Counselling and Psychotherapy Service
A warm welcome to you.
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Exhausted?
Life just feels too much?
Life can be overwhelming and exceptionally hard at times. It is brave to ask for help when you are struggling and I would like to be your helping hand. I cannot promise to fix things for you, however I can listen and give you a warm,
therapeutic, non-judgemental space where you can hear yourself and that can be surprisingly powerful.

About Me
Hello, and a very warm welcome to The Therapeutic Camper, based in Warwickshire.
I'm curious about you and what is happening for you. We can explore this together within the warm, safe, non-judgemental space of therapy.
My name is Val and I counsel Adults and Young People over 11 years old. I am a former Childline and secondary school counsellor. You can find out more about the type of counsellor I am here. I am a registered BACP member - Val McFadden Profile and hold an enhanced DBS for Adults and CYP (Children and Young People).
Everyone needs and deserves a helping hand from time to time and it can take a lot of courage and bravery to make that step. I would be privileged to take that step with you.
Animal Assisted Therapy
If booking in-person sessions, our Canine Therapy support dog, registered with Canine Concern, can be booked if you wish.
If this is something you may be interested in, please mention this in our initial consultation chat.
For in-person sessions, they are held in my Glamping Pod, based in Wolston.
Wolston is commutable by bus from Coventry and Rugby, and by car from the wider Warwickshire, Leamington Spa, Warwick, Southam, Kenilworth, Bedworth, Nuneaton and surrounding villages. Sometimes having a commute can give you a little head space to process your session, before heading into life again.
Welcome to The Pod
It is well documented that Camping and being outside in nature provides many well-being benefits, but also it is also very versatile and flexible.
I wanted to take the positive elements of this and use them in the therapeutic space, required for therapeutic relationship to be created and nurtured.
I also wanted something different, which is why a glamping pod over a garden room, bespokely designed for counselling and therapy. There is something deeply comforting about sitting inside the curved wood. The curved nature conforms more naturally to the body and feels less rigid. Curved shapes can be more non-threatening and inviting, therefore evoking feelings of safety.
Human's can only heal and grow when they feel safe, so a therapeutic space which is non-judgemental, with the ability to build trust and safety for clients and the counsellor is central to our work together.
