Start Blossoming Therapy provides support for women feeling stuck in life, overwhelmed and fed up of always putting themselves last. Ready to begin?

Online video call sessions and walk and talk therapy in beautiful Woodland locations in Worcestershire and Shropshire. Welcome to Start Blossoming Therapy 🌿
Hi, I'm Amy - a psychotherapist helping women move from self-doubt to trusting their own voice again through gentle counselling and nature connection. If you're here, you might be:

- Exhausted from always putting everyone else's needs before your own
- Stuck in constant self-doubt and second-guessing every decision
- Feeling like you've lost yourself somewhere along the way
- Struggling with feelings of not being "enough" no matter how much you do
- Finding it hard to set boundaries without feeling guilty
- Looking for a therapist who truly gets the weight of people-pleasing

What I offer:
🖥️ Online therapy - compassionate counselling from your own space
🌲 Walk & Talk therapy - meaningful conversations in Worcestershire & South Shropshire's beautiful woodlands

My approach:
I work intuitively to create therapy that's as unique as you are. This isn't about generic worksheets or one-size-fits-all solutions - it's about understanding YOUR patterns and helping you reconnect with the wisdom you already carry inside. I believe you're not broken - you're just disconnected from your own voice beneath all the noise of expectations. I offer free 30-minute consultation calls to explore how we might work together. From self-doubt to self-trust - you don't have to walk this path alone. 💚

To start a sentence with “I need” can be incredibly difficult. Especially if you are used to listening to others needs, putting others needs above your own, holding others in their time of need.

Therapy is a space to begin practicing this sentence. Gently, in your own time, you can start seeing and actioning your needs in a way that feels comfortable to you.

No harsh “just say no” advice when it comes to boundaries, there's space to include you, your needs and your natural kindness.

If you need to find out who you are, or want to get to know yourself better, walk and talk therapy in the woodlands could be a perfect space to return back to you.

"What should I wear for walk and talk therapy?" - one of the most common questions I get from new clients.

The truth? You probably already own everything you need. Think about what you'd wear for a woodland walk, that will work!

The essentials:

👟Grippy footwear (old trainers work brilliantly)
🧥Waterproof jacket
🌦️Layers for British weather

No expensive gear required. A charity shop waterproof works just as well as fancy outdoor gear.
The most important thing? Good grip on your shoes. Some of the Worcestershire and Shropshire locations have sandy paths or uneven woodland terrain. Safety first, but it's really not as scary as it feels.

Come as you are, we'll work it out together if you're unsure about anything.

Questions about what to wear or bring? DM me or check out the complete guide on my website (link in bio). No question is too silly.

33 taught me that growth happens even in difficult seasons 🌑

Another year around the Sun, and of unlearning the "good girl" rules.
Courage is never the absence of fear, it's showing up anyway!

Special thanks to and my past and current supervisors who were the catalysts to my growth this year 🌱💜

The back-to-school transition brings up so much for the mothers I work with.

That mix of relief and guilt is more common than you think - and it's often the starting point for deeper conversations about rediscovering who you are outside of being everyone's go-to person.

If you're ready to explore this without judgment, I have availability for new clients starting this September. Walk and talk therapy sessions in beautiful Worcestershire & Shropshire woodlands, or online if distance is a factor.

We'll work together to help you reconnect with your own voice and needs - the ones that have been quietly waiting for you to notice them again.

September's energy of new beginnings makes it perfect timing for this kind of inner work.
You don't have to navigate this alone.

Free 30-minute consultation calls available. Link in bio or send me a message to get started.

New branding photos are here and I'm feeling all the emotions! 📸

Being photographed as a toddler mum, a recovering people-pleaser, and reformed ‘good girl’ felt very vulnerable. My relationship with my body has changed, being the focus felt uncomfortable, and letting myself be truly seen? That felt scary!

We're all on a journey to build a healthy relationship with ourselves, aren't we? Sometimes that means doing brave things that feel uncomfortable - like letting yourself be seen, flaws and all.

The magic happened because of who made this all possible. She got my vision completely - we bonded over everything from social media ideas to women's rights to our shared need to be amongst trees. She created a safe space where being seen felt like coming home.

This is your reminder that you deserve to surround yourself with people who really GET you - whether that's your photographer, therapist, family or closest friends. The right support makes all the brave things possible.

Building a relationship with yourself means showing up authentically, bravely, imperfectly. It's okay to feel uncomfortable being seen. The work is showing up anyway.

Thank you Kim for seeing me, celebrating me, and capturing who I really am ✨

What brave thing are you working up courage to do?

Have you ever had to hide your spiritual side to be taken seriously?

