I am an NMC registered midwife with expertise in grief and loss.
There are many reasons people come to counselling. Life can feel overwhelming and we sometimes feel that we are not coping as well as we might. Do you need a safe, confidential space to be seen and heard? Would you like to explore your feelings and gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your emotions? You may have had counselling or therapy before, or you may be looking at it for the first time. Together, in confidence, we can look at your experiences, your past trauma or adversity and your current challenges.

Maybe the journey isn't about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be all along. Our lives present unique challenges – relationship difficulties, bereavements, life transitions, & chronic symptoms - often creating feelings of frustration, anxiety, & sadness. At such times it is easy to forget that we all need assistance in addressing these challenges, especially as they can often feel overwhelming, or even impossible, to deal with. We all deserve to have support when we are struggling, & often it is specifically this support that allows change to occur.

Distress comes in many forms: Maybe you’re struggling to cope with parts of yourself which feel ‘wrong’ or not good enough. Perhaps you feel scared and alone and wish that you could be seen and valued for just being you, and not what is expected of you. Maybe you’re not sure how you feel, or why you keep reacting to others the way you do; you just know that you don’t want to be stuck in unhelpful patterns or feel overwhelmed or out of control anymore. This list is by no means exhaustive; it is human nature to experience a range of difficulties but you don’t have to struggle alone, without support.

Relationship issues, bereavement, addiction, trauma, health concerns, OCD, depression, and work-related problems can all contribute to these feelings.

Sometimes, it might be difficult to find your way through challenging times alone, or understand how something significant in your life has affected you. Within therapy, we can work together to discover a way through. Sharing thoughts, feelings and memories can be intense and painful, especially if it is your first time opening up to someone else; exploring such things can make you feel worse before you feel better. Therapy helps this process become a movement towards personal growth, understanding, acceptance and change, free of any judgment.

I believe that in this space we work together to create an opportunity to embrace self-development as well as self awareness with an aim to promote self-healing and growth around all issues including bereavement, depression, anxiety addiction as well as many others.
My personal philosophy in life and within my counselling practice is that the human condition is often very difficult to navigate, and we are the expert in our own world. I offer an environment that is conducive to learning about oneself and how we integrate or negotiate who we are in the world. I have an innate belief that given the right environment ( an environment empathy and non-judgmentalism known as unconditional positive regard) Given this environment I believe enables people to develop that innate capacity to heal, grow and develop to a more authentic, self-nurturing sense of self

How long does therapy take for grief?

There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?

Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?

Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?

Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
