Finding love, focus, control and happiness inside is what we focus on during our sessions. Using integrative techniques of CBT, complemented with Advanced Hypnosis, Time Line Therapy and NLP, we get to the root cause of the problems and resolve consciously what has been unconsciously affecting them for so long. Sessions are safe and very transformative.

Hi, I'm Andy, and I want to instill hope back in you for your future. Are you stuck going round and round in circles, on the hamster wheel of life, or "making the same mistakes" in relationships, over and over again? I've been there myself. Maybe giving yourself time to pause, reflect, and gaining some new tools for your personal toolbox is all you need to start the journey to wholeness. Let's dive deep into a world of discovery and choices, that our emotions are often signposts to deeper truths, if only we take the time and have the eyes to see. Often the greatest rewards lie at the end of life's hardest roads.

I've spent my counselling career in grief and loss, supporting clients through illness, bereavement, caring, and the various losses that come with major life transitions. I'm not into toxic positivity – sometimes life really is hard – but I can offer a space to laugh and cry and rage and vent, and find ways together to keep moving forward.

Reflect Renew Counselling works with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, and the lasting impact of trauma. I also support carers, helpers, and people who often carry the emotional weight of supporting others while placing their own needs last. Many clients come to counselling feeling constantly on edge, emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and others. Together, we slow things down and gently explore the patterns contributing to these experiences within a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space.

Grief Therapists
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.
