Wiltshire Outdoor Counselling

Hello

A warm welcome to you, my name is Aimee Joslin. I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor registered with the BACP. I work outdoors in nature in a beautiful woodland setting easily accessible from Devizes, Trowbridge or Westbury ,Wiltshire, UK . I can also offer online, face-to-face in therapy rooms or written email therapy.

I am also trained as a group facilitator and support parents of children with SEN in parent peer groups.

Fees

Outdoor Counselling £65 per 50 min session

Room-based or on-line sessions £65 per 50 min session

Email therapy £65 per exchange ( approx 750 word min)

I offer discounts for weekly blocks of 6,10 or 12 paid in advance.

Are you an unpaid Carer?

I offer up to 10 sessions at £35 per 50-minute session for unpaid carers in receipt of Carers Allowance or the element in UC (proof is required and a waiting list exists).

I operate a 48 hour cancellation policy or the charge will be made.

Philosophy of outdoors

I believe counselling outdoors adds an additional therapeutic quality to the work we do together. Using nature and the elements as guiding tools can support you to explore the challenges you face, your relationships and your place in the world. My approach is to provide a non-judgmental, empathic and collaborative space for you to bring all that you are struggling with.

I work within a beautiful woodland setting (see below). I offer a 15-30 minute call free of charge to answer your questions about counselling, how I work and help you to make the best decision for your needs.

Single-Session Therapy. £90 for 90 mins.

What is Single Session Therapy?

Single-session therapy works to focus on a particular presenting issue or aspect of your experience in one single session. There are limits to working with grief, expectant grief (feelings of loss while someone is dying) and traumatic experiences as it is not safe to explore these in one session. It can be used stand-alone to gain clarity or insight or as a precursor to ongoing work either with myself or another therapist if that is what you wish.

How does it work?

When we agree to work together we will discuss what you would like to focus on and any outcome you may wish to achieve. . We will follow a framework of introduction, exploration and next steps. We will use strategies and tools to focus our work and these can be a range of techniques from mind mapping to breath work or even some creativity.

Where does it take place?

Discuss whether you would like to work outdoors, online or in a therapy room. The price is the same.

Join us on Fridays throughout May 2025.

The Mission

What can I expect if we agree to work together?

This is no-obligation and I will always suggest you take some time to consider what we have discussed.

If we agree to work together I will send you a contract and an intake form via email.
