I specialise in bereavement, grief, loss and life losses. I can offer you a safe space to talk about your loss and the feelings you are experiencing. Grief can feel like a very lonely place, and it is often difficult to talk to family and friends, but the need to talk over and make sense of your emotions is very important in the grieving process. I can work with you to explain how the process of grief works and how you will be affected. I cannot solve your problems for you as you will understand, but I can offer you the time to talk about how your bereavement is affecting you and we can find some coping strategies to help you.

It can be a difficult thing to reach out to a counsellor. You may have been unhappy for a while - with your job, with your relationship, with the direction your life is taking. You know you want to make changes but it can seem like a huge task, and you have no idea where to start. You know there are things you need to do, parts of your past you need to face, self-esteem to build, destructive patterns that need to be broken. You may have had counselling before, you may have wanted to try it for a while, it may be a last resort. Whatever brings you to counselling, from whatever background, you are welcome to reach out.

I am a qualified therapeutic Integrative Counsellor supporting children, adolescents & adults, either face to face, by telephone, online or home visits. Are you or your child finding it difficult to cope or manage with everyday situations and find life a struggle.

There may be physical health symptoms that are causing you concern. I would like to help and support you through this difficult time.

People usually come to therapy because there is something they want to change. I offer a warm and friendly talking space where we can explore and identify what this is, using cognitive behaviour therapy ultimately to help you feel better. CBT is a talking therapy which helps people to understand more about how the way we think about ourselves, other people and the world, impacts on our feelings and actions. It is very practical and has lots of tools, techniques and ways of thinking about things. This can really help you to feel better, see things differently and make changes.

Often clients contact me when other therapy has not helped them in the way they had hoped. This is often due to the complexity of difficulties being layered perhaps in a history of trauma. Distress in the body and mind can be triggered by what appears to be something superficial. This can open up the past or come at a time when our emotional resilience is low so this event has a greater impact than it may have done. We can find ourselves not being able to function in our normal way. Many clients often identify as 'good copers' and those who 'just get on with it'. Perhaps we can't now - this is frightening and can derail us.

As my client I will work alongside you in a caring and non-judgemental way. I will strive to understand and make you feel less alone in what you facing. To reveal yourself openly and honestly takes the rawest kind of courage and I will respect with confidence what I am told. I have a lot of experience in working with anxiety, depression, trauma (childhood and sexual) and bereavement, both with adults and adolescents. I am also a Clinical Supervisor which means I supervise the work of other counsellors. In addition I am an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) Europe Accredited Practitioner with EMDRIA.
