I am so pleased you are here. I am a human first. I won the Muddy Stilettos award for best well being specialist 2025 and was voted for by the public and my beautiful community. Community is everything to me and this award especially meaningful because you voted for me. I am passionate about supporting others to find sustainable ways to tend to their nervous systems in order to thrive in this busy world. This is all through sustainable self care. Your way! After several years working in the fashion, jewellery and publishing industries and burn out I undertook training firstly as a therapeutic Counsellor and over the years have added to my portfolio of Integrative therapy. I am an Integrative and intuitive wellbeing self care therapist. I am an integrative psychotherapist, clinical hypnotherapist and a BACP registered integrative counsellor. I am also a mindfulness coach and meditation teacher, yoga and face yoga teacher, advanced EFT (tapping) master therapist, Vietnamese facial reflexology practitioner trained in EMDR and NLP practices. I have been mentoring for several years and am pleased to offer creative clinical supervision to trainee therapists, counsellors, coaches and anyone seeking support in the therapeutic place. I am a qualified Eco therapist and offer ‘Chai & Wander/ Wonder’ sessions (these are walk & talk sessions involving lots of chai if that is required! ). I am also a gentle release and EnerQi practitioner which use the model of traditional Chinese medicine as its foundation to support with whole mind body rejuvenation. I am trained in the therapeutic use of colour and sound and work creativity using different modalities to aid the therapeutic process. It’s all about the relationship which is person centred based on congruence - that means I work on a programme in harmony with your needs. I support people from all stages of life with their wellbeing, to find success in self care, guide them through the challenges we all face and to help them make connections with their mindbody (I refer to it as mindbody as it is all connected). I support them to find balance through The Sensory Journey. I have guided many people along their journeys whether it has been through one to one support with children & young people, adults & couples or group work - it has been an honour.

It is my honour to do this with compassion, respect and inclusivity. https://www.surreyhillswellness.co.uk/sensory-journey daily 0.75 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600372952054-DZ3OUO1HWFQL8KD0KXN3/jenny+in+field.JPG The Sensory Journey - CHAI & WANDER / CHAI & WONDER As an experienced and certified eco walk & talk therapist I am passionate about nature being our co-therapist. These specially curated sessions connect us with nature and its wonderful restorative properties. Depending on your needs we will incorporate a guided wander. It is well evidenced that being in nature can give us back our energy and vitality, restore our mood and promote well being. This journey can be tailored to your needs for example and if incorporating as part of a package I may also include the use of sound healing with crystal bowls and or a homemade bircher breakfast jar to be enjoyed during the walk. Often I will provide an audio for you to enjoy as part of this experience. We will need from 60 - 120 minutes for these sessions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600422135195-FRDF38157205N50I9QMW/chapati.JPG The Sensory Journey - FROM MY MOTHER’S KITCHEN… My mother has been my greatest teacher. She taught me that to show kindness to others one must also go inwards and tend to our internal and external home that is the body and mind. This journey is based on the concept of “Kindfulness” towards oneself. We will go on a journey of compassion and tenderness as we practice the ritual of self-massage, heart coherence exercises and EFT - tapping therapy. If this is an in person session I will incorporate the wonderfully healing element of facial reflexology, gentle release and EnerQi. The journey will end with a guided visualisation on compassion and tenderness. This session is based on remedies that my mother has shared with me and we will be nourished with a home made herbal tea or chai and a nourishing edible treat based on her restorative recipe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600423262133-AWC9WK4F1BTVIXVCX8K4/elia-pellegrini-oLvCVPZrNxk-unsplash.jpg The Sensory Journey - EXPLORE As a trained and experienced talking therapist , integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, I will support you to find out what will help you in this journey. In my experience I have found some people come to me for talking therapy and prefer to explore their creative side through walking, eco therapy or using art as a therapeutic tool. During this Journey I will gently introduce many of the modalities I work with and we will explore this through talking therapy, eft - tapping therapy, the use of mindfulness and weather permitting - walking in nature. Although being outside in nature has been incredibly healing for the people I have supported, come rain or shine we can rely on the elements to hold us as we let go. I may also suggest gentle movement in the form of yoga as this has been incredible in soothing a tired nervous system through restorative postures and the use of mantras and