Estelle Asselin
I'm a counsellor and ecotherapist, based in London, and I support people in the UK and abroad, both in English and French.
I also bring to my work my own life experiences and struggles, as well as my previous careers in theater, culture and audiovisual translation fields.

I have always been interested and inspired by the diversity of life experiences. How our existences are influenced by the language we speak, the relationships we have, the land we live on. And I'm committed to offer a space to people where their experience won't be viewed and treated through a labelling or diagnosising lens, but rather understood as a way to address or manage adversity, past experiences or a current context. And my favourite medicines are connection, creativity, resilience, and a welcoming place to reflect, explore and relate.

Professional background:


  • Fully qualified counsellor, ecotherapist and nature & forest therapy guide.
  • Accredited registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)
  • Certified in Outdoor First Aid
  • Enhanced DBS check

I'm committed to my continued professional development and I am in regular supervision.

My therapeutic map is a pluralistic one which I’ve developed across years and hours of trainings:

Experience:

I’ve had experience in the third sector, offering therapy to people from all walks of life at Waterloo Community Counselling and for The Wilderness Foundation, students from London South Bank University, asylum seekers and French-speaking immigrants at the Multi-Ethnic Counselling Service.
As a nature and forest therapy guide, I’ve lead public and private forest therapy or nature connection experiences. I particularly enjoy the group and reciprocity elements of this practice, which stand apart in an increasingly individualistic society.

I also collaborated with charities, artists and companies, either by facilitating nature-based events, providing consultancy or giving talks.


I've helped individuals deal with issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, bereavement and low self-esteem, among other things.
I enjoy working with a diverse range of people and I have extensive experience supporting expats/multicultural people, young adults (20-35) and people working in the arts and creative fields.
