The Therapeutic Space: Yurt, Nature & Coast

I have lived in Collieston for many years and feel a deep connection to this landscape. I know that life, much like the North Sea, can feel wavy and unsettled. I chose to practice from the Yurt because it provides a quiet, safe sanctuary away from the noise of everyday life.

• In the Yurt: Nature is a constant companion; you may see horses in the surrounding fields, offering a quiet, grounded presence to our sessions. Chickens also may be roaming around.
• Walk & Talk: If you prefer to be outdoors, we can use local, risk-assessed coastal routes.
• Online: I also offer sessions online for those who prefer the comfort of their own space, or live afar.

Specialised Approaches

• Creative Exploration: While my work is primarily talk-based, I hold a Practitioner Certificate in Therapeutic Creative Arts and can incorporate creative tools if requested.
• Single Session Therapy: A focused, one-off session for those looking to work through a specific issue or gain immediate clarity.
• Translation & Language: My experience counselling at GREC and completing the Working with Translators course has given me a deep sensitivity to the nuances of language. I am mindful of how we express our internal worlds and the importance of being truly understood, regardless of the language or medium used.

Private parking at the gate. I meet you there then we walk up to the yurt through the garden.
