As a child I found peace, adventure, connectedness and joy exploring the nature around me when I didn't know how to express my big feelings. I recall jumping rivers, playing in fields, cloud watching and collecting conkers. Nature has always been my safe space and my healer when times have been tough and throughout my childhood, this helped me greatly. Naturally this continued to be my go to as I hit obstacles on my journey and as an adult I have researched why it worked so well for me and the true power nature holds.

Nature has therefore been a big part of my therapeutic practice with most sessions taking place outdoors. I see the elements of nature, ever changing, ever growing…. much like us. Maybe that's why I relate to it so much too. Nature provides amazing metaphors when you don't have the words e.g a tree weathering the storm could represent intense emotions .... but also... surviving, steady as the storm passes. A hidden path could spark a feeling of uncertainty, fear or excitement of what's ahead... I invite you to explore those feelings safely in the presence of the natural world. My connection with nature has transformed over the years with experience and study, I am strongly drawn to the ways we can use nature to heal ourselves. To recognise...our own power. 

A common struggle for many people is feeling isolated, disconnected, or emotionally fragmented from others. - Nature shows us that we are part of something larger. We are all connected, even when we don't see it or if we feel broken. 

Every part of us is meaningful and worthy of love and compassion. My intention is to remind clients of this. You are not alone.
