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.

A reminder 💐
Community Connection and Kindness
Beautiful friends have gifted flowers
As I move further into Grand Mothering

As I lean inwards to Mother my daughter
So that she can in turn Mother her children
I am offered up Mothering from my friends

People who step up and inwards
Walking my dog or looking after her
Gifting flowers that bring me joy 💖
Check in messages and laughter
So I can offer the best of myself to others

Never forget that Kindness Cascades
Someone is Kind to us and we pass it on

We all need Mothering from time to time
And a Huge shout out To The Flower House
For georgous flowers and Georgous owners
And to all the Mothering and Nurturing
That they offer up in flower form daily ❤️

Remember to Nurture yourself please
So that you can bring the best of you
To those who may need support

Kindness always ❤️

Something so Raw and Tender
In this incredbly Intimate moment
One that feels almost an intrusion
One of a set of photos taken quietly
It almost passed by as I was so engrossed
Unaware of my daughter watching so closely

The entire world stopped in this moment
I could swim forever in those feelings felt
Holding two of my grandchildren
Immersed in my grandsons world
Of exploring his brothers tiny eyes
His utter wonder at this small human

How often in life do we sink into a moment
Absorb ourself in it so thoroughly we melt
Letting all around us completely dissappear
When we're busy parenting its so difficult
We are filled with expectations and emotions
But grand parenting is a whole new view

This photograph is a Reminder
To simply Be in the moment
No agenda no poses no mask

This photo is Love in its natural form
Me Holding 2 humans A new generation
A sibling settling into his new role with awe
A Grandmother Holding her heart in her arms

I'm aware of how Privaledged I am
To be able to sit in this role
I didn't think my heart could expand
After my own first child but it did
And now I'm eternally grateful to step in
Ever so carefully to Grand-Mothering

This role deepens who I am as a person
Which in turn brings a far wiser woman
To the Therapy room and the families I see
This photo encompasses so much
All of me and who I am in All I do
Holding with Care Humility and Tenderness
This symbolises the woman I strive to be

Thank you to my daughter
For capturing this essence ❤️

27/04/2026

We're in the midst of change here
And never before has the phrase
It Takes A Village ❤️
Been more poignant

I'm observing again which is an honour
Watching my own beautiful girl adulting
Seeing a young mother first hand close up
In those blurry bleary early days of change
Juggling needs and demands whilst healing

I'm taken back to my own journey
Spanning three decades of 33 years
Time spent watching my children grow
Lessons gathered up learned along the way
Journeys we make take and survive ❤️

I'm reminded of how Bloody Strong Women are
How they dig deep into emptiness at times
To keep going despite mental exhaustion
To keep going on limited sleep 😴
To give their body over to a tiny human
To be pulled pushed and moved
To be physically opened up and then
To allow healing whilst STILL giving

It's insane just how Resilient women are
And I'm not simply talking child rearing
I'm talking Women Living Lifing Surviving

So this Sunday I celebrated my daughter
I raised a glass over a meal out locally
Then sat in awe at All Women out there
What women face What they overcome
Their internal strength power determination
As I watch in a front row seat I'm in Awe

I'm in complete awe daily in my work too
Nothing feels more powerful Raw or Real
Than witnessing a Womans Growth
First hand In the messy midst of Change

To ALL Women in all phases stages and ages
Of Change Growth and Monumental Movement
You are Insanely Wonderful and Beautiful ❤️
I'm in Awe of Every one of you Resilient souls

Born on Earth 🌎 Day 22.04.26
A beautiful baby boy
My second grandson My third grandchild
What an honour it is to observe
Our children's lives ❤️ 💕

Life carries many lessons
None more poignant than a baby
Because they symbolise so much
The cycle of life
Like the seas tide moving inwards and out
Life is ever moving ebbing and flowing

As I lay in bed with my toddler grandson
Early this morning at 6am contemplating
I was suddenly aware of lifes cycles
My mum came to my mind and a wave
Took over as I imagined her as a Great Nan
She would have hated the name but loved the fizz to celebrate! And insisted we drop the Great!

