Helping families
flourish

Every family is unique, and all families face challenges. Some may encounter more difficulties than others and need support to navigate through tricky times.

WildKin aims to support families to connect with their lived stories and move towards a place of healing and connection.

A collaborative approach to family therapy

I create safe, reflective spaces where individuals and families can explore their relationships with themselves and others. My approach is flexible, incorporating nature, creativity, and meaningful activities to support connection and growth. By understanding each family’s unique experiences, we work together to develop personalised strategies for positive change.

What Wildkin offers

WildKin provides a supportive space for individuals, families, and teams to explore their relationships, navigate challenges, and foster meaningful change.

Through systemic psychotherapy, I help people reconnect with themselves, others, and the world around them.

My approach is adaptable, incorporating nature, creativity, and personalised strategies to suit the unique needs of each person or group.

Whether through therapy, consultation, or bespoke training, WildKin is here to support growth, resilience, and wellbeing.

Make a change today

  • 1. Book a consultation

    We start with a free 15 minute call to talk through your hopes and aims, and to see if we can work together. After this we'll send you an information and consent form, and confirm a date, time and place to meet.

  • 2. First session

    This is where we set goals and create a plan for working together. We’ll decide who should attend sessions, how often, explore the history of your challenge, what has or hasn’t helped before, and map out potential approaches for future sessions.

  • 3. Do the work

    We can set a schedule – weekly, fortnightly, or monthly – based on your needs and availability. Together, we’ll create a safe, trusted space for exploration, with the option to try activities in sessions and, if willing, practice tasks between them.

  • “Dom has helped me realise that therapy isn't all about talking. I've learned to notice what my body is saying, and slowing myself down when I need to find calm, rather than jumping head first into things."

    Alex, 24

  • “It's been so tranformational having Dom as a therapist. He has guided me though exploring some of my biggest insecurities. He was kind and compassionate and even made therapy fun when I needed it.”

    Lindsey, 30

  • “Being able to meet at home and out in nature was brilliant. Dom was able to really hear us as a family and helped us with our communication and understanding of what we each need to connect and find calm.”

    David, 43 and Sam, 40

  • “Dom is really down to earth, he took time to help us all feel at ease with the concept of therapy. It was good to celebrate our strengths as a family, something we had lost sight of because of the challenges we were facing.”