affirmations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600358347308-LZR3XSVKQFLRLZEU57YP/acorn.jpg The Sensory Journey - SEED… During Seed The Sensory Journey we will look at our seeds of thought and how our thoughts and beliefs (perhaps from childhood) may have shaped our thinking. Thoughts do not come in a straight line they come from so many different directions and have can have impact on our sense of self. It has been said we have thousands of thoughts that enter and leave our brain everyday. I will support you in looking at some of your thoughts and we will work on exercises that have a positive impact on strengthening your neural pathways to reframe these beliefs. I may incorporate hypnosis in this journey. During this journey we may explore aspects of self through creative writing, hypnotherapy, yoga, exploration with parts / feelings boards (similar to the concept of a vision board but looking at the part that may be stuck) and you will be guided on a beautiful visualisation, We will look at aspects of your younger self and we will do this in a safe and supported space. Some people like to add on Vietnamese facial reflexology to this element. You can also add breakfast or lunch as part of this session to make it into a beautiful self compassionate retreat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600375074835-8ZLYTQL9382KLZWIEDVY/keenan-constance-GYy6xdMN4zQ-unsplash.jpg The Sensory Journey - BOUNDARY… A large part of self care is releasing what does not serve a purpose and letting go of these limiting thoughts is setting boundaries – for ourselves and others. This journey will focus on these attachments and we will work together to release with kindness; to allow room for space and clarity. Boundaries are different for everyone but they are essentially guidelines on how we respond to others. Setting boundaries helps immensely in our communication with others. Tapping therapy combined with movement is very effective for releasing limiting beliefs so we will spend time talking about these beliefs and tapping along to release them. Automatic thought writing has been known to release unconscious thoughts on paper allowing for space and reflection – and we will also incorporate this into the session to free up space to start working towards better boundaries. I may use hypnosis during the sessions - this is very gentle and non invasive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/86329ba3-dfec-4de2-bc57-e3fe96acfeba/DSC06362.jpg The Sensory Journey - ROOT… We are bombarded by thoughts – thousands come and go each and every day. Quite often when we are stuck in a thought it can manifest into our bodies and we experience ill health. Our wellbeing is affected and the cycle can often continue. It may be difficult to perceive but by strengthening our neural pathways; through soothing and kind self talk, working on boundaries, meditation, talking and doing things that nurture you these stuck thoughts can diminish over time. This journey will focus on the concept of mindfulness and will look at how we use boundaries to support this. I will show how you can stay present to what is going on around you in a kind and nurturing way. We will work on soothing strategies that you can access at any time. I will also record an audio for you to use in your own time. which is a progressive muscle relaxation that will gently reset the nervous system. This journey will include a mindful eating exercise and we will also explore our sense of scent with the use of essential oils. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/dcece52b-b1d2-4b63-b931-aaef2ce510a5/wrapping+scarf+around+me_websize.jpg The Sensory Journey A GENTLE RELEASE and EnerQi facial rejuvenation. I am delighted to offer this wonderfully soothing and powerful therapy. Gentle Release Therapy is considered a mixture of energy work and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) which combined with gentle techniques that allow the body to release in a restorative and soothing way. I have experienced this for myself virtually – which was remarkable as I wasn’t sure how effective it would be online however I released tension in parts of my body that I didn’t realise were there. As a qualified Gentle Release Practitioner my main focus is supporting you to regain balance in your body and holding a space for you to explore the release. I have used this wonderful therapy alongside hypnotherapy to induce a relaxed and calm state before starting the release work. How does it work? I am pleased to offer these treatments in person now but they can be done virtually! You are lying down and fully clothed. I have also worked on clients that want to remain seated. I use Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to understand what's going on in the body. By placing my hands gently on parts of the body I will support the release. The parts of the body are linked to the organs according to TCM. In addition to the organs I will also work on cranial release (head / neck). We also have extremely gentle emotional release techniques that we can use if there is an issue in particular that's causing you stress. In addition to the TCM work with the abdominal organs we also incorporate cranial release into treatments which involves an extremely light touch that allows the body to further release. We also have techniques that release