Alexa was on playing lullaby instrumentals
In the hope that Bean would go back to sleep!
Suddenly a song came on that catapulted me
Back to a memory with my late mother!
Then came another nudge towards mum
You Are My Sunshine 🌞 tinkled out softly

A song my mum sang to me as a child
A vase I had as a child had a 🌈 on it
And the words written across it clearly
You Are My Sunshine My Only Sunshine

Life really is one big circle and yes
I do believe my mother was welcoming
In her 3rd Great grandchild ❤️

We often find comfort in the strangest places
Here's to tiny people and lifes beautiful circle

22/04/2026

Just a boy hanging around
Waiting to become a Big brother

I've been catapulted backwards in time
To memories of my own children as toddlers
How can Pingu still be adorable 24 years on!
A kids program that my own boys adored
One that carried messages of kindness
Of sibling humour fun rivalry and chaos
The baby penguin in the egg is hilarious
Coupled with parents despair and tiredness

I'm left reflecting on how fast life moves
So the sheer fact this new tiny human
Is taking time to appear is just perfect

Baby isn't here yet but is already teaching us
That patience is a virtue and pausing......
Well pausing gives us another night's sleep!
And a little time to rest and settle ❤️

Enjoy the tiny people in your worlds
They bring many lessons that often
We're speeding way too fast to see
Like the simplicity and joy in sitting
On a sun filled morning at 8am
Eating hot buttered toast outside

That mindful moment caught me off guard
I hadn't recognised how good it tasted!!
My usual hastily made food eaten swiftly
As I squeezed it between daily tasks
How often we adults go too fast

Don't forget to slow down today 💕
We'll be in the garden watering plants
Counting snails 🐌 and ladybirds
And waiting ever so very patiently ❤️

The Circle of Life Birth Growth Death
As I say Goodbye to a Dear friend 🧡
I'm preparing for a New life to arrive

My Baby girl is prepping for baby 2
I blinked and the little girl with braids
Who giggled squealed and played
Was a grown woman all adulted
Building and crafting a life of her own

She graduated with insane Blue hair
Kicking ass as she grew in confidence
Navigating the wider world of adulthood
She became a Mummy to a glorious boy

My daughter has been my greatest teacher
Our children often are! They are our mirror
Shining light on areas we must heal in us
Then came Grand-Mothering More lessons
A role that enriched every corner and crevice

Children have SO much to teach us
They pause with bewilderment and curiosity ❤️
They are the true Masters of Mindfulness
They are often unfiltered and uncensored ❤️
They voice their needs and wants clearly
They say loudly how they feel often ❤️
They say No firmly when they mean No
They teach us daily about Grounding

Never ever underestimate
A child's capacity to teach you about living
Life is simply a Circle that we all travel
So pay attention well as you journey it 🤗

As Richard had written across the wall
I Greet This day with Love in my heart ❤️

It's a terribly sad day
I found out yesterday
That an incredbly beautiful human had died
Richard S. Elkington of The Drawing Room

My heart aches and a community has lost
A truly wonderful soul who played a huge part
In bringing people together in a magical way

I had know this wonderful man
For over a decade in many roles
He was my greatest champion He was my dear friend and so much more. He was a wonderful Confidant and a patient listener to name a few.

We talked on radio shows about our work together in setting up support groups. We had hilarious fun driving through London in his Dolly car blowing bubbles. He was both an encouragable child and a rebellious teen. With buckets of wisdom to offer. A life fully lived and embraced.

When I was told of his death my brain couldn't function and I immediately thought I must ring Richard to check if it's true. Our brains do the strangest things when the struggle to compute unwanted or shocking information.

Richard offered a space Within The Drawing Room that allowed people to feel seen held and heard. He never judged. He was a source of encouragement and support for me and so many. He was a glorious quirky individual.
He wanted to stand out yet he was also a truly gracious humble host. He adored his musicians and would be seen darting between tables saying Shhhh to anyone talking whilst they played.
I was honoured to meet some phenomenal musicians because of Richard. We laughed We talked We had Fun and I will miss him.

Chesham community has lost a power house of a human who lived for their community. Richard WAS The Drawing Room.

As with any vast loss, Love goes out to his family. Know that your father changed lives and left deeply crafted footprints on many many hearts 💕

He will live on in every heart he knew and touched.
RIP you wonderful man.
What a fabulous honour to have known you

I'm not a jeans girl really
My days of skinny jeans are gone
No longer do I want a tight band
Sitting squeezing my mid drift!!
Menapause saw the end to that
Along with lessons age and wisdom
Comfort reigns as I navigate 50s

I've also debated the professionalism
Of A jean in the Counselling therapy room
Was it too casual for a session of holding
That may sound daft but casual clothing
Didn't allow me the sense of stature
Required to hold support and guide
I felt a jean would suggest a beach walk
Or kick back around a fire pit with songs!!

