Umbrella Tree Counselling

Trauma leaves a wound, a wound that needs attention. If we understand it, nurture it and provide the necessary environment to help it heal, it changes from a raw soreness that weaps, to a calm state of newness that, yes, may leave a scar but is evidence of a painful battle that was fought with every ounce of strength we had. Our scars do not define us but they are life’s tattoos of hope and healing xx
Be kind to yourself because you matter ❤️

Christmas time is considered a joyful time of year, but for some it can be far from a happy time and sometimes evokes painful, traumatic memories.

Therapy doesn’t take a break because it’s Christmas. Arrange a first, free consultation and see how it can help you find happiness again x

Last week I attended the incredible Masters Series Trauma Conference at Oxford University.
World experts and authors including Gabor Mate, Bessel van der Kolk, Janine Fisher, Dan Siegel, Frank Anderson, Richard Schwartz, all shared their knowledge, expertise, experiences and latest scientific data in the treatment, restoration and recovery from trauma.
There is hope and light out of the very dark shadows.

Message, email, text, what’s app for a free first consultation.
Embrace your struggle and find your true self x

"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.
There was a pause.
"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.
"No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do."
"That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.
"What are you doing?" asked Pooh.
"Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.
"But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh."
And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right."
