About Walk·Talk·Heal Therapy
My Counselling Approach
Why Walk·Talk·Heal? Because sometimes a change of environment can create space to think, reflect and untangle the thoughts in our head. Walking can help make room for a different kind of conversation.
At Walk·Talk·Heal Therapy and Wellbeing, I take a holistic approach to counselling. Your emotional wellbeing is influenced by more than your thoughts and feelings — it can also be shaped by how you sleep, move, eat, connect with others and what you take into your mind through social media, television, books and the world around you.
My counselling draws on evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT and SFT, with IFS-informed work where appropriate. I also incorporate practical tools that can help you better understand your emotions, recognise patterns, build emotional resilience and create meaningful change.
My approach is informed by the growing field of nutritional psychiatry and the emerging understanding of how what we eat can influence our mental wellbeing.
