Counselling & Nature Therapy in Saddleworth

An holistic and integrated approach, working alongside nature to create a relaxed, non judgemental atmosphere.

Ann offers a variety of services from Nurture and all can be standalone or combined depending upon your needs and preferences.

Indoor Counselling Sessions

For those who prefer the structure of a regular face to face session in a beautiful, familiar and calm indoor setting at Nurture, Ann currently has availability on Friday mornings and Tuesday evenings. Her therapy uses an holistic and integrated approach, working alongside nature to create a relaxed, non judgemental atmosphere throughout the process.

All counselling adheres to the ethical framework as prescribed by British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)

£50 for 50 minute session

Walk and Talk Sessions

If you prefer to keep moving, ‘walk and talk’ sessions in the local area can be a very positive approach to counselling; combining both conventional and green therapy. These sessions present the perfect opportunity to explore whilst engaging in the therapeutic work. Ann integrates plant and herbal knowledge when appropriate.

Using elements from both Herbology and Horticultural Therapy to inform her practice, Ann provides a blend of nature therapy tailored to client need. Current research around the benefits of nature connection for mental health and overall well-being are commonly featured in mainstream media – but what does it all mean and how do we benefit from it? The answer to those questions will unfold during the course of our work together.

£50 for 50 minute session

Actively Facilitated Sessions

Both the following can be booked as single one hour sessions or in groups of three sessions. They can be used in conjunction with or as an introduction to counselling.

£40 for a one hour session

Nature Journaling

These sessions can take place both indoors and outdoors and present a perfect option for helping to relax the mind, unwind and release creativity. Journaling is a widely accepted practice for releasing stress and anxiety and we find that selecting, using and engaging with natural materials complements the process.

Mindfulness Meditation

These sessions use a combination of nature based activities which lend themselves to an appreciation and understanding of mindfulness practice. There will be a mix of forest bathing, crafting and herbal folklore to relax, inspire and inform followed by a guided herbal infusion meditation. They are aimed as an introduction to self help practice but can simply be enjoyed in their own right.

Cancellation policy: In the event of extreme bad weather, outdoor events may be cancelled at short notice. An alternative date or full refund will be made.
