Welcome to
Flowers Feeling & Frequency

Flowers Feeling & Frequency grew naturally from my work as a queer wedding florist and my belief in the importance of spaces where people feel safe to slow down, reconnect with themselves and be received without having to leave parts of who they are at the door. 

​

A Deeply Human Approach

Somatic counselling offers a bottom-up approach to therapy, meaning we don’t explore your experiences only from a cognitive or thinking perspective. It's a human-centred way of working that welcomes you as a whole person being mind, body and spirit.

Our work may include compassionate conversation and nervous-system education, helping you better understand your own experiences of fight, flight, freeze and shutdown. We may explore how these states influence your emotions, relationships, choices and responses within your everyday life.

Through a somatic approach, we may also become curious about the patterns, beliefs and schemas that developed through your past experiences, particularly those that may still be quietly “running the show” today. Rather than judging these patterns or trying to remove them, we can begin to understand what they may once have protected you from and explore whether they still serve the life you want to live now.

Alongside developing a greater awareness of what your body may be communicating, we can build practical and personalised resources that help you feel more supported, present and able to respond with greater choice.

If trauma processing becomes an appropriate and meaningful part of your journey, it would always be approached collaboratively, with your informed consent and at a pace your nervous system has the capacity to hold.

You don’t need to arrive with the perfect language for what you're experiencing or know exactly where to begin. Sometimes finding the words is part of where the work starts.

​

You May Have Found Yourself Here Because: 

​

• You're navigating a break-up, relationship change or the loss of a future you imagined

• You understand your patterns intellectually but still feel caught within them emotionally or physically

• You've spent a long time caring for others, managing their emotions or placing your own needs last

• You're exploring identity, sexuality, relationships or boundaries and want an affirming space where you don’t have to explain or minimise parts of yourself

• You feel anxious, disconnected, burnt out, overwhelmed or as though your body is continually preparing for something to go wrong

• Or perhaps you simply know that something doesn’t feel right, even if you don’t yet have the words for it

​

My Philosophy & Approach

​

My training in trauma informed somatic counselling has taken me through my own deeply personal journey of understanding the connections between childhood, relationships, the nervous system, body and the adaptations we develop to remain safe, connected and accepted.

It reinforced my belief that people are not collections of symptoms to be fixed, but whole human beings deserving of curiosity, compassion and care.

For me, the alchemy of this work lies in reconnecting with who we are beneath our protective patterns, not because our pain was necessary but because meaning, choice and connection can emerge from how we choose to meet it.

I’m not here to rescue you or direct your journey. I’m here to hold a space in which you and your needs can be a priority and it would be an honour to walk alongside you through this part of your life.

​

Working Together 

​

This work is not something that needs to be rushed, and there is no fixed timeline for how long your journey should take. Consistency can help us build trust, develop a greater sense of safety within the therapeutic relationship and give your nervous system time to experience and integrate the work gradually.

For this reason, I generally recommend beginning with regular weekly sessions. Fortnightly sessions may also be appropriate depending on your needs, circumstances and what we agree together.

As the work develops, we can review the frequency and gradually reduce or bring sessions to an end whenever that feels right for you.

The process remains collaborative and client-led throughout. You will never be expected to continue for longer than you wish, and we can regularly reflect upon how the work is feeling and whether it continues to meet your needs.

SESSION FEES:

• Online 50-minute session: £40

• Reduced fee 50-minute session: £25

I believe compassionate and holistic support should be as accessible as possible. I therefore reserve a limited number of reduced fee spaces for people who would otherwise be unable to access regular somatic counselling because of their current financial circumstances. You won’t be asked to prove or justify your financial situation. If cost is a barrier, you are welcome to ask whether a reduced-fee space is currently available when you enquire.

​

​A Free Initial Conversation: 

​

Before deciding whether you would like to begin counselling, we can arrange a free introductory call of up to 30 minutes. This gives us an opportunity to get to know one another, talk briefly about what has brought you to counselling and explore what you are hoping for from the process. You can also ask any questions you may have about somatic counselling or how I personally work.

This isn’t a counselling session, and there is no pressure or obligation to continue afterwards. It's simply a chance for us both to consider whether working together feels like a safe, appropriate and supportive fit. ​​
