Retreats


We run regular residential Burnout retreats based at Ashwood Lodge in the beautiful Teesdale village of Romaldkirk. Over 5 days you will benefit from 1:1 Clinical Psychology, group Psychology work, and guided exercises such as meditation and breathwork. You will learn, build insight and develop new skills to create lasting change.

1:1 Psychology


Dr. Carey Viala is an experienced Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of expertise in adult mental health. With a focus on areas such as depression, anxiety, adjustment to injury and illness, eating disorders, trauma, burnout and imposter syndrome, Dr. Viala has made a significant impact in helping individuals navigate their psychological challenges. She offers face-to-face and remote consultations.

Wild Wellness


Teesdale and the surrounding Dales are beautiful places to visit and as part of our services we offer healing and restorative activities nestled in the heart of our countryside. Alongside guided walks to some of the most beautiful parts of our country we offer wilderness meditation, wild swimming and forest bathing.

Why Choose Northward Psychology & Wellness?

We set up Northward because we saw a need to integrate evidence-based clinically psychological interventions with nature-based experiential practices; creating space to support nervous system regulation, insight development, and sustainable behaviour change for our clients.
