I offer counselling to teens, adults and older adults. I was a school counsellor for over 2 years where I worked with young people aged 12 and over, I have experience of working with Cruse Scotland specialising in bereavement/grief/complicated grief and I currently also co-facilitate a monthly bereavement support group which I helped set up 5 years ago. I also have specific experience working with military veterans and blue light service professionals.
Outdoor therapy, also known as ‘walk and talk’
We meet outside where we walk, or sit, in nature in a peaceful location around Perthshire. There are many beautiful walks and areas which can accommodate a confidential therapy session. There are many benefits to being outside, in nature, with fresh air around us, no matter the time of year . It may be that you enjoy being outdoors, or that you would find sitting across from someone a little awkward, walking and talking can be more relaxing and comfortable. We would meet or talk via telephone, or on-line, for at least 1 session prior to this commitment.
The pace of the session would be set by you and we can be as active or inactive as you choose. We can walk or we can find somewhere comfortable outside to sit and have our session, or it can be a combination of both. Outdoor sessions take place at a mutually agreed location and the standard session is 1 hour. Longer sessions are available upon request. Why not get in touch to find out more about how outdoor therapy could benefit you?
Walk and Talk would not be suitable if you were in great distress.
Corporate Counselling
Are you a business or organisation that would like to provide counselling for your staff? Managment that can recognise when staff are having a difficult time, either in their personal life or work life, are more likely to have productive relationships with their employees. If you would like to support your staff please get in touch to discuss your requirements. We can work with single sessions or blocks of counselling, usually between 6 to 12 weeks but this can be tailored to your needs. Counselling can be provided in the workplace in a suitably private space provided by you or I can provide a room with an additional charge.
