Cindy Rice

I am a qualified person centred counsellor and Wild therapist working indoors and outdoors. I offer a warm safe compassionate space from which to gently explore what you may bring. Whether you are experiencing a crisis or just wishing to challenge old patterns and vulnerabilities, together we can find a different way of being from within you, to bring about change. I value the connection with nature, which can facilitate being more present and an acceptance of self, aiding this process. I have a particular interest in the therapeutic nature of water, having direct experience of the mental health benefits of cold water dipping and the psychological attunement offered by moving water.

I work with you to co-create an environment that you can feel safe and connected enough for compassionate exploration of the vulnerable aspects of self, with the belief, that much of what we seek is within ourselves. I can offer the opportunity for this work to move outdoors* where our inherent connection with nature can help facilitate this process.

After completing a psychology degree, I trained as a person centred counsellor with additional training in working therapeutically with children and young people. I further developed my practice, completing an immersive training in Wild therapy which explores our innate ability to connect authentically with the other than human. 

Cold Water Dipping*

While I cannot offer specific cold water training I can use my regular Coldwater dipping experience (2017-present) together with my psychotherapy training/experience to offer specific therapeutic support to accompany you on your Coldwater dipping journey.

*I am insured for both indoor and outdoor talking therapy, but any activities need to be taken at your own risk. This is only offered with you agreeing to take responsibility for your own risk assessment and making sure you stay within your own physical capabilities.

The first session is an opportunity for us to meet, share some of your story and see if we feel we can work together.

If what you have read feels right for you, please get in contact for initial telephone conversation.
