Mother Nature time to sooth the Nervous system
As spring settles into its subtle and gentle pace I am excited to start offering my Walk & Talk Counselling sessions.
These are gentle, slow walks in Nature together reflecting and being with whatever you are struggling with at the moment.
The body is our sacred vessel in this lifetime and as it is soothed and nourished by movement and fresh air, there is a sense what Jung spoke of as, what supports you when nothing else supports you’.
Mother Nature is an ever healing presence and as we spend time in her nurturing company a feeling of settled grounding often settles in.
The nervous system is greatly supported by time outside and walking activates the parasympathetic nervous system often referred to as the ‘rest and digest’ state. This in turn helps emotional processing and slows breathing to relieve stress.
As Julia Cameron, author of the Artist Way, writes; ‘A day at a time, a walk at a time, even a single step at a time, my sad and entangled life began to sort itself. I say sort itself because all I did was ‘walk through it’. I have been walking ever since.’
If this resonates with you, and your body and soul are calling for healing time in Nature, I invite you to book at Free 30-min initial chat to meet and connect.
A Time to Pause and Connect with Yourself deeply
Struggling with anxiety or feeling low? Navigating a difficult time in your life at the mo?
I offer a compassionate and warm space to explore what is coming up for you at the moment.
Taking the time to really listen and express yourself in an empathic and energetically held space can be deeply healing and empowering.
My work is inspired by Thomas Moore, who wrote 'Care of the Soul', along with the teachings of James Hillman and James Hollis.
My approach is a depth psychology one which means that the process is one of making the unconscious conscious.
Whether this is through dreams, imagination, creativity it always aims to connect with the essence of our being which the ancient Greek philosophers called our Soul.
If this speaks to you, don't hesitate to get in touch.
I offer sessions in-person near Penzance or online.
Soul Care Counselling
As a Psychosynthesis therapist, I sit with that there is a life transition happening for you.
Although painful and uncomfortable, a butterfly is being formed from the caterpillar. This in-between can be an uncomfortable and uncertain place, which is where talking to a trained professional can help.
However, I hold that a new version of you with more freedom, authenticity and self-acceptance is emerging from the darkness of the pupa stage.
In our sessions we explore your present in a creative way, allowing intuition, symbols and archetypes to guide us deeper into healing, awareness and reflection.
Storytelling, painting and visualisation techniques can be powerful allies, supporting us to befriend and listen to untold tales within.
Get in touch to book a FREE 30-min session. A chance for us to connect, discuss any concerns you might have and explore the best path forward for your unique needs.

Treat yourself to a day of creative play time and soul nourishing connecting with one of the most magical places of West Cornwall. Zennor has a strong mythical atmosphere inspiring creatives for centuries. During this gentle time together we will walk the land,
immerse in story and myth, then connect to our inner creativity to play and explore visually what place, legend and your inner longing would like to bring into being.
The day will include:
~Walking with the magical land of Zennor to gather
inspiration and gentle soul nourishment
~Story time with local myths and legends
~Meadow picnic lunch (weather allowing)
~Intuitive experimenting and playing with colour, texture,
motif and mark-making
~Time to share and connect with fellow creatives
(Lunch and materials included)
This is a time to restore, re-connect and fill up your cup
through time in nature, creativity and intuitive painting. We will explore how
mark making, colour immersion and texture creation can be a healing and
inspiring self-care.
No need to be an artist. Just a desire to play and experiment with brush and colour.
As a spiritual and creative therapist I frequently see the deep and beautiful process of play and experimentation. It often brings about a deeply nourishing and restorative connection with ourselves on a soul level.

Chiron -Your Unique Healing Journey
Curious about the archetype of the Wounded Healer?
Keen to understand what supports your own unique healing journey?
In this informal workshop we will dive into where Chiron was in the heavens at the time of your birth. The placement of Chiron in the natal chart gives us clues to what might be deeply uncomfortable and tender as you travel through life.To decode this message can be deeply validating and comforting in itself.
However, the placement of Chiron also gives us indication of what remedies, medicine and healing modalities suit your unique makeup the best.
We will first delve into the sign your natal Chiron is motivated by, as well as where in your life this plays out by house placement. To add even more to your tool box we will also look at which other planets your Chiron is working with by aspect.
By transit Chiron travels through each of the twelve signs and at the moment we have some shifts in how Chiron is supporting us, as he has recently moved from Aries into Taurus.
Come join us for this healing workshop and meet like-minded astrology students to share the learning journey with.

However, once cornered and smoked out it can be very liberating and empowering to unhook those unhelpful energies which keep us stuck.
