We can all struggle to cope with issues such as anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship or family difficulties, bereavement and loss; or with things in our past which have not been dealt with, that are now interfering with daily life.
I work primarily from a psychodynamic perspective. This means I will work with you on existing difficulties or unresolved past conflicts by exploring not only your conscious thoughts, feelings and experiences, but also those you may not be fully aware of, which might be impacting your life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck? Whether you're navigating anxiety, low mood, identity challenges, or simply longing to feel more at home in yourself, counselling can offer a space for you to pause, explore, and reconnect. I tailor our work to meet you where you are—drawing on talking therapy, somatic awareness (connecting to the body), and creative tools like imagery, metaphor, and art materials (if that suits you). My aim is to create a space where all parts of you are welcomed, including the parts that may feel messy, masked, or misunderstood.

We all face difficult times in life, in fact I think we could just say, life is difficult. In counselling you will be thinking with another person about how you manage life’s struggles, how you relate to friends and family and how your present situation may be related to your past experiences. Talking and thinking with another can bring about a new perspective to old problems or worries and help you find new ways of approaching things. in. In my experience even small changes can have a very positive impact. Speaking to someone might feel a bit daunting to begin with but I find people soon settle in.

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.