That deep sigh when you step into nature or that solid, safe feeling when you touch tree bark? That's not 'woo-woo' - it's your nervous system recognising safety and spiritual side feeling at home. At Wellness Woodland in South Shropshire, therapy happens in sacred space where your whole self - including your spiritual insights - is welcomed.

Ready for support that celebrates all parts of you? Book a free consultation call to see how we could work together, Link in bio 🌿

Save this if you've been searching for therapy that gets your spiritual side 🔖

Thinking about walk-and-talk therapy but have some concerns? Let's bust these myths together!

I hear these worries all the time, and they're completely understandable. If you've never tried outdoor therapy before, it can feel uncertain.

The truth is, walk-and-talk therapy isn't about being an outdoor enthusiast or having perfect weather. It's about creating a healing space where:

💜 a location that naturally calms anxiety

💚 Nature offers fresh perspectives and insights

💜Movement that helps us process emotions and feelings

💚 Side-by-side conversation feels less intense

💜 Your whole self is welcome

Starting July, I'll be offering these sessions in beautiful woodland locations across Worcestershire and South Shropshire. Each location has been carefully chosen for privacy, accessibility, and that special quality that helps healing happen.

Still have questions? I'd love to chat about how this might work for you. Book a free call in my link or DM me for more details.

I've been quiet lately, but for good reason... COMING SOON… Walk & Talk Therapy in Nature 🌿

Truth is, over the last few months I needed some time to step back and really think about how I want to work as a therapist and what I want to offer clients. And something kept calling me back to nature...

You know those moments when your mind finally slows down, you feel grounded and you can actually hear your own wisdom again? For me, that almost always happens when I'm outside among trees. So I’ve been working hard behind the scenes doing training, exploring some of my favourite nature spots and rebranding Start Blossoming Therapy🌸

✨This July, I'm adding Walk and Talk sessions to the services I offer. These sessions will be in beautiful natural spaces in the Wyre Forest area and South Shropshire.

These are for you if:

🌱Your mind is stuck in overthinking mode
🌱You're tired of doing everything for everyone else and never having time for you
🌱You sense the true you is being drowned out by outside noise
🌱Being in nature already helps you feel more like yourself

This will be a new, more creative and intuitive way of working, full of meaningful conversations while we walk or sit in nature, letting the natural world offer its gentle wisdom and perspective.🌀

Curious or have any questions? Send me a DM with "nature therapy" and I'll make sure you're first to know when bookings open. I will still be working online for those who prefer evening sessions or aren't local.

Today is , a day often about reaching out for help, reflecting how far we have come and supporting others who are struggling at the moment. Today I thought I'd share a photo of my bumble bee tattoo, and on the face of it, doesn't seem to have much to do with mental health... However I got this tattoo at a time I was struggling, my life was changing drastically and I lost sight of who I was and who I wanted to become.

It is said that aerodynamically a bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, its body is too big and its wings too small, but the bumble bee doesn't know its limitations so defeats the odds and flies anyway. The bumble bee is about not letting fear or assumptions stop you getting to where you want to in life, and that you can achieve all you wish to with a bit of self belief.

5 years on, this tattoo continues to remind me how far I have come just by believing in myself and is a record of my achievements and how much I have overcome to be the person I am today. I hope this bumble bee can be a testament to others too, and no matter how dark or hopeless you may feel at the moment, there's a future self who is thinking back to this time and celebrating how far you are going to go.

I have many favourite quotes by Brene Brown but this one spoke to me today. Counselling can feel uncomfortable at times, especially when exploring areas of shame or regret. Exploring these areas can bring about great growth and strength. Yes its scary, but it's another step in the direction of self acceptance and self compassion.

There are a huge amount of benefits to having your counselling sessions online. You can access counselling from anywhere with an internet connection. From your sofa, your garden shed, even your parked car, just make sure you cant be overheard. Having counselling from your home can feel more comfortable for a lot of people. It also can be more confidential if you are worried about being seen going to therapy. If you are struggling with illness, injury, isolating or are differently abled online counselling can be a great lifeline. You have a huge amount of choice in counsellors and therapists by going online, no longer restricted to those just in your area you can find the perfect match for you. You are much less likely to bump into your counsellor out in the real world if that's a concern for you when they are half way across the country. There's also no need to worry about traffic and no need to pay for travel costs. Without a commute its often easier to fit into your schedule between work, school runs or other commitments. Counselling online can be a more affordable option too, counsellors have less overheads meaning some provide more affordable sessions.

Online counselling isn't for everyone, some find face-to-face counselling irreplaceable, for others, online counselling may feel different. There will always be Pros and Cons for both. Overall I think how wonderful it is that we now have choice, online counselling is a lifeline and a easy way to access therapy for those who felt like they couldn't before.
