Therapy isn't about being 'broken'.🌱
It's about being human.🌺

Sometimes life gets heavy. Thoughts get loud. Emotions get tangled. Therapy is a safe place to pause, breathe, and untangle things with someone who's there to listen - without judgement, without pressure.

You don't have to wait for a crisis
You don't have to have all the answers
You just have to be willing to show up for yourself

Choosing therapy is choosing growth, clarity and self-care.

'Hi, I’m a trainee counsellor currently studying at Level 4 with the CBCAB examining board. I'm passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly and feel truly heard—whether you're going through something specific or just feeling a bit stuck.
My counselling approach is integrative, which means I draw on different therapeutic styles to suit your individual needs. I’m especially interested in Gestalt and Psychodynamic ways of working, which look at how our past experiences can shape the way we think, feel, and behave today. I believe that with the right support, we can start to notice patterns, understand ourselves more deeply, and make space for change.
Before training as a counsellor, I worked for many years supporting adults with learning disabilities in a variety of roles. I also spent time working as a Social Prescriber in GP surgeries, helping people facing a wide range of life challenges—things like loneliness, stress, grief, or feeling overwhelmed by everything going on. I now work as a Senior Support Practitioner, walking alongside people who are managing their mental health day to day.
These experiences have shown me how important it is to have someone you can talk to without fear of judgement—someone who’s there just to listen, support, and help you make sense of things at your own pace.
If you’re thinking about giving counselling a try, I’d love to hear from you. You don’t need to have all the answers or know exactly what to say—just come as you are.'

Conflict or protest for connection?

In the context of romantic relationships, we often find ourselves in conflict with each other and are left wondering, “what are we fighting about?” But are we really asking, “What are we fighting for?”

That question comes up a lot in couples, especially when the fight has escalated past the original issue. Here’s the thing: in many couple arguments, the surface-level topic [dishes, texts, plans, tone, etc.] isn’t the real fight. Couples are often fighting about one or more core needs. Emotional core needs can look like one of these:

Feeling unheard or misunderstood
“I don’t feel seen by you”
“Do I matter to you?”
“I don’t feel important to you”

Respect and value
“I don’t feel appreciated”
“I never feel I get it right”
“I just don’t feel good enough”

Trust and safety
“Can I count on you?”
“Do you have my back?”

Power and control
“Why do you always have to be right?”
“I never get to have my say”

Love and emotional connection
“I feel so alone when we’re together”
“I don’t feel you really care about me”

Fights often disguise themselves. At the tip of the iceberg, somehow its easier to start arguing about who left the dishes, why that text wasn’t sent - but underneath the iceberg, what is really driving the fight, is someone who feels alone, neglected or afraid, that they’re not feeling loved. The fight is often a protest of disconnection. The fight offers hope for change. We try to respond to our core needs as bids for connection with a mask - and its the mask that escalates the argument.

So, when you get caught up in this kind of fight, try asking yourself, ‘what are we really fighting for?” It slows things down and brings you closer to the truth.

If you’re looking for a therapist in a private, confidential space, we’d love to hear from you.

Healing Outdoors - Therapy in Nature
In a world that is incredibly fast-paced, digital and disconnected, many are rediscovering what ancient traditions have always known - nature heals. Spending time in nature can be deeply therapeutic, whether you are walking in the woods, sitting under a tree, or simply breathing in the fresh air in a meadow filled with wild flowers. The natural world seems to 'hold us' in ways that other therapies cannot. The earth itself is calming, grounding and inspiring.

Therapy in nature is not just about being outdoors, it is being mindful of and engaging with the environment that enhances emotional, psychological and physical healing.

But don’t take my word for it.

A growing body of research supports what many of us feel intuitively after a walk in the park - that nature is good for us.

Here’s some science behind it:
Reduction of stress and anxiety
Boosts mood and self-esteem
Improves focus and cognition
Encourages mindfulness

And anyone can benefit!!

And you don’t need a therapist to start benefitting from nature - simply start a daily nature walk, sit and spot what you can see and listen to what you can hear, write your journal in nature or do some gardening.

