Mindfulness-Based Holistic Counselling & Psychotherapy is a Mind, Body, Heart Centred Approach to Mental, Emotional, Social & Spiritual Health & Wellbeing
To support my work in helping clients deepen self awareness and develop understanding, purpose and authentic growth I offer holistic counselling and psychotherapy. This approach is for individuals seeking a more mindfulness-based, trauma-informed, creative and eco-therapeutic approach to mental health and wellbeing. Designed to deepen emotional understanding, processing and resilience, it can help you explore difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
This "inner work" is characterised by a nonjudgmental awareness of the present moment experience, exploring one's thoughts, bodily sensations, and the context, while encouraging openness, acceptance, meaning making, deeper connection and even spiritual integration. Holistic Counselling helps you process the past, create a vision for the future while being grounded in the present moment and connected to nature, deep time and place.
Why Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy?
In today’s overly stimulating world, we often lose touch with our dynamic inner and outer experiences, leading to patterns of fear-based thinking and perpetual cycles and complexities tangled with stress, anxiety, avoidance, defensiveness, reactiveness or a sense of disconnection and isolation. My counselling integrates evidence-based psychotherapy techniques with Buddhist psychology, Jungian approaches, creative arts and ecotherapy. These philosophies and approaches allow you to explore your life with compassion, presence, acceptance, imagination, connection and intention.
This integrative approach can help you:
-
Reconnect with Your Inner Self: Mindfulness enables the inner work needed to develop a deeper awareness of thoughts and emotions, offering insights into personality, ego, fear based thinking, core beliefs, and maladaptive behavioural patterns that may affect your wellbeing, relationships and ability to accomplish your goals.
-
Support Brain Health and Growth: Through consistent mindfulness and visualisation practices, you actively engage the brain’s ability to reorganise and form new connections, a process known as neuroplasticity that underpins mental fitness and flexibility. By fostering a more mindful outlook, you can gradually reframe limiting thoughts and feelings and build new, supportive habits for wellbeing.
-
Enhance Self-Compassion and Emotional Resilience: Cultivating mindfulness, active imagination, inner-child and dream work and visualisation techniques can encourage self-compassion and reduce self-criticism, while promoting a balanced emotional landscape that supports resilience and creativity in navigating life’s challenges.
-
Build Stronger Relationships and Connection: Understand your attachment patterns and strengthen your capacity for empathy, co-operation and open hearted connection. Explore intimate, loving relationships and healthy boundaries. Navigate difficulties and cultivate positive connection in your partnership, family, community, nature and workplace.
-
Develop Your Creative Spark: Nurtures your imagination using creative thinking, empowering you to shift out of fear based thinking, soothing and regulating your nervous system and enabling you to approach challenges with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of possibility.
By integrating habits, practices and strategies into your life it offers a holistic pathway to healing and creative self-discovery and expression. It is especially helpful for managing stress and fear based thinking, shifting out of negative patterns, and creating a life that reflects your values, heart and aspirations. The process can support your sense of agency, meaning and purpose and lead to more joy, awe and fulfilment in your life.
How This Complements Coaching
For individuals already engaged in life, leadership or even workplace coaching in an EAP capacity, holistic counselling and psychotherapy can provide additional support to address deeper emotional layers, unlock mental clarity or support you through inner transformation and life transitions. It is particularly helpful if emotional overwhelm is present, trauma, grief or you have maladaptive habits for coping or feel overwhelmed by existential threats like climate change and systems collapse. Mindfulness based psychotherapy provides a space for those who seek more than coaching alone, particularly if you're seeking emotional healing, spiritual exploration or deeper self-awareness, soul work, ancestral connection and creative living.

What to expect
Sessions are held in a confidential and supportive environment, where mindfulness practices, such as breath awareness, somatic work, and mindful reflection, are integrated into therapeutic conversations. We also explore Jungian approaches like dream analysis, shadow work and active imagination to enhance creativity and transformation. Each session is designed to support you on your journey toward self-discovery, emotional wellbeing, and greater mindfulness. I also offer holistic retreats in nature at The Eco Retreat.
