How I can help

Specialist support for grief, loss and relationships

Grief & loss

Loss can reshape everything. Whether you are grieving a person, a relationship, or a chapter of life, I offer compassionate, evidence-informed support to help you process what has happened and find a way to live with what remains.

  • Bereavement and life after loss
  • Complicated or unresolved grief
  • Identity and meaning after change

Relationships

Relationships sit at the heart of so much of our pain and our healing. I help you understand patterns, communicate more honestly, and build stronger, more satisfying connections with yourself and others.

  • Interpersonal conflict and disconnection
  • Self-esteem and self-worth in relationships
  • Emotional regulation and trust

Challenges I can support with

I provide therapy and counselling for a wide range of emotional, psychological, and behavioural challenges, including:

  • Anxiety and panic disorders
  • Depression and mood disorders
  • Trauma and post-traumatic stress (PTSD)
  • Addiction and substance-related challenges
  • Difficulties in relationships and interpersonal conflicts
  • Low self-esteem and issues with self-worth
  • Grief, loss and bereavement
  • Challenges with emotional regulation
  • Identity, self-concept and life purpose
  • Unhelpful coping strategies or behaviours
  • Stress management and navigating life transitions

I offer a supportive, collaborative space where therapy is shaped around you.

We move at a pace that feels right, helping you understand both what is happening on the surface and the deeper patterns beneath it.

Together, we connect these insights to the challenges you are facing now. Clients often find this leads to greater self-confidence, a kinder relationship with themselves, and stronger, more satisfying relationships, creating change that feels meaningful and long-lasting.

About me

My passion and belief in therapeutic work

I have devoted over 25 years to working therapeutically with complex and vulnerable adults and children, supporting individuals through a wide spectrum of challenges and life experiences. My career has been guided by a firm belief that every person is entitled to a safe, compassionate, and empowering space in which to explore their thoughts, emotions, and personal growth.

Throughout my professional journey, I have gained extensive experience across diverse settings, including schools, the Criminal Justice System, and community-based therapeutic services. I have supported individuals facing addictions, trauma, mental health challenges, and other complex life experiences, always with a focus on promoting meaningful change, development, and wellbeing. My work is informed by a deep understanding of human resilience, and by a commitment to fostering self-awareness, insight, and personal growth.

I hold an MA in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy & Counselling and an Accreditation in CBT, which underpins my practice and informs my approach to working with clients in a thoughtful, reflective, and relational way. I integrate both psychodynamic and practical therapeutic approaches to tailor support to the unique needs of each individual, helping them navigate challenges and build a sense of emotional balance and clarity.

I have a particular focus on understanding the impact of grief and loss. I am currently undertaking a Professional Doctorate in Psychotherapy, deepening my expertise to bring a nuanced, evidence-informed perspective to my work with clients navigating loss and change.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to their code of ethics. I am fully insured to work with clients in private practice.
