Willow Therapy Tring

Willow Therapy Tring A nurturing confidential space. Offering Counselling for Adults Children Teens Couples and Families. Willow Therapy is unique. Aling with Parent support sessions.

We are a private service located in Tring. We offer a haven of tranquillity tucked away off the bustling Tring High street. My aim is to offer emotional and holistic support to clients when life becomes challenging. People approach Willow Therapy knowing that they are entering a calming nurturing and safe environment. We offer counselling to adults children teens couples and families. The room is beautifully furnished to offer comfortable seating within a non clinical room. Working with children and adults we can use creative play ranging from dolls houses, soft toys, games and creative arts to natural stones and crystals. We work within the many areas of mental health and wellbeing. Working integratively we access Mindfulness, CBT and a psychodynamic approach to support clients. Willow has a small team of highly experienced and qualified counsellors who are dedicated to continued learning in order to provide best practice. We currently offer Room, zoom and telephone and sessions. When working I often draw on my past roles as a clinical practitioner specialising in palliative care and working with families as well as my work within holistic settings. I originally trained as a clinical aromatherapist and neuromuscular practitioner going on to teach. I then started my journey into counselling adding Family therapy and then my supervisor Diploma to support other counsellors in their work. Willow offers a high standard of support in a beautiful space. I'm proud to be the founder of a business that offers support to a growing local community taking GP and private referrals to strengthen mental health awareness. All counsellors are BACP affiliated and fully DBS checked and insured.

Hello February ❤️
A Time of Growth And Growing
We've navigated the trudging of January
Frosty mornings and recovering Christmas
Dark mornings and darker afternoons
And here we are in The Sweet Spot ❤️

That month that is like a little wooden bridge
It coaxes us to wander across into March
A time of bulbs peeking up through soil
Colours slowly reappearing in Nature
A promise of Spring on its way

January has felt long dark and cold
It was a time of re learning for me
A revisit to slowing down purposefully
Which is often hard when we're prepped
For ultimate speed and Cramming

But I'm de cluttering de Shedding
Sorting organising and re potting
My beautiful bulbs re homed by
The Flower House in my little town
Are offering me up daily reminders

That growth takes time and patience but
Once it arrives it's sweet scent can fill rooms

If you're struggling this February ❤️
Look to the seasons for answers
We're emerging from our Wintering
And The Growth is already starting
Don't forget that under the surface
All those roots have been growing

As with us humans the work is internal
Then we change our behavior and patterns
We Action all we have learned and processed
Then the real Party begins
We go out into the world and we Bloom

Those who may need a Saturday Reminder
You are not a Low Sodium cracker
Thank you Karen Salmansohn
For reminding us all ❤️

And THE best reminder of ALL
My 2 year old Grandson slept over
As I put on my dress this morning
I heard a tiny squeal ❤️
"Oh Gayya a Princess" 👸 😍 💖
He said slowly and carefully beaming up

That Right there was my reminder
We can all be the Queen Prince king
Or Princess of our own lives ❤️

I'm off to Twirl and Swirl through my day
The joys of teeny tiny humans ❤️
How they remind us to love ourselves

Anyone have those days! ❤️
When you just need movement

Sitting still feels stuck
Movement brings a new perspective
Even if it's a peek out of the window
At the world simply doing its thing ❤️

If your grumpy bumpy humpy or niggled
Stand up walk to the other side of the room
Walk back sit down and take note
What changes in your body do you feel ❤️

We all get slump n grump days
It's part of being Human ❤️
So let's get moving
Even it's it's simply a Toe wiggle!!

Following on from todays post
How Do us Humans navigate stuckness
I've had a thoroughly satisfying night
I've shifted furniture moved plants
Created soft cushioned corners
And stood back with brimming pride

I'm creating my new office space
Time to move down from The ivory tower
The Topest of top floors in my hobbity house
A new corner at home surrounded by calm
Plants pictures photos books cushions
Everything wonderful and soothing

You see my nervous system
Well it needed some settlings
My internal gear box needed a shift
It was stuck on memories and What Ifs
So I got to work on What IS ❤️
Playing Mums favourite music
Laughing at funny moments I recalled

My Mother enjoyed a drink or two
She also loved music and dancing
Travelling shopping clothes and style
Talking politics late into the night
Early years were her smoking at a table
Loud raucous animated conversations
Glasses clinking and overflowing
Food prepped the night before
Tables laid with candles plates napkins

Often we forget those tiny details
Particularly in our job as therapists
Rummaging around in our childhood
Looking for meaning and understanding
We forget the simplicity sometimes

So here's to Mums everywhere
Here's to therapist's who delve in deep
And here's a soft gentle reminder ❤️
If you're jingled jangled wibbly or Wobbly
Or feeling sad stuck or even scared
Of what might be or could be or has been

Please come into The Here And Now
Do something different ❤️
Move your body Tidy a desk Flip a rug!
Pick up a plant and pop it somewhere new
Create a different view to look at
A different space to sit in and feel

When we change our surroundings
When we actively make a change externally
We can create shifts internally too ❤️
Here's to feeling productive
Here's to music healing and helping
Here's to my New office prepping ❤️
Here's to you Mum 🕯 🎂

And heres to buying new plants 🪴 🪴 🌱
A New office always needs New plants!

