White Pebble Therapy


SHOREHAM-BY-SEA & HOVE IN-PERSON & ONLINE
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 anxiety, overwhelm or persistent worry as you try to cope with loss and uncertainty?
-
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 stuck?
-
Are you lonely?
Often, many emotions can become tangled together and become confusing 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.
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.

How I can support you
I recognise that every person’s experience is unique, and the areas of support I’ve listed below are not exhaustive. Often, aspects of our lives overlap, and the many layers of our identity and emotions can become interwoven, confusing and complex. The challenges we face are rarely isolated, and the ways in which we experience them are deeply personal.
