Bereavement Counselling in Amersham
You might be navigating job loss, separation, illness, family conflict, or other major life events that affect your wellbeing and relationships.
As a person-centred therapist with an attachment focus, I work with you to explore how these experiences affect your emotions, thoughts, and relationships. You can uncover patterns from the past, gain insight into your reactions, and develop practical strategies to manage stress and build emotional resilience.

I have wide experience with a particular interest in anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, grief, and life transitions.
Working integratively, I combine person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT-based approaches with ACT and solution-focused therapy. This allows me to tailor sessions to you, blending depth, curiosity and practical change. As well as my private practice, in the past I have volunteered in a hospice and currently volunteer supporting victims of sexual abuse.

As well as working in my own private practice, I volunteer at my local hospice providing bereavement support and provide counselling to support offenders within the prison service.
I work within a traditional counselling room setting as well as offering walk-and-talk therapy outside. This is a very helpful way of experiencing counselling and walks will suit all abilities including wheelchair users. I work independently as well as co-counselling when working with families. I also work with separated parents, focusing on co-parenting.

I have specialist training and supervision in cancer, caring, grief and bereavement through my work in the NHS, with BCN and in hospice settings.
Sometimes life becomes hard and we can become stuck in some difficult feelings.

My hope is that in offering you my empathy, warmth, and acceptance you will feel that nothing is too small, too big or too awful to talk about.

I have a lot of experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and abuse in particular, as well as bereavement.
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed and just don't know where to turn? Maybe you don't like yourself very much or feel that you don't have anything to offer. Would you like to be able to feel better about your decisions rather than always questioning yourself? Being able to talk to someone about how you're feeling can be a relief and can start to unlock what's going on inside to bring about change.

I work with many bereaved clients who have experienced significant loss or losses.
Life is a journey of highs and lows. Are you going through a particularly difficult time in your life? Do you feel isolated? Not sure where to turn? Perhaps you feel anxious, depressed, or out of control? Or maybe you simply long to be heard, supported, and truly seen. I offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment.
We can work through what is going on for you and find a way to move forward together, exploring strategies and tools along the way that can help you make that shift you are seeking.
I believe in ‘stronger together.’ Together, we can get through many things.

I am particularly interested in how we are impacted by all types of trauma, including grief.
Anxiety, depression, stress, conflict. We all hear these words but when they are your story it's much more than words, it's your life. If you invest in yourself you can learn to stop being controlled, feel you're making your own decisions and improve your relationship, career or state of mind. My clients show courage in reflecting on their lives and I've yet to work with any individual or couple who have regretted taking this step. Now we're in this extreme new way of living we may need to address issues we've previously avoided. This could be that opportunity.

I practise from a psychodynamic perspective which has its roots in psychoanalysis, the founding approach to talking therapy. This means I am interested in helping people to be curious about themselves, to understand why they might think, feel or behave in certain ways which are often unconscious, and to understand where these patterns might come from. This involves you and I building up a trusting relationship that would enable you to bring anything (thoughts feelings, fantasies), however unusual or nonsensical, you want to talk about with me.

I have experience in supporting clients with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, work stress and relationship difficulties.
Many of the people I work with are high‑functioning adults navigating stress, anxiety, trauma or identity pressures. They often feel overwhelmed, pulled between responsibilities and their own needs, or caught in patterns shaped by family, culture or past experiences. They’re thoughtful, resilient and aware that something deeper needs attention. Therapy supports them to feel more grounded, break old cycles, improve relationships and reconnect with a clearer sense of self.

Bereavement Counsellors
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.