Thank you Samantha Lee Counselling
I've pinched your visual of Mothers
It resonated so powerfully today

Today is my Mothers Birthday
She passed away 10 years ago
I woke at 1.13am today
With a resounding sense of sadness
It wasn't simply the loss of my mother
It was the loss of what could have been

The conversations we didn't have
The learning I was suddenly ready for
The tough conversations I now had time for
The history I had the space to hear about
The lessons to gather from each other
I wasn't ready then but I'm ready now ❤️

I'm still finding photographs
That I'd never even seen of her
A life I didn't fully know or see
I was busy parenting my own family
Speeding along in the whirlwind

So today I'm grateful for what I did learn
And from the losses I'm changing patterns
I'm pausing more and listening deeper
I'm making time for conversations
I'm exercising curiosity where I can

I may not have had those long luxurious talks
With my own mother as I sped along in life
But I have grown in softer wisdom now
So I prioritise time with my own daughter
We learn from each other as we talk
I see in her what I needed and I offer it up

So I'm Thankful to my late Mother
For the lessons I learned about myself
I'm grateful to her and whilst I'm sad
That I didn't have those conversations
We didn't have the time to honour one another
I'm having that now with my daughter and sons
I'm re parenting my own inner child gently
As I watch my daughter parenting her child

Happy Birthday Mum
I'm still talking to you daily
I'm still hearing you often
I'm just paying more attention now ❤️

Here's to Travelling and Adventures
You taught me well! I'm listenening now

This is the face of dishevelled Joy 💖

It's interesting how Fun Happiness and Joy
Often requires us to Let Go and Fly
To undo ourselves and let go of Perfection
That means hair ruffles face creased
Clothes Crumpled knees Scuffed
Laughter Lines lining and eyes Squinting

We UnBecome letting all inhibitions Go
We are no longer pristine and preened
But the joy flows from inside of us
Creating something far more beautiful
Than pristine perfection offers up
Authenticity ❤️

My Grandson had a sleepover
We laughed played crawled ran
Marvelled at how steam fills a room
When a tiny human stays in a shower
Giggling hysterically for way too long

So this weekend
Let yourself Unravel a little please
Marvel in the dishevelment that it brings

And if your dishevelled ways
Are from unbecoming in painful ways
Be super soft and gentle with yourselves
Know that you've got this ❤️
Authenticity comes in many forms ❤️

I LOVE this ❤️
A Timely reminder
This photo of me as a teeny one
Popped up on a social feed

It reminded me of how fearless I was
How I felt so Capable of Everything
As children we often Do!
Until the world sprinkles and peppers us
With experiences that dampen that view
Suddenly we're adults all grown and big

And we forget how it felt to feel Capable
To climb Rocks and jump off sofas
Knowing we may bump crash and fall

I've just driven my drive home tonight
I hate night driving and avoid it always
Tonight was dark rainy and foggy
And I literally SANG all the way home

Off the back of some wonderful sessions
With incredible Humans in work
We looked at the word Capable ❤️
I AM CAPABLE ❤️ carefully examining it
How that statement conjures up courage

As I drove home singing I remembered
Being a child tying jumpers around my neck
Pretending they were wafting Capes
And I thought of the feelings that I felt
I was INVINCIBLE like a Super Hero

And I realised Cape and able make Capable
So my song went like this:
I have my Cape and I am Able
Yes I AM ❤️
I have my Cape and I am Able
Yes I AM ❤️
As I'm driving home in Mabel
I have my Cape and I am Able
I am Capable
Oh yes I really AM ❤️

You get the jist!!
The thing is this....I didn't feel my usual worry
There was no space for fears and wobbles
I felt Capable and I was home in no time

So here's to you adults out there
Whether you're adulting away solo
Or parenting away tentatively
Remember this YOU are CAPABLE
You're even Capable of managing wobbles
You're Capable of falling down and getting up
When we recognise we're Capable
Well.....we can fly
So grab that jumper
Tie it round your shoulders
And be the Hero of your own world ❤️ 🦸‍♂️ 🦸‍♀️

