Welcome to A Boat Time Therapy Counselling and Nature Therapy
Are you looking for "therapy/counselling close to me?" I’m a registered, compassionate, empathic and experienced therapist
Are you feeling dissatisfied with the direction of your life and/or the quality of your relationships?
We're in a world connected more than ever but do you feel alone or unsupported?
At A Boat Time Therapy, the goal is to help you to understand, and address those concerns in a way that empowers you to thrive in your life and relationships.
In your Counselling sessions I am there to walk alongside you through your self-discovery and to support you with the areas of your life that need you - perhaps to build self-esteem, perhaps to build self-love, perhaps to build boundaries, or to help you process anger or to sit alongside you in grief.
Understanding anxiety may be part of your process and I can offer ‘tools’ to help you learn to manage in your everyday life.
At a deeper level, if your anxiety is rooted in dysfunctional relationships, the therapeutic relationship serves to heal this dysfunction. Because to heal a problem with relationships, you need to experience a kind, caring and accepting relationship with another.
About Me
I believe no one therapy holds all the answers. I use some of the most effective therapy methods available in counselling today including :
- Humanistic
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and
- Nature Therapy
I offer one to one counselling, incorporating nature therapy on or alongside a sail boat in Christchurch, nature walk and talk in BH22 , BH23 & BH17 .
Due to covid therapy is offered by telephone / skype
and walk and talk in nature.
In counselling my role is to create a sense of trust and confidence such that you feel safe and
in which you can express your feelings and gain deeper insight into your difficulties. Sessions are confidential, so you can freely talk without fear of being judged and misunderstood .
The aim is to help you find better ways to understand yourself, or to bring about changes to help you manage the way you think or behave to improve your mental and emotional well-being.
My Commitment
Being a member BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) demonstrates that I meet high standards of proficiency, professionalism and ethical therapy practice.

* My Counselling approaches (CBT and Humanistic)

* Fees
