ONLINE COUNSELLING

ABOUT ALL COUNSELLING
At Acorn therapy, I offer a variety of counselling services tailored to the unique needs and wishes of each client. Here is an overview of THE services and their associated costs.
INNER RHYTHM WORK
I provide a variety of drum therapy workshops and groups that can be one-off or weekly/monthly. This is an opportunity to explore your inner landscape and express your creativity in a safe and supportive environment.
WORKSHOPS/ TRAINNING
I provide talks and workshops in the UK and Uganda on a variety of mental health topics, including options for 30 or 60-minute talks as well as half-day mindfulness, creative arts, and employee bonding workshops. All our talks and workshops are customisable to meet your organisation’s needs. Whatsapp or email to enquire or schedule a consultation
PUBLIC SPEAKING
If you’re looking for an engaging speaker to bring your event to life, I’d love to join you! I’m available to discuss Emotional Wellbeing at conferences, workshops, seminars, and more. My style is informal and inclusive, and I may even incorporate drumming and sensory activities to make the experience even more memorable.
African Diaspora
Living in a new country can be exciting, but it can also bring challenges—navigating different cultures, feeling caught between worlds, and carrying the pressures of family and community back home. I provide respectful, non-judgemental counselling for Africans in the Diaspora, embracing all forms of diversity and supporting you through these unique experiences. If this feels relevant to you, I’m here to listen and help.
Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)

I offer online therapy for individuals in Taunton, Somerset, Devon, across the UK, Uganda, and worldwide. Wherever you are, you can access confidential, professional support to help you manage stress, improve wellbeing, and feel more in control.

I also work with organisations through Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), providing easy access to mental health support for staff. This includes one-to-one counselling, manager support, and practical tools to build a positive and resilient workplace.

Let’s work together to create a supportive environment where people can feel well and do their best.
