My Approach

Hello and welcome. My name is Milou (she/her). I am an Integrative and Wild Therapist working indoors, outdoors and occasionally online.

Our world is difficult to live in. Together, we can explore how you may have adapted to what you have faced in your life and how this may not be working for you. We can find out what you might be stuck in, help you reconnect, and find ground in overwhelm. I can meet you in your shame, grief and rage. We can look at how your past and the lives of previous generations may be impacting you now. All parts of you are welcome as we find new ways of being in the world which work for you.

I work outdoors in parks and woodland in South East London. Outdoor therapy can include walking side by side in a park or woodland, sitting on a bench or under a tree. It can also include connecting with our surroundings; with the trees, plants, soil, birds, bugs, squirrels, foxes, with the rain, sun, wind and anything else we might encounter.

I also work indoors in a therapy room in the crypt of a church next to Bethnal Green tube station.

About Me

I have an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy from the Minster Centre. This includes training in body psychotherapy, humanistic psychotherapy, trauma methods, attachment theory and contemporary relational psychoanalysis. Being a Wild Therapist forms the ground of my work. Wild Therapy recognises our interconnectedness with all life and includes this in our exploration of our how we are in the world. By inviting us to step into the web of life, rather than looking at it from the outside, we practice connecting to our wild selves, to our capacity to be fully alive within ourselves and to the world.

I continually challenge and develop my work and regularly attend workshops and training courses. Recently these have included: neurodiversity and attachment trauma, decolonising my therapy practice, how to face climate breakdown and climate psychology.

I have experience working with trauma, abuse, grief and loss, identity exploration, eco-distress and climate anxiety, intergenerational trauma, migration issues, belonging and more.
