Many of the people I work with have found solace in the natural world and in the garden. I’ve worked with families at a children’s centre allotment, with pupils in school and in community gardens and so I am now offering support sessions in the garden. You can book a session to take place in your own garden or at my own cutting patch at the Grow for Life therapeutic garden at Dorothy House Hospice in Winsley.

Gardening offers a gentle way to move through grief. The repetition of digging, planting, and tending gives grieving hands something steady to do while the mind processes loss at its own pace. There's also a quiet comfort in nurturing new life alongside the sadness, and in watching something grow again reminds us that healing, like a garden, unfolds slowly and in its own season.
