ABOUT WANDERING WILLOW PSYCHOTHERAPY
Trauma Informed Therapy
That tight chest, tense shoulders, or sudden overwhelm? Often, it's not just anxiety or burnout—it’s your nervous system responding to unresolved trauma or years spent in survival mode.
At Wandering Willow, I offer trauma-informed therapy that looks beneath the symptoms to understand what happened, not just what's wrong.
Every part of you is welcome here—especially the ones that feel tired, stuck, or unsure how to move forward.
Using somatic and attachment-based therapy, I help you regulate, reconnect, and heal from the inside out.
Therapy That Meets You Where You Are—Literally and Emotionally
Healing isn’t linear—and it’s definitely not always neat. It can look like tears one day and deep breaths the next.
Our sessions are collaborative and grounded in science, empathy, and real human connection. I draw from EMDR, IFS, somatic therapy, and EFT—but above all, I lead with compassion. No rushing. No judgment. Just space for you to be fully seen, supported, and yourself.
“When we deny the story, it defines us. When we own the story, we can write a brave new ending.”
— Brené Brown
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy approach designed to help people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. It works by using guided eye movements (or other forms of bilateral stimulation) while recalling difficult memories, helping the brain process and reframe them in a healthier way.
It’s commonly used for treating PTSD, anxiety, and other trauma-related symptoms—and often works faster than traditional talk therapy.
-
IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a therapy approach that helps you explore the different parts of yourself—like the inner critic or people-pleaser—with curiosity and compassion. Instead of pushing these parts away, IFS helps you understand and heal them, so you can feel more balanced, grounded, and connected to your true Self.
-
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to healing that focuses on how stress, trauma, and emotions are stored in the body—not just the mind. It helps you reconnect with physical sensations, release tension, and regulate your nervous system, so you can feel more grounded, present, and emotionally balanced.
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps individuals, couples, or families strengthen emotional bonds and improve communication. It focuses on identifying patterns in relationships, exploring core emotions, and creating safe, secure connections. At its heart, EFT is about helping people feel seen, heard, and emotionally supported.
WHAT MAKES THIS SPACE DIFFERENT?
This isn’t a sterile office. This isn’t a clinical checklist. This is human-to-human work.
At Wandering Willow, therapy can happen virtually—or outdoors, surrounded by nature and animals who offer quiet, nonjudgmental support. Whether we’re walking the farm or sitting in stillness, the goal is the same: to help you feel safe, seen, and supported.
With trauma-informed care, we honour your pace, stay curious, and work gently with your nervous system to rebuild trust—starting from within.
ARE WE A GOOD FIT?
This Type Of Therapy Is For You If…
Hi, I’m Cait
Therapist. Nurse. Human being.
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), a Registered Practical Nurse, and someone who believes therapy should feel more like a conversation than a clinical checklist.
I started Wandering Willow because I was craving a space where healing didn’t feel like another task on your to-do list. A space that felt grounded, real, and deeply compassionate.
I combine body-based and evidence-informed practices to help clients heal at the root—whether that’s untangling trauma, reconnecting with themselves, or simply learning how to rest.
Also: I believe swearing in therapy is totally allowed, and that laughter can be as healing as tears.
Who I Work With
Adults who are tired of pretending everything’s fine.
Those who feel like they’re holding it together with bubble gum & sheer willpower.
People who’ve done the “talk about your week” kind of therapy and are ready to go deeper.
People stuck in patterns that don’t make sense.
The anxious, the overwhelmed, the burnt-out.
Logically, you *get* it. Emotionally? It still hits hard. That’s where we go next.
What Happens in Your First Session
Starting therapy can feel nerve-wracking, and that’s completely okay. In our first 50-minute session, we’ll just spend time getting to know each other. You can join from wherever feels most comfortable – online, or outdoors here on the farm, surrounded by nature and animals who offer quiet, nonjudgmental support. There’s no rush to share everything right away; you can talk about whatever feels right in the moment.
Whether we’re walking together, sitting in stillness, or meeting virtually, I’ll be there to listen with care, answer your questions, and help you feel at ease moving forward.
Each session will be shaped around what you need that day, using mindfulness and practical tools to help you feel steadier, more connected, and in control of your well-being.
Meet Willow
The Heart Behind The Practice
Willow isn’t just a goat – she’s the inspiration behind this practice. Born with a defective ear and rejected by her mother, she had a rough start, but with care and connection, she’s thrived. Her story is a reminder that even when life begins with rejection or challenge, healing and growth are possible.
At Wandering Willow, she represents resilience: that our struggles don’t define us, and with the right support, we can create a life that feels grounded and whole. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or weighed down by past wounds, know you’re not alone. Together, we’ll find ways to help you feel calmer, stronger, and more connected
