For Clients

You may be wondering if counselling is for you?

I offer a confidential, supportive, safe space where you will be respected and accepted for who you are.

I will listen intently and deeply to you, trying as far as possible to understand things from your point of view, and be there to support you while you unravel and manage experiences, anxieties and concerns.

You can sit or walk with me while you express difficult or painful feelings and emotions, with no judgement or expectation. 

If you decide to commit to the process, profound insight and positive change can happen. You can develop greater self awareness, build resilience and increase your self-worth, this in turn empowers you and enables you to find your own solutions to move on.

What about Equine Assisted Therapy?

Working with a horse, pony, donkey or other animal adds another layer to the process. This is not a talking therapy any more. It's a chance to slow down, to experience the present moment surrounded by nature and animals.

You don't need any experience with horses and there is no riding involved. We can observe the animals at rest and play in their own space or begin to interact with them through touch, petting, brushing, or simply standing closer to them. 

If horses and ponies are not your thing, you can spend time with the other animals, for example goats, dogs, hens or guinea pigs!

Initial consultation: free of charge.To learn more, send me an email to book an initial twenty-minute telephone or video call. There is absolutely no pressure to proceed; the decision is yours.

Counselling Sessions: £35 an hour. It is best to meet regularly, and the frequency and number of sessions can vary from just a few to a long-term commitment. This all depends on your needs, and we will regularly discuss how you feel things are going for you and how you want to proceed. 

Equine Assisted Sessions: £65 for 90 minutes. The first session/assessment is done face to face or online. You will need to get to the location yourself (it's 25 minutes from Nairn or Inverness)

Please feel free to contact me by email if you have any questions.  jane@therowantree.org. I will try my best to reply to you within 48 hours.

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
