Nurture Counsellor

Welcome to Nurture Your Wellbeing

Sometimes healing requires more than talking. Sometimes it needs a different approach entirely. And sometimes, the most profound transformation happens when we address mind, body, and spirit together.

I’m Angie, and I’ve spent years training in both clinical therapeutic counselling and holistic healing practices because I believe true wellbeing comes from treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, addiction, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a safe, compassionate space where conventional therapy meets ancient healing wisdom.

Why Choose Integrated Therapy Section

The Power of Combining Clinical & Holistic Approaches

Clinical Expertise Meets Holistic Wisdom

With qualifications in CPCAB Level 4 & 5 Therapeutic Counselling, CBT, and specialised training in trauma and addiction, I provide the clinical rigour and evidence-based approaches you’d expect from a qualified therapist.

But I also hold diplomas in Reiki (Master Teacher), Sound Healing, Breathwork, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, and foundations in Celtic Shamanism – because sometimes the body holds what words cannot express.

Why This Matters for Your Healing:

  • Trauma stored in the body can be released through breathwork, sound healing, and energy work alongside talking therapy
  • Anxiety and stress respond powerfully when CBT is combined with reflexology, aromatherapy, and meditation
  • Addiction recovery benefits from addressing both psychological patterns and physical/energetic imbalances
  • Children often process emotions more effectively through play, art, and gentle holistic therapies than traditional talk therapy alone

You don’t have to choose between conventional therapy and holistic healing. You can! But here, they work together as well.

              Your Journey to Wellbeing

              Free Discovery Call

              We’ll talk about what you’re experiencing and explore which approach might work best for you – whether that’s counselling, holistic therapy, or a combination.

              Initial Consultation

              Your first session is about understanding your story, your goals, and creating a personalised plan that feels right for you.

              Your Healing Journey

              We’ll work together at your pace, adjusting our approach as needed. Some clients benefit from weekly CBT sessions, others prefer monthly holistic treatments, and many find the most powerful results come from integrating both.

              Ongoing Support

              Healing isn’t linear. I’m here to support you through the ups and downs, celebrating progress and adjusting our approach when needed.

              "At a point where I was struggling with lock down and personal issues. I was introduced to Angie. Having them had several sessions where she helped me come to terms with many issues and also gave me the ability to deal with any issues that may arise She is very friendly and easy to talk too and if I was not introduced to her I don't know where I'd be" now

              "Angie is incredible. I felt confident enough to open up from the very beginning in Angie's counselling sessions which is something I've never felt able to do before, with anyone. She makes you feel at ease and even when you're sobbing and can't get a word out there is no feeling of awkwardness or judgement. I initially started counselling for help managing my anxiety, but Angie has proved there is no feeling of awkwardness or judgement.

              Common Questions

              Do I need to choose between counselling and holistic therapy?

              Not at all. Many clients find the most powerful results come from combining approaches. During your free discovery call, we’ll discuss what might work best for you.

              What's the difference between CBT and holistic therapies?

              CBT is an evidence-based talking therapy that helps change thought patterns and behaviours. Holistic therapies work with your body’s energy and physical systems. Together, they address both mind and body for deeper healing.

              Can holistic therapies help with clinical conditions like anxiety or depression?

              Holistic therapies are complementary approaches that can support your wellbeing alongside clinical treatment. I’ll always recommend you maintain contact with your GP for serious mental health conditions.

              Do you work with children?

              Yes, I’m qualified in therapeutic counselling for children using art and play therapy, which are often more effective than traditional talk therapy for young people.

              How long does therapy take?

              This varies greatly depending on your needs. Some clients find relief in 6-8 sessions, whilst others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll discuss this during your initial consultation.

              What can I expect from my first session?

              Your first session is a safe space to share your story. We’ll explore what’s brought you here, discuss your goals, and begin to create a personalised treatment plan that feels right for you.