the endocrine (hormone system) and lymphatic system. All treatments are tailored to deal with what your body needs to release at that moment in time. EnerQi can be added onto this session which includes face massage using Gua Sha and Jade roller to target specific points on the face. This has had wonderful restorative and relaxing effects on my clients - men and women love it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600362312791-FBA5IVPSN63L6T8P1GNH/Jo+asleep.JPG The Sensory Journey NOCTURNE… I have experienced insomnia since childhood and I know how debilitating it can be. During this journey we will look at your patterns of sleep and support you with gentle tweaks that may help towards better rest. We are all different and having supported many people over the years with sleep related issues and I am certain we can find a way to help with your sleep journey. How to cultivate a loving relationship with your mindbody. During an in person session we may do a combination of the following: a series of gentle restorative yoga movements - this is very gentle and aims to promote deep release. sleep focussed mindfulness rituals - techniques that I have used over the years to support my sleep journey. a beautiful soothing guided visualisation to send you on a restorative journey of deep rest. use the restorative power of facial reflexology and Gentle Release Therapy. use a hypnosis audio. will also show you how to incorporate self-massage into your sleep routine. Practise the art of automatic thought writing and drawing. Use tapping and talking therapy to unfurl ruminating thoughts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600372001915-Z83PBNOOYK1WCJ6K4O8E/kirsty+daughter+mood+board.JPG The Sensory Journey - WORKING WITH PARTS I have used Art as a therapeutic tool to support my own wellbeing for some time now. My experience over the years has been to encourage using different modalities such as art and writing to articulate feelings that we cannot express through the spoken word. I am hugely passionate about therapeutic boards; also known as vision or story boards. At times we are unable to articulate in words how we feel so I encourage the use of these boards as a way to tap into our unconscious mind. You do not need to be good at Art to do this! We use images, photographs, dried flowers, magazine clippings anything that helps with the making of your board. These boards can be used in a number of ways from working out the next journey that you want to go on or mapping out what may be hindering your journey in tbe present..these boards are also used for inner child work and combined with hypnotherapy a wonderfully supportive tool for your well-being journey. We will start the session with a wonderful creative visualisation and tapping therapy. I will provide all of the tools you need for this wonderfully creative and enlightening session. Board pictured created by a beautiful young client of mine (aged 18) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600421321301-IIW8RN3B8NVPFXHFPC2X/jason-leung-MN251xZ9mBk-unsplash.jpg The Sensory Journey - PRISM..using colour as a therapeutic tool You may find that certain colours create a certain energy when you either wear or are surrounded by them. Colour has been widely used for centuries to support well-being. Having completed training in the use of colour as a therapeutic tool; I have always been fascinated by patterns and shapes but more importantly the colour that feels like home. Your internal compass. We will look in detail at what this means to you. During this session we will look at the colours that are connected to your internal compass, your colour chart and focus on one or two energy centres in your body that may need support. This session will involve a soothing guided visualisation using each energy centre in your body to promote a sense of balance and grounding. The beautiful addition of crystal quartz singing bowls and hypnotherapy may complement your journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1601501508629-BY45FMV3DSE7M31IYCUP/feather.jpg The Sensory Journey - CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE I have supported children and young people in a therapeutic capacity for over 20 years. I am a qualified creative youth well-being mindfulness coach. Having worked in a charity supporting families with disabled children I have training in managing behaviour, autism and disability awareness and inclusion. I have also held groups for children and their families. I have worked at schools and support children & young people of all ages. My ethos is based on the concept of the triad of support. That is - where possible - to work with the child, parent guardian and teacher. My support has been well received by the young people I have supported over the years. Support includes woodland walks and eco-therapy, therapeutic art, writing for wellness, tapping therapy, mindfulness, sand tray work and meditation. During the pandemic I have supported teachers on line with relaxation and mindfulness. I am currently offering well-being support at several schools in Surrey and London. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600422294278-Y82T3CX87SY0CMPOHCYA/shane-rounce-DNkoNXQti3c-unsplash.jpg The Sensory Journey - COMMUNITY Growing up in a community in South London; our home was always open to everyone.

