BACP accredited integrative Counsellor, Dynamic Interpersonal Therapist (BPC) and qualified Supervisor (Level 7) with over 10 years’ experience in charities, the NHS and working outdoors.

I offer supervision to trainees, qualified counsellors and other pastoral roles and also work within a counselling training organisation.

I offer supervision sessions online or in our counselling room in Delph, Saddleworth or outdoors in various locations across East Manchester and West Yorkshire.

I offer an initial half hour online session free of charge to help us decide whether we would like to work together.

BACP accredited integrative Psychotherapist with over 10 years’ experience in charities and in the NHS (BPC Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy) .  I currently offer outdoor therapy in Saddleworth, Oldham.

Outdoor therapy can be helpful for many of the same issues as indoor therapy. Being outside in nature offers physical benefits and moving around can help us think more freely and creatively. Many people find outdoor sessions help them feel calmer and more connected to the world around them. By paying attention to our surroundings, we might notice things that give us inspiration, provide a different perspective or help us understand some of the issues we are facing.

You can choose how you would like to use each outdoor therapy session, depending on how you are feeling, the weather and what you want to get out of the session. We might choose to walk and talk for the whole session, sit in a particular spot or do some activities using our senses focusing on our surroundings.

I am a BACP accredited Psychotherapist, a British Psychoanalytical Council Accredited Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy Practitioner and a certified Ecosensory Practitioner. 

I offer an initial half hour online session free of charge where we can talk about what you might be looking for. I will ask you questions about your experience outdoors and any health requirements so we can consider which places might be appropriate to visit.

If you then would like to find out more, then we will arrange an initial paid session outdoors, so you can experience the location, get an idea of what outdoor therapy might be able to offer you and discuss a potential contract. If we both want to go ahead with this, then we would agree some further dates.
