Counselling and Psychotherapy Service
A very warm welcome to you.
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Anxious, exhausted or depressed?
Life can feel 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, however, I can offer a warm,
therapeutic, non-judgmental space where you can hear yourself. That alone can be surprisingly powerful.

About Me
Hello, and a very warm welcome to The Therapeutic Camper, based in Warwickshire, and I also offer a UK wide online service.
I approach our conversations with gentle curiosity, listening to understand what is going on for you. Together, we can explore this within the warm, safe, non-judgmental 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 My Approach 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 you choose in-person sessions, you can opt to include my therapy dog, Sonnie, registered with Canine Concern, and please do just ask, either prior to or within the session itself.
In-person sessions are held in my Glamping Pod, based in Wolston.
Wolston is commutable by bus (No.86) 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 headspace to process your session, before heading into life again.
Welcome to The Pod
Being in nature supports emotional well-being. I chose the pod for its curved, organic architecture - blending warmth and protection in a natural setting.
This gentle, yet inviting space nurtures feelings of safety, warmth and trust to create an environment for a strong therapeutic connection to grow.
Inside the pod the gentle curves and natural finishes feel less clinical and more human, a little like a supportive hug from the space itself.
Human's can only heal and grow when they feel safe, so a therapeutic space which is non-judgmental, with the ability to build trust and safety for clients and the counsellor is central to our work together.