I was a part of Holland & Barrett’s me.no.pause campaign, an ambassador for NEOM Organics and held several in-store sessions for their staff team and clients. I have collaborated with Odacite, Lululemon, Sweaty Betty and Kiki K. I have worked with corporate clients to support the well-being of their staff. There are options for everyone. https://www.surreyhillswellness.co.uk/tsandcs daily 0.75 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600540297504-AJ04HW4B5G29BSA8PB0O/toa-heftiba-PcXyUQ9Ipl8-unsplash.jpg Ts & Cs - Our Safety… I am a registered member of the British association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and I adhere to their code of ethics. I have a duty of care towards you as my client and myself as your therapist. I will be asking that you read and agree to a contract which will be emailed to you before the first session. Our safety is paramount during this time it is important you are responsible for your wellbeing and others. If you have any signs of COVID or another virus you will take the appropriate measures and notify me as soon as you are physically able if you are unable to attend a session. If you are in a high-risk group please consider that your safety cannot be guaranteed and it is your responsibility to decide whether a face-to-face meeting is appropriate at this time. If we meet outside my treatment room I would encourage you to bring your own face covering, hand sanitizer, tissues and drinks. If I am visiting, you in your home I will need access to washing facilities, and I will also have anti-bacterial hand gel and mask if required.

Setting up my own private practise within this setting I had the opportunity to work with people experiencing anxiety, depression and trauma. I also worked with relationships (between the family unit and their child/ren). I continue to support children and young people within a home and school setting and work as a school therapist for part of my week. I was proud to be a part of Holland & Barretts me.no.pause campaign raising awareness around the menopause. I am passionate about supporting women through their menopause journey. I am also in private practice and my offering is extended to one to one work, couples and groups. I am happy to visit in your own home (subject to a risk assessment) and I also work from a clinic in Guildford, Surrey. During lockdown I have been offering therapeutic support via zoom and have reinstated walking sessions within the Surrey Hills. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600426828606-ES04XI57IACD2CIATVL8/ravi-roshan-_AdUs32i0jc-unsplash+copy.jpg Talking therapy - Talking therapies differ… in their focus and it can be confusing for people to understand the different terms used and what is right for one person may not work for another. One size does not fit all so I always suggest following one’s instinct and ‘gut’ when choosing a therapist. First impressions count especially with a therapeutic relationship – ideally you are looking for one based on unconditional positive regard, trust and rapport. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600539074854-TSGGMLP2EZ3D96XD2YRL/daiga-ellaby-KkckGwtNGeE-unsplash.jpg Talking therapy - Here are some of the things I have supported my clients through… Using mindfulness to help symptoms of anxiety and depression. Working on strengthening neural pathways to release old patterns of behaviour to support relationship with self and others. Cultivating self-compassion and working on forgiveness of self and others. Supporting with the development of soothing self-talk to release limiting beliefs. Creating positive language relating to body image and limiting beliefs. Listening to stories that need to be heard and supporting on re-writing unhelpful experiences that have contributed to self-doubt, lack of confidence and fear. Finding a sense of purpose in their life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600538141638-EQZZQ4D9DKYM4JYSI47B/paypal-me-ninekoepfer-y1PODdeHeTk-unsplash.jpg Talking therapy - People often come to me for these reasons… Social and health anxiety, depression and a challenge to their well-being Trauma experienced through grief Working on a life transition The stages of the menopause Relationship guidance between couples and within the family unit Support for a child or young person https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600538103220-BH6IRAWA2LY88MOVJ6PD/paris+stairs.JPG Talking therapy - YOUR JOURNEY IS UNIQUE TO YOU… These are the main modalities of therapy that I have been trained in and a brief description of each. First and fore-most I work in a person-centred way. I will encourage you to draw on your unique strengths and use the insight about yourself to encourage your personal growth – on a mind body and soul level. Humanistic: This is based on the principle of looking at the individual as a whole person which includes marrying the fundamental connection between body, spirit and soul. Mindfulness-based: I have been practising mindfulness for a number of years now and incorporate this with all of my sessions – one to ones to group work. I like to focus on the concept of kindfulness. That is to become aware of thoughts and feelings and accepting them with kindness and a sense of curiosity. A typical session may include using specific techniques such as breath work and tapping. Arts or creative: I have completed training in the creative use of Art as a therapeutic tool. Using creative processes such as drawing, painting and applying drama as a means to explore and communicate difficult or confusing feelings without talking. Solution focussed – also known as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: Exploring your thoughts and the way you think and act in your space and in the presence of others.

