Online counselling & coaching · North Wales & across the UK
Come home to yourself
the part of you that you forgot was there
Gentle, person-centred counselling and practical life coaching, rooted in nature. For busy minds, tired hearts, and anyone ready for what comes next.
Why nature?
We were made for the woods
With ADD and a busy mind, I could never get on with sitting still and meditating indoors. Outside, among the trees, it came naturally. Nature was my doorway in, and now meditation is a practice I love. I'll help you find the way in that suits you. Lea
For almost all of human history we lived as hunter-gatherers. Our bodies and nervous systems grew up outdoors, reading the light, the weather and the rustle in the undergrowth.
Modern life keeps us indoors, on screens and on alert. When we step into woodland, countryside or any green space, something in us starts to settle. We come home to a part of ourselves we didn't know we'd forgotten.
That's the thread running through all my work, whether we're talking online, building a plan for your future, or foraging together in a Welsh wood.
Space to settle
Grounding practices woven into every session to calm a stressed nervous system.
Room for a busy mind
Mindfulness that works with how you're wired, often outdoors and on the move.
A way back to you
Understanding where you've been, and a clear sense of where you're going.
Try it for yourself
Wake up your animal senses
This is the short practice I share with many of my clients. Head outside to a garden, park or wood, press play, and let your senses lead the way, just as they did for our hunter-gatherer ancestors.
Find your path
Where are you right now?
Everyone arrives at a different place. Choose the one that sounds most like you. If you're not sure, just get in touch and we'll work it out together.

A warm, non-judgemental space to understand what's going on. I'm a gentle, person-centred counsellor and I support adults with anxiety, overwhelm, ADHD, burnout, low confidence and big life changes.

Counselling
Space to process, heal and understand yourself.
Life coaching
When you're ready, a plan for the life you want next.
Community & groups
Keep growing with others, out in the wild.
Join from anywhere
Sessions are by video, so join from wherever you feel at ease: the garden, a park bench or your kitchen table.
Nature between sessions
I'll suggest simple things to try outside, like a sit spot, a phone-free walk or noticing the season turn.
Space and momentum
Sometimes you need room to process, sometimes a nudge toward action. We use both.
In clients' words
Lea is great! I'd describe her as a friend with a built-in therapist. She really listens and comes up with strategies tailored to you. I actually look forward to our sessions.
Lea combines genuine candour with empathy and encouragement, creating a space that feels both supportive and motivating.
I felt instantly at ease with her and the group. An antidote to the pressures of modern life. I will definitely be back!
About me
I'm Lea
I'm an integrative counsellor, life coach and nature educator based near Wrexham in North Wales. I've spent more than 20 years supporting people's mental health and wellbeing, first as a mentor for university students and young people, and for the last 10 years as a counsellor.
I'm also a mum, and I run Woodland Classroom with my husband, so I know what it's like to juggle a lot and lose sight of yourself along the way. Clients tell me our sessions feel grounding, honest and easy, like talking to someone who actually gets it.
