MyHill2Climb Approach
A unique therapeutic method that combines the power of metaphor with personalised treatment and support.
Every challenge in life can feel like a hill to climb - some steep and daunting, others more manageable.
My approach helps you understand your personal hills, prepare for the journey, and take meaningful steps forward at your own pace.
Understanding Your Mental Health Journey
The hill metaphor helps us picture and explore your unique mental health challenges. Whether you're facing long-term struggles like grief, depression, or social anxiety, or day-to-day difficulties that feel overwhelming, each hill deserves understanding and care.
Using attributes like steepness, terrain, and weather conditions, we can visualise what you're experiencing. Your hill might feel impossibly steep today, or like a long trek that will take weeks to navigate. Together, we'll map out your personal landscape.
My counselling practice in Newbury, Berkshire is built on evidence-based methods, but I understand that individual needs are different. I structure and adjust my approach specifically for you, helping you move forward and heal in your own way.
How It Works
-
Understanding Your Hill
We explore the challenges you're facing, whether they're major life changes or daily struggles. Every hill has its own terrain, and understanding yours is the first step.
-
Preparing for Your Journey
Like any climb, preparation matters. We work together to develop your toolkit—grounding techniques, self-care practices, and support networks to help you feel secure and ready.
-
Taking Steps Forward
The experience shows that preparing for and taking those first few steps can unlock the possibility of big strides forward. Progress happens at your pace, one step at a time.
