We all experience losses in life – not just when someone dies but when we lose anything that is important to us: our relationships, our dreams of having a family, our health, our home, our job, our independence, our pets, and our hopes or expectations. Often, we are able to grieve for those losses and adjust but sometimes we are left feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, angry, guilty, ashamed, withdrawn, or numb for many months or even years later. Adjusting to losses in life is not about ‘getting over’ them but about finding ways to live a life that includes them.
I am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist & Counsellor specialising in loss, grief and trauma. Together we can work to make sense of your loss, to relieve intrusive thoughts and images, and to better manage your thoughts and feelings; helping you to stop feeling stuck, to adjust to events and changes in your life, and to begin to embrace life more fully.
My goal is to help you explore and make sense of what is going on for you, to put it into words, and for us to look for answers and strategies that work for you, so that you no longer feel alone with your loss, grief and trauma.

Many people find that 6 to 12 sessions will make significant changes to their lives. For others, longer term work best fits their needs and goals. I am one of only a handful of therapists in the UK that offer EMDR Intensives - a state of the art way to treat trauma by 'turbo charging' your trauma processing, saving you time and money, so you can move from surviving to truly thriving.
