My working hours are 7am - 7pm Monday to Friday.

Nature-Based/Walk-and-Talk Therapist

Shame and Identity | Depression and Anxiety | Addiction | ADHD

From my experience working in a diverse range of roles including third sector mental health services, addiction treatment services and previously as a park ranger in the nature conservation field, I have come to appreciate the awe-inspiring role that the natural world can bring to our attempts to find meaning, acceptance and connection in our lives.

My down-to-earth, friendly and relatable style is enhanced by the natural surroundings in which our sessions will take place, allowing you to feel relaxed and safe enough to share your problems, without fear of judgement.

With a particular interest in supporting people to move beyond core experiences of shame, self doubt and identity issues, as well as helping people to create or enhance their relationship with the natural world, my role is simple -to help you be who you want to be.

There is a growing body of evidence that therapeutic interventions in the natural world can help with a range of issues. I have particular interest and experience in working with:

• Shame and identity
• Depression
• Anxiety
• ADHD
• Addiction
• Emotional Disconnection
• Relationship Difficulties

As well as professional experience of working with the above, I have lived experience of mental health issues, addiction recovery and adult ADHD.

I primarily work from a person-centred modality, where appropriate drawing influence from other schools such as gestalt, CBT and psychodynamic psychotherapy, with an open and relaxed manner that allows for the work to develop organically between us and our natural surroundings.

My first session is free of charge - effective therapy is almost entirely dependent on the connection between the therapist and client, and so I believe that having the chance to test this out through a lived experience without the added pressure of expense is really important.

Simply choose a time that works for you, indicating when prompted that you are seeking an outdoor session. You will then receive an email confirmation for the booking, following which I will be in touch with 24 hours to confirm the location of our meeting.

During the first session we will explore the difficulties that have brought you to therapy. Then together, we will establish what your aims and expectations from this process are.

Working hours 7am - 7pm Monday to Friday.

I work both online and in outdoor spaces in the South Birmingham area. 

Indoor face-to-face and home visits available at selected times upon request.

I am down-to-earth, friendly, and relatable so that you can feel relaxed and safe enough to share your problems, without fear of judgement. I have lived experience of addiction recovery and adult ADHD, and practice in an open and relaxed manner. 

With a particular interest in supporting people to move beyond core experiences of shame, self doubt and identity, my role is simple -to help you be who you want to be.