I also NEVER go shopping
Jeans require a vast array of try ons
Another midlife decision and goal
Until my daughter needed a girly day
Of teeny baby clothes choosing
And big mummy knicker picking!!

So M and S called and she persuaded me
Into a seriously comfy pair of jeans!!
And let's not talk Pyjamas!! Who knew
A pyjama top worn as a shirt ❤️

The message in it all is this
It doesn't really matter what we wear
It's How we feel inside what we wear
I don't feel the least bit like a beach walk
I'm still able to hold clients and stories

I'm back in the room after over 5 weeks
I suddenly remembered people have legs!!
Zoom allows a fabulous top half view

Online sessions versus In Person sessions
That's a whole other conversation
For now I'm sitting comfortably
Recognising that How we feel inside life
Far outweighs how we look ❤️ ❤️

Beany is very soon to become a Big brother
So I've been knitting him a little scarf
Well it started as a mini snood
But I got carried away as I often do

In my usual wonky ways
It's a wonderful Wonky wibbly scarf
Like Life's wobbly roads at times

As I looked upon my wibbly knit
I realised there were a number of HOLES
Missed stitches where tiredness overcame

Instead of unravelling it all in haste
I pulled out my trusty felting kit
Courtesy of Bergin & Bath
And made a few teeny hearts 💕
Placed over the holes they were a reminder

Life can be wonky and messy
We can have gaps gapes and holes
But a loving kind heart can fill them

Kindness Always ❤️

My youngest now almost 25
Said Fermanent marker for years
I still can't walk past a Permanent marker
In a supermarket without smiling out loud

My Grandson says Pippi's for Crisps
And Kookoo as Thank you ❤️
If we cross a road he holds his hand up
Shouting Kookoo Kookoo
As he proudly walks on by

These small things
Are embedded as memories
It's these little moments that allow
Us to soften and calm keeping us connected
It's hard to be grumpy around a tiny human
Who squeals loudly Peas 🫛
When he sees something he wants

We're biologically wired to melt
When our brain remembers a word like this
It releases a hearty dose of dopamine

Not to mention in a harsh world
It brings a little softness to all around us
I'm a big fan of Streweldberries
For strawberries 🍓 Moo for Molly
And basically any fairy language I can find
It brings magic and smiles to a serious day

Here's to all the Pippi's Fermanent markers
Kookoos and everything in between ❤️
For keeping us all soft cosy and mushy

Almost 13 years ago I set up Willow
Choosing It's name very carefully
A Willow Tree bends in storms
But it rarely breaks
It weather's all winds
It's roots go deep

As I look back on those years
I can see Willows growth
I can see my own growth

And Grattitude prevails
Thank you to everyone
Who has played a part
In Willows incredible growth

I recently read this meme again and again
And suddenly words flooded back to me
Thick Dimbo Stupid Dumb were a few
Offered up in childhood by various adults
Not understanding the damage of words

I wasn't academic in school
All my reports said Conscientious
What that meant was very quiet
But no one ever checked out why

As I grew I took those labels as truth
Too stupid to learn or go to University
Not as clever as her academic parents

Instead I focused on caring
I worked in an old people's home caring
I worked as a children's nanny caring
Then I worked at being a Mummy caring

Then I reached 30 and something shifted
I started saying I CAN
And turned caring into my career
I trained in London at a prestigious college
I kearned Latin and bio chemistry
ME!! Learning about molecular cells
Don't get me wrong I struggled but I preserved

I went on to further training and then more
I basically studied alongside my kids
We would lay out our books on the table
I passed exams and graduated 🎓
Then I climbed a mountain
Quite literally I climbed Machu Pichu in Peru

I grew and grew and I grew
And I'm still learning and growing
My next course is in June in Oxford

Don't ever let anyone tell you you're stupid
Because you are wonderfully unique ❤️
For anyone struggling with revision now
Keep going know that there's always Time
I was the kid called dumb and I flew late
I started up my very own business
And now get to battle Digital Tax!!!
But I know my brain has got this

And you've got this too ❤️
