As well as giving you space to talk about your past and present experiences, I may also invite you to use some of the techniques and tools below:

🌿slowing down and using the senses to notice the external environment

🌿inviting in breathwork, mindfulness and movement practices

🌿somatic sensing (i.e. what sensations do you notice in your body?)

🌿working with story and image cards

🌿finding images and metaphors in the natural environment to express and explore your lived experiences

🌿creating artwork - using objects, art/craft materials - to deepen your exploration

🌿developing simple rituals to mark or celebrate transitions and other processes

You don’t need any experience of working in this way. It’s important for me that you always feel honoured, respected and in control. So if something doesn’t work for you, that’s OK. We move on and find something that does.

I work in woods in North Uckfield. It is possible to park at the entrance to the woods. It is also within 5-8 minutes’ walk of a bus stop on the Tunbridge Wells to Brighton bus route no 29 and the Uckfield to Gatwick bus no 500. There is no toilet but wild weeing is more than acceptable.

I very much want to offer my clients what they need. So I offer a range of types of sessions.

These include:

• regular 60 minute sessions (£80)

• regular 90 minute session (£115)

• 2-hour session (£150) for an ‘Emotional MOT’, single issue focus or introduction to this work

Longer sessions allow time for the nervous system to settle and for deeper exploration to unfold. Please get in touch to discuss what would best meet your needs.

Please wear sturdy footwear and bring waterproof and warm clothing if it is raining or in winter. In the summer please bring sun protection and be be prepared for sudden weather changes.

Therapy outdoors still happens if it is raining. If the rain is torrential or it is windy enough to be dangerous, I will let you know as soon as possible and offer you an online session.

I have completed a risk assessment for the venue and the activities. Please let me know if you would like to see a copy.

To be creative is to bring something of ourselves into what we do with energy and excitement: planning projects, making things with our hands, designing rooms/gardens/parties, communicating, exploring and using new technologies, etc.

So I expect you really are creative without realising it. People often mix up creativity and artistry. We may not all have artistry in what we do, but we are definitely all creative.

No, not at all. My work is collaborative and it is really important to me that you feel comfortable in the therapy space, I will explain everything to you as we go and my invitations to try certain activities are just that - invitations. It is absolutely OK to ask questions or decide you don’t want to try something. We just move on - no judgements or pushiness.
