From Self-Doubt to Trusting Your Own Voice Again
Welcome to Start Blossoming Therapy
Hi, I'm Amy—a psychotherapist who creates safe spaces for women to reconnect with their authentic selves through gentle counselling and nature connection.
"I feel like I've lost myself somewhere along the way"
"I'm exhausted from always putting everyone else's needs before my own"
"I don't even know what I want anymore—I'm so used to asking what everyone else wants"
If these thoughts feel familiar, you're not alone. Many women find themselves caught in patterns of self-doubt, people-pleasing, and disconnection from their own inner wisdom. Therapy with me can help you gain back that self-trust and reconnection to your body, beliefs and nature.
What Therapy Is Really About
Therapy isn't about fixing what's wrong with you.
You're not broken.
Instead, it's about creating space to:
Hear your own voice beneath the noise of expectations
Understand the patterns that no longer serve you
Reconnect with the wisdom you already carry inside
Build the confidence to trust yourself again
“The Curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change”
How I Work With You
Online Therapy
Gentle, compassionate counselling from the comfort of your own space. Using nature-inspired metaphors and visualisation, we create a therapeutic environment that honours both practical needs and deeper healing.
My Approach
I work very intuitively to create an individual approach just for you. This is less about generic worksheets and predetermined treatment plans—this is therapy as unique as you are, supporting you in your journey while co-creating tools you can take away.
At the heart of my work is person-centred therapy, creating space where your authentic self can emerge naturally. This can look like moments of reflection, creativity, exploration of the past or expressing what your body is sensing in the present. I also weave in elements of parts work, helping you understand what that voice telling you to keep you safe.
Walk & Talk Therapy
Step outside traditional therapy rooms for meaningful conversations in beautiful woodland settings across Worcestershire and South Shropshire. Nature becomes our co-therapist, offering metaphors and perspective that indoor spaces simply can't provide.
You Don't Have to Stay Stuck
If you're tired of:
Second-guessing every decision you make
Feeling exhausted from the emotional strain of always putting others first
Living from your head and overthinking instead of trusting your gut
Hiding parts of yourself that don't feel "acceptable"
Imagine instead:
Making decisions with confidence, even when others disagree
Setting boundaries that protect your energy without guilt
Trusting your intuition as the valuable guide it is
Expressing your authentic self, including your spiritual beliefs
Finding your voice and using it, even when it shakes
“In every walk in nature, one receives far more than they seek”
Why Choose to Work With Me
You value connection with nature and sense there's wisdom to be found in natural rhythms and cycles.
You're seeking more than symptom management—you want to understand yourself deeply and make lasting changes.
You're ready to move beyond just coping toward actually thriving and trusting yourself.
You have had previous therapy, but not felt safe to be your true self maybe you hold spiritual beliefs that you've felt unable to share in therapy settings or had your trust broken by a therapist in the past.
You sense there's more to healing than talking about problems—you want to reconnect with your body, your intuition, and your authentic voice.
