Where Herbal Medicine Meets Psychological Therapy

Every herbal consultation with me will be influenced by my background in clinical psychology and psychotherapy. For some people, additional psychological support can help understand how past experiences, current stress and longstanding emotional patterns are affecting their health and wellbeing.

I offer two ways of working that combine professional training in psychology, psychotherapy, and herbal medicine:

  • Short-term holistic psychotherapy

  • Nature based therapy

Rather than asking, “What is wrong with you?” we explore together what has happened to you, and what you need now.

Starting therapy is a significant step in your journey to wellness but can feel daunting. You are welcome to get in touch for a free initial conversation to explore whether this way of working feels right for you

  • A focused six- session package designed to help you understand what may be keeping you stuck and create meaningful change.

    This work is formed by Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), a collaborative and compassionate therapeutic model that explores how past experiences and current circumstances shape the difficulties you are facing today.

    You may benefit from this work if you are experiencing:

    • anxiety

    • low mood

    • chronic stress, burnout or overwhelm

    • stuck in repeating pattern that limit your health

    • repeating relationship patterns

    • disconnection from yourself

    • life transitions or loss

  • Session 1 – Initial Consultation
    A space to explore what has brought you here, what support you are looking for, and whether this feels like the right approach for you at this time.

    You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and decide whether you feel comfortable working with me.

    Session 2 – Holistic Health Assessment
    A full health assessment to help me understand your health and wellbeing more broadly and create a personalised herbal prescription.

    Sessions 3–6 – Understanding Patterns and Creating Change
    Together we identify recurring emotional or relational patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

    We create a shared visual map of these patterns, helping you recognise old cycles with greater clarity and begin finding new ways forward.

    The aim is to support sustainable change, greater self-understanding, and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

  • For many people, therapy can feel easier when moving side-by-side in nature rather than sitting face-to-face in a room.

    Walking outdoors helps regulate the nervous system, process difficult feelings, and allow thoughts and reflections to emerge more naturally.

    There is an abundance of research evidencing the healing power of nature. You may also find your attention drawn to a particular plant or landscape that offers insight into your situation.

    You may benefit from this work if you are experiencing:

    • anxiety or low mood

    • chronic stress, burnout or overwhelm

    • disconnection from yourself

    • disconnection from the natural world

    • life transitions

    • bereavement

  • Session 1 – Initial consultation
    We begin with an indoor consultation to explore your needs and whether nature based therapy is the right fit for you.

    Session 2 – Holistic Health Assessment
    A full health assessment to help me understand your health and wellbeing more broadly and create a personalised herbal prescription.