Using movement, breath, touch, symbolism, and nourishment, this retreat invites you to slow down and meet yourself with curiosity and compassion. Through the symbolic use of nesting dolls, we will explore different layers of the self: the parts that protect, feel, think, and hold our experiences, while staying rooted in the body as a place of safety and connection. This is not about fixing or changing yourself it is about welcoming each part and allowing them to belong within the whole. What the Retreat Includes Somatic Yoga An accessible, all-levels practice focusing on sensing rather than striving. Movement and breath support the heart, head, and lungs, inviting spaciousness, grounding, and nervous system regulation. Inner Mapping with Nesting Dolls (Parts Work) Using nesting dolls as a tactile and symbolic tool, we will gently explore different parts of the self: inner roles, emotions, and protective layers. This playful yet meaningful practice supports self-understanding, boundaries, and integration, allowing each part to be seen and held within the whole. Touch, Presence & Emotional Softening Through guided, optional self-touch and embodied awareness, we will explore how emotions live in the body, particularly around the heart, head, and breath. These practices support release, soothing, and reconnection, offered as a self-practice guided with care and respect. Who This Retreat Is For This retreat is open to anyone seeking: A deeper connection with themselves Gentle nervous system support Creative and embodied self-exploration Rest, nourishment, and emotional ease All practices are inclusive, adaptable, and optional. No prior experience with yoga, therapy, or parts work is required. Layers of the Self is an invitation to come home to every part of you with softness, curiosity, and care. Ati and Louise are long-standing friends and collaborators who bring over 25 years of combined experience in therapeutic and wellbeing work. Their approach is rooted in warmth, trust, and deep respect for the whole person, blending yoga therapy, somatic movement, and integrative therapeutic models. Together, they offer a grounded, intuitive, and thoughtful space, drawing on their collective knowledge, lived experience, and wisdom to support meaningful connection, healing, and integration.

This particular offering focusses on the root of the body and the settling of the mind: the foundation that supports our sense of safety, stability, and belonging. When the root is supported, the nervous system can soften, and the mind can begin to rest. Through gentle somatic body practices, we will invite slow, respectful movement and awareness to the base of the spine, encouraging the release of stagnant or held energy. These practices are subtle and grounding, allowing the body to lead at its own pace, without force or expectation. From this place of embodied support, we will transition into a longer yoga nidra–style guided rest, offering deep nourishment for the mind. This extended visualisation invites the brain and nervous system into a state of profound calm, supporting clarity, steadiness, and inner quiet. Everything offered is invitational and designed to cultivate a sense of safety, containment, and being held. This is not a space to strive or achieve. t is a return to the body as a home, and to rest as a necessity. You will be further nourished with a warming cup of golden milk and a homemade sweet treat inspired by my mother, Fatma, offered as a gesture of care and comfort Alongside group gatherings, I am delighted to offer one-to-one sessions at the Harry Edwards Foundation, providing personalised support tailored to where you are physically, emotionally, and energetically. When: Thursday 7th May Time: 6.30pm - 8.00pm Venue: Harry Edwards Foundation Cost: £30.00 Book: The Gentle Return https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f53c90d005583339394059e/1600547170128-027ECMZX97LZ6XDEML5N/jenny+barefoot.JPG Events Coming home: a retreat An invitation to return, not to a place we need to find or create, but to something that is already here. So often, we live at a distance from ourselves. The mind moves quickly, planning and anticipating, while the body remains quietly present. This half-day retreat offers space to gently reconnect with both, allowing body and mind to meet again in the present moment. Coming back into the body can feel like coming home to yourself. The body is always here breathing, sensing, responding, holding experience without judgement. When we bring awareness back into the body, the mind can soften, and we begin to feel more whole. Coming home to the mind–body connection is not about fixing or improving who we are. It is about integration: allowing everything that is already here- sensation, thought, emotion, and breath- to exist together. From this place of integration, we may experience greater ease, clearer boundaries, and a deeper sense of belonging within ourselves. What the Retreat Offers This nourishing half-day retreat weaves together movement, stillness, touch, and shared nourishment to support a felt sense of coming home. Through accessible therapeutic practices - including yoga, somatic movement, guided restorative touch, mindful facial practices, and reflective rest. Participants are invited to slow down, listen inwardly, and reconnect with themselves in a gentle, supportive environment. We will also work with nesting dolls as a tactile and symbolic way to explore layers of self, boundaries, and integration, alongside dried flowers to invite beauty, ritual, and care into the space. All practices are inclusive, adaptable, and open to all abilities. No prior experience is needed. Includes: • Two gentle yoga sessions • Somatic and restorative touch practices • Guided visualisation and creative reflection • A nourishing two-course lunch.
