HELLO &
WELCOME
Jess Burchill
The Wilder Therapist
Does life feel completely overwhelming right now?
Are you tired, weary, lost or burnt out?
​
Maybe you've lost hope and can't find a way forward because you've hit Burnout or you're struggling with CFS/ME and the path feels relentless and so difficult at times?
​
Or maybe you feel so alone as a carer and you feel like no one understands and isolation has been creeping in.
​
Life can feel exhausting sometimes, especially when living with a chronic illness like ME/CFS, or when you are completely burnt out and can't see a way forward.
​
It takes courage to seek help, to find someone who will really listen and understand.
​
I can help you, I have journeyed this path and I understand how hard it can be. I know that there is hope and you can find a way forward to live a better life.

WILDER
Untamed, wild, or free – these natural states are often lost in our busy lives. We've strayed from our innate instincts, forgetting the beauty of simply being.
Now is the time to tune in and rediscover your true self.

WHAT IS
COUNSELLING?
A counsellor provides a safe, supportive, and confidential space where you can bring anything that’s troubling you and be truly heard.
At Wilder Rest Therapy, I work with you to explore the challenges you’re facing, uncover what you want to change in your life, and support you in taking gentle, meaningful steps forward — all within a calm, understanding, and nurturing environment.
​
I specialise in supporting people living with chronic illness like CFS/ME or Long Covid, as well as carers carrying heavy responsibilities. I know how isolating it can feel, and how difficult it is to hold onto hope when life feels overwhelming.
Sessions can take place online or outdoors in wild spaces, giving you room to reconnect with yourself and the natural rhythms around you. Through this approach, therapy becomes more than talking — it’s about finding calm, clarity, and practical ways to care for yourself, even in small steps.
