Understanding who we are is important as we all strive to expand our self awareness. Nature encourages survival…
I strongly believe that you have the resources you need… perhaps we just need to remove the obstacles that stand in your way and help you to flourish.
My vision is inspired by:
Psychoanalyst Karen Horney (1885-1952) who believed individuals can develop…
“just as an acorn develops into an oak”.
As such, we are all predisposed to grow, to flourish, to feel good and here at oak tree therapies, my aim is to work with you as we seek to discover what you need…and use the tools we have to help you live life the way you choose.

Catrina is lovely!! Listens without interrupting, asks all the right questions, doesn't pretend to know all the answers to everything straight away but gives very good advice and is super reassuring!!
