Foxes’ Retreat

is run by Myszka Fox, helped significantly by Adam Fox*.

Myszka is a Writer, Psychotherapist and Teacher.

In no particular order.

*Foxes’ Retreat offers a unique experience:

We open our home, periodically, to share our space with like-minded writing souls.

Whilst most people would never know, and see us as simply passionate and exuberant, the Foxes are both diagnosed autistic folk, with the addition of ADHD for Myszka.

Since realising this about ourselves, we take special care to measure out how much we commit to, balancing our own needs with those of our clients.

Self-care is paramount to us being able to offer what we do with such energy and delight.

Millie (pictured with Myszka above) is an Assistance Dog, allowing for all sorts of exciting adventures to unfold for Mrs Fox when she steps away from Foxes’ Retreat, as well as supporting us in our work here too.

Cwmafon Shadow, Myszka’s eight year old horse, works similarly, and their relationship has taken them to the British Dressage Associated Championships at Elementary level already, with lots more to come.

Animals are a part of our lives, so please do not ask to stay here for a day or more, if you cannot embrace them as part of the package. They do not go into The Hayloft Retreat area, but will be about the farmyard, kitchen and workshop room.

*For in person therapy sessions, the dogs are more than happy to lounge in the house, well away from client work, but for Day Retreats or Residential Retreats it would be unfair to lock them away from their usual routines - and they love people visiting us!

The Foxes’ vision is to create a bespoke experience for every person we work with, whatever the focus of their time with us:

• Counselling, Integrating the Person-Centred Approach, with ACT and CBT therapies (Myszka is a MBACP)

• Therapeutic Writing

• Coaching for Writing, working 1:1 with writers to develop individual projects

• One Day Writing Retreats

• Bespoke Residential Writing Retreats

• Online Monthly “Get It Written” Group (October to March each year)

• Self-catering/part-catered and fully catered stays in The Hayloft for walkers, writers and other lovely souls! (The Hayloft has three double bedrooms, self-contained with separate entrance)

We work with a beautiful community of people who regularly come together both online and in person.

Myszka’s work has been featured in Stylist magazine, an article on the work that Foxes’ Retreat does in the realm of Writing for Wellbeing .

We always welcome like-minded, creative people to join us, wherever they are on their personal journey of creativity, to share our space with The Foxes and their menagerie.
