About Me
Rachel Hamilton, Outdoor Therapist, MBACP, BA Hons
Throughout my life I have found myself drawn to the outdoors. As a struggling teenager it provided comfort, when working in the city it gave me a space to breathe and as a mum it is a place to reconnect and find clarity.
Being outdoors offers time and space to pause and explore what is on your mind. We can walk or sit together, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
I offer professional outdoor counselling and psychotherapy in beautiful natural environments around Plymouth and SE Cornwall.
You set the pace: we can walk, meander or sit. Often we do all three.
I am discreet and will listen with acceptance and understanding.
This is your space to explore what you need to move forward in your life.
I work with:
Stress
Depression
Anxiety
Burnout
Feeling stuck
Low mood
Bereavement and loss
Self-esteem
Relationship difficulties
Life crisis
