Creatively

Some people feel at ease expressing themselves creatively, while others may find creativity more challenging. Wherever you are on that spectrum, creativity is always welcome here, and it can often be a liberating way to explore your thoughts and feelings.

In our sessions, creative interventions might include collage, painting, working with clay or pastels, or even using sand. In counselling and psychotherapy, these techniques are used simply as tools — to support exploration, encourage expression, and open up new ways of thinking.

It’s important to note that this is different from art therapy. If art holds particularly strong emotions for you, if you have experienced severe trauma, or if you are looking for therapy where art is the central focus, I would recommend working with a qualified art therapist, as that may be a better fit for your needs.

Walk & Talk

Sometimes being outdoors can make it easier to open up.  Walk and talk therapy takes counselling outside of the traditional therapy room and into natural surroundings.  Moving side by side, rather than sitting face to face, can feel more comfortable and help conversations flow more freely.

Sessions might take place in a quiet park, along a woodland path, or in another outdoor space where you feel at ease. The pace is gentle and always led by you — there’s no need to worry about fitness levels or distance.

Walk and talk therapy can bring many benefits:

The calming effect of nature can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.

Gentle movement often helps to process emotions and thoughts.

Being outdoors can inspire fresh perspectives and a greater sense of freedom.

It can feel less intense than being indoors, especially if you find eye contact difficult.

Just like in a traditional counselling session, we focus on what matters most to you. The walk simply offers a different environment that can support reflection, self-expression, and healing. If the weather is unsuitable, or you prefer to stay indoors, we can easily return to a room-based session instead.

Your Space

Counselling in your own home can provide a sense of comfort and security, making it easier to relax and engage with the process.  For some people, particularly teenagers and children, or the elderly population, being in familiar surroundings feels more accessible than travelling to a therapy room, and it can help reduce anxiety around attending sessions.  Home-based counselling offers the same professional support and confidentiality as any other setting, while allowing us to create a therapeutic space that works for you. 

If you feel you need home-based sessions we can discuss a plan tailored to your needs.
