Benefits of Counselling
I can offer you time and space to work through your problems. Therapy can help you to gain a different perspective on problems and issues. Working with a therapist to explore thought and emotions can help you to make sense of why you are thinking and feeling a certain way. Through talking you will have the opportunity to reflect and process your feelings and thoughts at your own pace. Going through this process will help you to develop self-awareness and personal growth.
Services
Please see below for services that I offer
Walk and Talk Therapy
Walk and Talk therapy takes the traditional counselling session outdoors in nature. Working outside can be especially helpful for those who don't have the opportunity to get out into nature very often. These sessions take place at specifically planned routes. If you have any questions about this type of therapy, please contact me for further information. The cost of these sessions is £45.
Online Therapy
I offer online and telephone sessions from the comfort of your own home. The benefit of this method is flexibility of time and location. This enables me to offer counselling sessions throughout the UK. The cost of these sessions is £45.

In person therapy in a comfortable modern environment, based in central Lincoln. The cost of these sessions is £45
Head Inside Outside
Benefits of Walk and Talk Therapy
Walk and Talk therapy encourages physical activity which benefits both physical and mental health. It is a form of bilateral stimulation which is a repetitive movement which helps balance left and right brain activity. Being outside releases endorphins and is generally mood enhancing, it lowers blood pressure, boosts immunity, speeds up digestion and improves heart health. Mother nature has so much to offer us
Rewind Therapy
What is Rewind Therapy?
How does it work?
Rewind Therapy is a highly effective intervention used for those who experience PTSD. It is known as closure without disclosure. What this means is that you can overcome past trauma without having to disclose it to your therapist which can be re-traumatising for some clients. Rewind works by stopping involuntary recall which could manifest as nightmares, flashbacks, hallucinations and ruminations.
Rewind works by bringing your voluntary recall under control. It's like filing your memory away in a filing cabinet until you chose to open it. Studies show that rewind is more successful than EMDR and CBT and is often completed within 1 or 2 sessions. It can be used for:
Car accidents
Rape
Sexual assault
Medical trauma
Armed assaults
Burglary
Bullying
Natural disasters
Accidents
What is EFT?
Emotional freedom techniques also known as EFT or "tapping" involves gentle tapping of the fingertips on the skin. It is a form of psychological acupressure on the meridian points used in acupuncture without the invasive use of needles. It is a evidence based technique which is simple to use and can be used on a host of issues including anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, trauma, stress, addiction, tension headaches, insomnia, sports performance, frozen shoulder and pain including fibromyalgia, issues around food and limiting beliefs. There are a number of demographics where the use of EFT has been studied including students for performance and exam stress, veterans, pain patients, athletes, chemotherapy patients and phobia sufferers. EFT has been found to me as or more effective as EMDR and CBT with many clients only needing four sessions. If you are experiencing any of these conditions EFT could be the tool for you.
