Nurture Psychotherapy and Wellness services.

Support at life's thresholds. . 

 

Certain points in life invite us to stop. These thresholds may arise in Childhood, adolescence parenthood or midlife, often bringing emotional relation or psychological challenges. Nurture Psychotherapy offers a calm compassionate space for children adolescents women and families to be supported during these times, with work informed by clinical training, healthcare experience and a deep respect for each clients individual journey through these thresholds. 

 Nurture Psychotherapy and wellness is dedicated to providing Psychotherapy to young people from early childhood to adolescence and beyond. A psychotherapy and wellness space offering therapeutic support for women in the peri-menopause and menopause years. 

I work in a relational and quiet way, intentionally keeping a low profile. I don't offer therapy or wellness as a brand or lifestyle  therefore I don't maintain any social media profiles. This is an intentional choice rooted in the nature of Psychotherapy and the importance of privacy and containment. All information about my work can be found here on my website.

 Child & adolescent Psychotherapy   

I provide both outdoor walk & talk sessions as well as room based sessions. This flexibility provides developmental appropriate, evidence and trauma informed sessions wherever the client feels more comfortable.  While room based sessions are the preferred option outdoors sessions also support young people with emotional regulation, allowing them to use nature and natural surroundings as a resource for regulation.

Working this way with young people reduces pressure to attend counselling in room/office based sessions only I am aware that  face to face work can be difficult for some young people. Walking side by side can feel less threatening and reduces pressure allowing the therapeutic conversation to unfold more naturally. 

Whether your child prefers outdoor walk and talk sessions or room based all sessions follow a therapeutic framework guided by best practice. 

 

For more information please email me for a detailed handout on how these sessions are formulated. 

Free consultation session for parents. 

 

I offer a free 20-30 minute online consultation for parents to explore if Psychotherapy is the best option suited for your child. 

This session is explorative and consultative in nature and isn't offered as a therapy session. When a young persin is in crisis or needs support, parents don't always know where to turn. I offer this free consultation as a bridge to understanding what Psychotherapy with me might look like for your child and what option would best suit them. 

Session are by appointment only and do not exceed 30 minutes. 

 

Please use the contact page to connect with me and we can arrange a call. 

Parental sessions & Family support

Parents are offered online support and review sessions as part of their child's therapeutic process. These sessions are consultative in nature and do not act as a replacement for Psychotherapy for parents.  

 

Review sessions offer an opportunity for parents to gain insights of emerging patterns or themes in their child's therapy as well as support and understanding of their childs developmental and emotional needs.