And sing a song if you have a wobble!!
It settles the Nervous System beautifully

I'm Back in The Room for a few days
Which feels rather strange
After such a long absence
Working predominantly on Zoom
For a whopping 3 months

But the work is so Grounding
So powerful in its entirety
I'm reminded what an honour it is
To sit alongside other humans
Face to face in person

Who want to look at behaviours
And ways of Sitting with discomfort
Change Growth and Humaness

Thank you little Room
For Holding us ALL ❤️

This made my Heart Melt
The Crooked Cookery Book

I was sat slowly sizzling at an issue
That's Creating frustration 🫤
When out of the corner of my eye
I spotted THIS 📖 📘
My old tattered cookery book
Mums old cookery books I'd kept
One sat poking out oddly

I remembered my Beany
How he had walked over to me
At the past weekend excitedly
Showing me pictures inside this book
I was waylaid as he trotted off
To replace it dutifully on its shelf

Until now!!!
Seeing it there suddenly
Warmth flooded through me
All negative thoughts gone
And in their place my heart swelled
It's incredible how our nervous system
Responds to visual or audio queues

Here's to the warm glow ❤️
Here's to precious memories
Here's to our incredible human bodies
To the Nervous System that knows
How to settle when it's around
The Good Stuff ❤️ ❣️ 💕

If youre struggling
Change the view 🌳
Listen to 🎶 music
Visual and audio interruption
Can create a shift that's helpful
Settling a jangled nervous system

Not often Acknowledged ❤️

I often Scroll and Save ❤️
Anything that leaves a warm glow
Or pokes at Curiosity and Wonderings
Creating more Self Awareness and Wisdom

It's not all Doom 🤗

I was curious and typed in 2016
The new trending trend into my phone
Photos popped up yanking up memories
With intense piercing vigour
A Greek Island visited
Devon driven to many times
France yoga retreat retreated to
Dancing twirling and speeding through 2016
I was Dizzy simply viewing the speed that year

As I looked on at photos laid out before me
An array of feelings surfaced too
As Humans we're often busy living
That we rarely stop and look back
To fully understand where the lessons are

2016 was a year I lived at break neck speed
Covering up Bereavements and Loss
Remember Speed is a Response to Trauma

I was constantly sent signals
A tiny bird flying inside a Devon retreat
Coaxing me to sit still and be slow
But us humans rarely listen to nature

That decade now passed
Taught me survival strategies
It also showed me strength and resilience
The woman I became grew a business
She raised children to adults
She navigated loss and also growth
She moved homes sold a house on her own
Learned valuable lessons in business
Gained deeper Friendships that held her

That woman in 2016 did an incredible job
And I'm eternally grateful to her now
She grew wings that carried her unsteadily
She's still growing and learning daily
Wisdom was gathered along the way

Be Compassionate with yourselves please
When looking in the rear view mirror
It's often easy to be critical of choices
It's easy to be unkind to ourselves
But so many versions of us bring us to here
Each one is a warrior wading paths laid out

And please please be extra careful
Looking back can often appear glossy
But for some it unearths pain and loss
So be extra specially tender with yourself
If you hop onto the 2016 trend and peek
At who and where you were a decade ago

And remember YOU are incredible Always ❤️

I only went out for minced lamb!!!

After a really supportive holding and
Thoroughly productive Therapy session
Of my own I may add in here
I was all prepped to go buy wholesome
Nurturing healthy good for you food

On my way I thought I'd pop into a shop
Our local pre loved clothes shop ❤️
A couple of squids later!!!
I'm walking out with a new coat!
Like I really need a new coat!

I somehow told myself it was a bargain
It was second hand so I was actually
Saving the planet by buying it
I had also done some deep dive work
On my inner child in my Therapy today
So surely I was deserving of said coat
AND it had pink stripes which for me
Symbolised breast cancer care
So I was also remembering loved ones

Hell it was a Win Win situation

Does anyone else ever do this
Offer up excuses and reasons as to why
We are Deserving in that moment of a treat
As if there needs to be some flow chart
That you move through in order to get to
But you deserve it!!

Ordinarily said bargain would go in a bag
In order to carry my purchase home
And look at the bag a while
Before hanging it up to admire it
Before wearing said item!!
The 'am I really deserving of it' whispers

Today
F**k it
I wore it home!!
I'm feeling Cotswolds vibe with a twist!! ❤️
A pink streak of kick ass I'm back in the game
Another Hoorah for Therapy too
I came out today feeling bigger and better
So here's to my preloved Scamp & Dude coat
I blame my therapist ❤️
