Welcome to Beyond the Garden, an ecological approach to psychotherapy, counselling, supervision and training. Working in connection with the land to support our understanding of ourselves and our relationship with other living beings.

The name Beyond The Garden came about when looking out of the window of the cottage at Ffynnon Dawel; to the sky and the line of trees just beyond the edges of cultivation. Practically and metaphorically, we will work together in this liminal space; an encampment that is barely noticeable. A place where the mutuality of human movement, sound and touch amongst the rooted beings is held in loving awareness.

“We often forget that WE ARE NATURE. Nature is not something separate from us. So that when we say that we’ve lost our connection to nature, we’ve lost our connection to ourselves.”
