
Then lived alone taking Adventure in my stride

I left for London at 16 to be a Nanny
I married at 19 to start a family!
I had 3 children by 25 years old!
A marriage ended and a new chapter
A fourth baby a new marriage
A return to college to train
Holistics and Clinical Aromatherapy
Set up a successful private practice
More training over 10 years
A return to college to train as a counsellor
Trekked Peruvian mountains
Tentatively set up Willow Therapy
Losses Bereavements and Growth
More training spanning a decade
Travelling countries and exploration
Becoming a Grandmother

My 3 words to my 18 year old self:
You Will Survive ❤️
You Are Resilient ❤️
You Are Inspirational ❤️
You've Got This ❤️

Or perhaps I'd hug her and simply say
Thank you Sweetheart ❤️

What 3 words would you say
To your 18 year old self ❤️

We all navigate Chapters
Our Lives are lived in many ways
Some have more Chapters than others
We Grow We Learn We expand
But sometimes it's good to look back
And Celebrate the growth
And Thank all the parts of who we are

As Therapists we bring our whole self
Into the room with our clients
My own story lead me to support Families
And to work supporting children
Whilst helping parents navigate divorce

We Never know the journey we will take
We Never know how Resilient we can be ❤️

It's been a strange time recently
I've had to step back from work a little
Which has played into all manner of guilt
As therapists we often hold our clients
And their stories within us
Stepping back to pause
Placing ourselves first can be hard

But one thing I've learned from this chapter
Is the sheer value of Family and friends
In particular my adulted children ❤️
They have stepped up and In
Forming a Circle around me
And caring so deeply and carefully

When we first hold our new baby
In our arms we never think of them
As the adulting adults they will become
We see them as tiny beings
Needing care love support and nurturing
Yet some 30 plus years later here we are
The roles are reversed ❤️

So to All those parents now
Who are struggling the baby years
Who are bumping along the teen years
Who are wading through difficulties
It DOES change and it DOES get better

I waded many Teen years that were tough
Years that cracked me open wide
Years that left me doubting my ability
As a Parent and as a Mother
Yet......

Here I am decades later
Never prouder of my kids
For becoming the Adults
That I myself would want to be
Kind Caring Determined And Beautiful
The type of human you want to hold close

So to All you parents parenting
Keep going please 🙏
You will get there
And one day you'll look back
And say Wow We made it through parenting
And what amazing humans they became ❤️

Monday morning ❤️

When your Grandson decides
It's time to put the Pumkins away
And start getting Christmas ready!!

How early do you start preparing ❤️

Audacity ❤️
I'm sat reflecting on this word

It carried negative meaning as a child
How dare you have the Audacity!!

Yet here I'm reflecting today
As I sit 10 years after my mothers death
My Mother had Audacity in bucket loads
She went for jobs that were high up
She aimed high in all she did
She pushed limits and lived fast
She travelled far and wide
Meeting incredible people
She had volumes of Audacity ❤️

My Daughter
My incredible daughter has Audacity
I remember her going for an internship
When she was at college!
She got up at 5am did her shift at work
Then got a taxi to the train station
And a train to the other end of London
In Pekham she met Maria a designer
Who asked her what Uni she studied at

My daughter replied Bravely
I'm not at Uni but I'll do a better job
And I'm a good learner
Audacity right there ❤️
And she got the internship
The rest is history she learned so much

Sometimes we need Audacity
To grow To learn To move forwards

My Daughter looks like my mother
In many ways they have similar drive
I see it as an oserber of them both
Strong women forging their way forwards

My Daughter in law has Audacity too
She stands tall and has incredible drive
In the face of adversity and illness
She still pushes forward and has grown
Into a phenomenal woman to watch

So here's to Audacity ❤️
Grab it and own it by the bucket load
Don't see it as a negative but embrace it
Here's to my Mother and all that Audacity
She was the Queen of Audacity ❤️ 😍 💖

Thank you for leading the way ❤️

04/11/2025

Yes YOU ❤️ 😍 💖

What a Beautiful statement ❤️
Your Hand is an extension of your Heart

This left me thinking and reflecting
On how Actions speak louder than words

And also what happens
When Actions don't match words
When we hear someone
Say they will do something
But then the Action isn't carried out
We can be left frustrated or confused

