Hello...

A very warm welcome to Recovery Rising Counselling Service, where you can connect, explore, reflect, grow, fulfil…...

I am trained as an integrative therapist, which means I am not limited to one therapeutic approach. Instead, I am able to choose from several approaches depending on you and your situation.

I believe that people respond to other people rather than titles or qualifications. I am someone who will create an environment where you can choose to talk about any topic without judgment and with care and understanding. I will offer you a safe space to create a connection based on trust.

Initially, we can complete a free brief telephone consultation. This offers an opportunity for you to discuss your issues and decide if you feel we can work together. We can also consider what mode of counselling you prefer, i.e. phone, online, in-person, or outdoor therapy.

Therapy with me...

I offer individual short-and long-term counselling, nestled away in a beautiful garden is our therapy cabin, surrounded by nature. Alternatively ‘walk & talk therapy’ is available, if you enjoy being surrounded by countryside, wildlife and farm animals such as horses, chickens, cows and sheep, then this could be for you.
Outdoor therapy can be especially helpful and can feel less intimidating as the client and counsellor work alongside each other, rather than sitting in close proximity. Nature can soothe and calm the mind, whilst exercise releases endorphins which are natural mood enhancers.

Creative therapy uses play as a way of helping children and young people to understand and express their thoughts and feelings. sessions can helps children to communicate at their own level using everyday play things. In play sessions, children explore their own creativity and express themselves using media such as: drawing, painting, water, clay, sand trays and role-play.
