About

Me

I am a Qualified Neurodivergent Affirming Counsellor, and am Accredited by the NCPS. I have over 16 years of lived and professional experience working with Neurodivergent Individuals and their families. I hold a BA (Hons) in Counselling, and I am  currently undertaking a MSC in child and adolescent mental well-being.  I am also trained in nature and creative therapies, telephone and digital text therapy, and walk and talk therapy. I offer remote based Counselling, and work creatively and integratively with children, adolescents and adults. I offer a range of sessions, which can be tailored to meet your individual needs.

 

At The Spectrum Tree I understand that reaching out can be a difficult decision.  I offer a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and options no matter your situation. I believe that each individual is unique and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs.

About
01.

I offer individual, family, and couples Counselling, which can be conducted remotely. These sessions can provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. I use a person-centred approach and integrate a range of therapeutic techniques to help you gain insight and develop coping strategies.

02.

Nature therapy, which is also called ecotherapy, is based on the concept of using nature to help us heal, especially psychologically. I am able to support you to incorporate aspects of Nature based therapy into your therapeutic Journey.  This may be in the form of using nature based forage in sessions, or working through a creative nature based mindfulness exercise, and much more.  I am also able to support you to utilise creative aspects within the session, such as small world, nesting dolls. paint, art and more. All of which can also be conducted remotely. I offer 90 minute Creative based sessions, to enable the enhancement of an immersive creative activity.

03.

Traditional face to face Counselling is not for everyone. I offer Remote Based Counselling, which can make Counselling accessible for all. This may enable you to access Counselling in a way that is more suited to you needs, and this may be via telephone, online platforms, or text and email based chat. When working remotely, it is still possible to incorporate all aspects of creative therapy, such as CBT cards, small world, and more, all in the comfort of your own home, or wherever you choose to be. During these sessions, you are free to move around if you wish.