If you’re looking for a therapist and a private, confidential outdoor space where nature can remind you that healing is a return to connection with yourself, others and the world around you, we’d love to hear from you.

Need someone to talk to - but worried about the cost?

At The Wellbeing Garden, we know that reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, the cost of professional therapy can also feel like a barrier to you getting the support that you need.

We believe that therapy should be accessible and available to everyone. That’s why we offer lower cost, compassionate therapy designed to meet your emotional and financial needs.

At the heart of our offering is our low cost counselling service at ÂŁ35.00 per session to work with one of our counsellors-in-training. This service is complimented by a wider range of therapies provided by our qualified therapist team, fees starting from ÂŁ50 per session.

We have two counsellors-in-training on our team offering lower cost therapy:
Kayley Deacon-Church (used to work as a Social Prescriber for a local GP practice)
Dr Steve Haigh (qualified Internal Family Systems Practitioner)
See more information on the Meet our Team page on https://thewellbeinggardenbath.co.uk

If you’re looking for therapy that is financially accessible to you, please reach out to us here at The Wellbeing Garden.

“Professional counselling, accessible to everyone”

We’re here to listen, in confidence and without judgment.

Online or in person

19/05/2025

Loss changes us.

Whether it arrives suddenly or walks beside us for years before finally making its presence known, grief has a way of unravelling the familiar. A relationship, a future imagined, a sense of safety.

In A Grief Observed, CS Lewis, (1961) put it like this, “No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing.”

“Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery’s shadow or reflection: the fact that you don’t merely suffer but have to keep thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.”

Loss is about what we loved, what we expected, what we hoped to keep.

And when it is gone, it leaves with an ache that words cannot always soothe.

Loss is disruptive.

It doesn’t politely knock at the door and wait to be let in, it barges in, uninvited and turns our world upside down.

The hope is that we find ways to rebuild - not because we ‘get over it’, but the disruption becomes part of our story. We start to rebuild not despite the grief, but alongside it.

For those who have lost, my thoughts are with you.

Boundaries - barrier or bridge?

Healthy boundaries are about our own behaviour, not the behaviours of others.

Healthy boundaries are about controlling our own behaviour, thoughts, emotions and ideas, rather than telling another how to behave, think or feel. We simply tell them how a certain way upsets us and if they continue we will respond in a different way, a self-protective way.

As soon as you’re trying to convince someone to agree with you and submit to you, or to do something your way, you’re engaged in a power struggle and you risk losing connection.
�Healthy boundaries are about staying in a own sphere of influence - the only things we can control and should try and control, are those in our immediate space - our emotions, our behaviours and our ideas.

If a problem is not of our making, it’s not ours to control or fix.

The ultimate purpose of a healthy boundary is to set meaningful limits on what we will and won’t put up with from other people. Healthy boundaries keep us safe, while also stopping us from enmeshing with, enabling and attempting to control others especially if their behaviour is difficult, or harmful.

What are the primary reasons to set and maintain healthy boundaries?
Healthy boundaries protect us from the misbehaviour of other people and healthy boundaries protect other people from our misbehaviour.

Healthy boundaries facilitate connection and safety.

If people choose to behave in ways that are safe for us, we can choose to let them in.
If other people choose to behave in ways that are not safe for us, we can choose to keep them out.

The behaviour of others belongs to them.

The choice to interact with them, or not belongs to us.

For example, “If I feel unsafe when you are active in this behaviour or addiction, if I think you have been active in these ways, I will not let you in. Otherwise, I choose to enjoy your company and am happy to see you.”

Healthy boundaries seek to facilitate trust and safety. If we fail to set and uphold healthy boundaries we risk feeling used, and mistreated and may also lose relationship trust, vulnerability, emotional connection and intimacy.

To truly connect with ourselves and others, in an emotionally intimate way, we must have healthy interpersonal boundaries.

If you or a loved one are struggling with s*x, p**n, addiction, or are struggling with setting or upholding healthy boundaries, reach out to us:
