I am Neurodiverse myself & work with many ND clients also with chronic pain, bereavement, depression, anxiety, self harm, low self-esteem, childless not by choice, menopause and many other presenting issues.
It's not always easy to reach out and ask for support. We often feel that we can manage on our own or don't want to bother anyone with our thoughts and feelings. It can be hard to find a balance between work, relationships, family & other commitments to prioritise yourself. No matter what brings you to therapy the most important part is the relationship we will share. I aim to ensure you feel heard & give you a space to work through anything you want to bring to help you have a greater insight & self-awareness and I will walk alongside you on this journey. Counselling isn't a one size fits all package it's as individual as you are.

I recently worked with a national bereavement charity, and have extensive training and experience working with loss and grief.
It's Time For You! Are you always there for everyone else, and now need someone to be there for you? Then you have come to the right place! We all need help sometimes, and taking the first step of asking for help is often the hardest. I know, because I’ve been there too. You need time for yourself. How can you be there for others if you are feeling burnt-out? Have you suffered a loss or bereavement? Are you feeling low and anxious? Whatever difficulties you are facing, my job is not to diagnose you, give you advice, or tell you how to fix things. My job is to be by your side as we explore ways to help you find your own answers.

I have experience of working with a broad variety of issues and have specialist loss and bereavement training.
Hello, are you feeling low? experiencing anxiety? dealing with a loss or bereavement? Maybe you are struggling with emotional issues from the past that are intruding in your current life? At times we can find life difficult and struggle to make sense of it. Overcoming our problems on our own or talking with people we are closest to can be hard so speaking confidentially to a counsellor may be what you are looking for. Talking helps you to explore your thoughts and feelings so you can get a clearer view of your life. I will listen without judgement to how it feels to be you so you can discover what really matters to you.

I specialise in helping people in pressurised jobs such as recruitment, sales and project management, and who are trying to advance their careers while also working through stresses at home - relationships, family issues, bereavement, money worries and health concerns.
Do you have constant pressures at work? High targets? Unrealistic deadlines? Having to collaborate with difficult people? Unreasonable demands from senior leadership? Maybe there is a particular individual at work who you are really struggling with - you dread going into meetings with them and you feel anxious about going to work? Perhaps you don’t feel valued? And crucially, do you find it hard to switch off when you get home? It can be so difficult to keep bouncing back, both at work and at home, when you are feeling so stressed, and maybe approaching burnout.

I appreciate how difficult it can be to start counselling. What can prompt an enquiry can differ from one person to another. For some there may be a long standing desire to talk to a counsellor, and maybe now just feels right. For others there maybe something that has happened in their life such as a breakdown in a relationship or a loss in their life that prompts a contact to be made. Alternatively, they may be consumed by feelings such as depression, anxiety, fear, anger or resentment. At times like these counselling can be helpful and offer much needed support.

I work primarily with children aged from 5 years onwards and support children through therapy by helping them learn to identify emotions, process the past, and develop effective ways to manage and express themselves. I predominantly work from a space in the Chichester area, but I am also happy to see children at their school if this feels more comfortable for them. I feel very passionately about children having their voices heard and having access to support so they can then develop the right tools to express themselves and build resilience to go forward.

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.
