“Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light..”

Brene Brown

Psychotherapeutic Counsellor | Outdoor Therapist | Writer| Artist

Having explored my own past and worked through personal challenges, I bring empathy, depth and understanding to my counselling practice.

I am passionate about supporting children, young people and women on their journey towards more hopeful, life-affirming futures, offering a safe, compassionate, and gentle space for growth and healing.

Therapy Room (Indoors)

I am trained as an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor which means I use a variety of different approaches tailored to your specific needs (see ‘My Approach’ for details). I have a creative arts background and have taken courses in painting, printmaking, ceramics, weaving, sewing, writing, papercutting, poetry, mosaic, music and knitting and if desired, can bring these into my practice.

Sessions take place in a calming, creative and confidential therapeutic space within an old Art Deco building in the west end of Newcastle, (formerly a school). The building houses artists, dancers, writers, circus performers and musicians and it is an inspiring place to be.

There is a large car park offering ample parking and it is also conveniently located on a number of bus routes (30, 31 and 38). There is a cycle rack if coming by bike. Facilities on site include a cafe, a record shop, communal work spaces and toilets.

Outdoor Therapy

Outdoor therapy, also known as ecotherapy, is a therapeutic approach that involves connecting with nature and the natural environment to support mental, emotional, spiritual and physical well-being. It is also about the relationship we have with nature, and how nature accompanies the therapeutic work. Our room will be the outdoors.

Outdoor therapy can be especially helpful for people facing a wide range of challenges, including grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, illness, stress, and low self-esteem. Outdoor therapy is also beneficial for neurodiverse individuals—e.g. autism, ADHD and highly sensitive people (HSPs), who may feel overwhelmed by busy, noisy, or emotionally intense environments.

Ecotherapy sessions are based at Scotswood Gardens, a beautiful organic garden, containing ponds, a forest garden, orchard area, meadows, woodland, sculptures and raised bed areas.
