I support people who are facing losing someone they love or are looking for the space to process their loss. This could be a bereavement, a break-up or estrangement. It could be recent or a more historical loss that is still impacting on the present.

 

• Are you experiencing a sense of denial and struggling to accept the reality of your situation?

• Do you feel angry and a sense of injustice, frustration or resentment?

• Do you find yourself ruminating on alternative realities and thinking ‘if only…’ ?

• Have you sunk into deep sadness and depression?

• Do you feel empty and paralysed?

• Are you lonely?

​

Often, many emotions can become tangled together and become confused and overwhelming.

 

Sometimes it can be hard to find the right person to speak to. You may feel you have exhausted the limits of your family and friends. Perhaps they are grieving too and you don’t want to burden them. It may be that your can’t be fully honest when talking about your loss because of differing perceptions of your loved one.

 

I help those people who want to push through, to unravel and reflect on all that they are feeling. I am here to listen to you and walk with you through your grief. In this way, you can hopefully find a way to navigate a path forward to a place of acceptance and begin to adapt to your new reality.

Working with me

 

Whilst you find yourself in the depths of a loss, I can be a steady and calming presence to confide in. I am warm, down-to-earth, genuine and welcoming. It matters to me that you feel quickly at ease with me and comfortable to share your thoughts. You lead our conversations, have agency over where we go in a session, and I will welcome all of it. You can feel safe to explore, reminisce, vent, cry, laugh, or perhaps even just sit in a comfortable, reflective silence with me.

 

I know how exhausting it can be to put up a front of holding everything together on the outside when you are crumbling within. Loss can be all-consuming and its ache can make you feel very small, heavy, dark and hidden; therapy can give you a wider perspective and restore colour to your world. I recognise the courage it takes to engage with therapy and how hard it can be to reach for help from someone you don’t yet know.

 

I love doing this work and see it as a real privilege to accompany clients through dark moments and witness the transformations they initiate in their lives. I hope that by hearing you, seeing you, exploring with you, that you will find yourself on a better path.

​My approach​​

​

In my work, I draw mainly on person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. This means that as well offering a safe and supportive space to work through current difficulties, at times we may explore how earlier experiences and your unconscious patterns of behaviour are influencing the present. As these links become clearer, there is often greater freedom to make different choices as you grow.