So this beautiful picture
Of helping hands means so much
Do your Actions match your Words

Do you offer a hand to others
And do you offer that same hand
To yourself! ❤️
Are you kind compassionate and caring
To yourself when it's needed ❤️

And are you able to Accept a helping hand
That can be difficult at times for some
Accepting kindness and support from others

A sense of Community is coming together
To support one another ❤️
Leaning into others and also supporting
Community is something that we are loosing
In a world speeding by us with technology

How can you connect with others today
How can you create a sense of Community
And Who are your Community ❤️

As a New week opens up
Remember to pause where you can
And prioritise yourself within the day

Be Gentle and Compassionate
Wherever you can please
And remember that a pause
Can be as small or as large as you choose

It can look like staring out of the window
Looking at Birds flying by above
Or stepping outside feeling the cool air
Sitting with a book by the warm fire
Holding a hot cup of tea in your hands
Standing with your hands in soapy water
Simply allowing yourself to Daydream

The hilarious part of this post ❤️
Auto correct changed Bird to Burd to Turd!
I'm now sat imagining Turds flying above!
On that note Happy Monday 😊
And that clearly shows this is not AI!

I heard Tom Daley in an interview recently
He said:
- If someone knits you something
It means they truly love you - ❤️

I get so much joy from gifting
And each year I knit something
A blanket or a scarf
And yes it takes time
And yes they're all Wonky! ❤️
My children and Grand children
Have recieved these pieces annually

Each one is made with love
But more importantly it's the patience
As I knit I have no choice but to Sit

It's mindfulness in the making ❤️
Each piece has taught me patience
Each piece has offered up pride
Each piece is a part of me as I sit
Each piece is put together with love
Each piece says I prioritise You ❤️

So Thank you Tom
For honouring the Creatives
As we get closer to Christmas
And Creatives start crafting their wares
Please Remember a gift that is handmade
Carries so much more than Love ❤️
It's Time Patience Thought and Care
It's the Priorstising You in the moment

What will you be making this Christmas 🎄
From Food to Cards to Wrapping gifts
It's All a form of Creative Caring ❤️ 😍
Here's to ALL the Creatives out there ❤️

Grief Growth And Grattitude

As I move towards towards November
A significant Date approaches
It's Ten Years since my Mother died
It's Ten years since a Marriage came to end
Two pivotal moments that changed me
Setting me off on an incredible path
Of Grieving Growth and immense Grattitude

Grief is a strange thing
Deeply personal and insular
Turning us inward upon ourselves
It breaks us apart then seals us together
We Grow around our grief as it settles in us

It both shakes our world upside down
Then places us back together differently
We become a new version of ourselves
Covered with cracks flaws and shadows
Encompassing the grief that has become us

And then we simply continue Humaning
Wiser and Stronger in so many ways

One thing that we do well
Is we look for symbols to help us
For me it was Feathers 🪶 and Wings 🪽
Each time I saw a feather I felt it was a sign
Of connection and Love and it felt soothing
Wings became sacred and symbolic

In fact so symbolic 🪽 🪽
That I had my first ever tattoo after Mum died
My daughter came with me as moral support
Secretly she wanted to know if I would faint!

And the hilarious reaction from my eldest son
Weeks later he was chatting happily to me
When he looked down and held out my arm
What the Hell is THIS he shouted
I was suddenly reduced to a child like stutter
Trying to explain my newly etched tattoo
Oh how the tables had turned!!

We Humans cling to symbols at times
Seeing Magpies in numbers for Luck
Or Feathers Wings or Robins
There are many symbols that support us

My Ginko leaf came when a dear friend died
She had offered me a Ginko leaf once
From a tree in her garden in France
When she died I bought a silver Ginko leaf
Not knowing it represented friendship

My Wings symbolised more than angels
They symbolised Growth Freedom and Flight
And yes I did have days when I thought
Oh S**t it doesn't Rub off!!
But I'm forever reminded as I look down
That we all have Wings 🪽 to Fly
It's learning to use them that takes courage ❤️
And I'm Privaledged to work with so many
Who are learning to use their Wings ❤️

To All who are finding their own Wings 🪽
To All who are navigating grief in all it's forms
It does soften and settle as you journey on
You will grow around it and make peace with it
Be Gentle with yourself on the journey ❤️
