Hi. Whether you have had previous experience of counselling or are thinking about it for the first time, I know that taking that first step can be a daunting experience. The relationship between you and your counsellor is paramount, so it’s vital that you choose one with whom you feel comfortable. I am passionate about supporting my clients, both in their present circumstances and, where possible, in seeking to achieve the best possible outcomes for their futures, by offering a safe, supportive, non-judgemental and empathic counselling service.I am able to offer short-term, focussed sessions as well as longer term counselling.

In
bereavement
work, my approach is more person-centered .
I work in my small, discrete private practice in Bromley. I am experienced in working with clients who have difficulty managing anxiety and depression; from all walks of life, genders and spiritual beliefs. I have a special interest in
bereavement
work. My approach is integrative, I believe that one approach does not 'always fit all', adapting my therapy for each individual need. My work can combine some of the main therapeutic approaches; Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). I offer a warm, safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings offering brief (short term) or long term therapy.

I offer knowledge and experience in areas of
bereavement
, depression,
loss
and anxiety, which are on going and highly common today.
Having a confidential, listening and non- judgement ear is perfect in times of challenge. This can be hard to find amongst family and friends, due to the occupied lifes we lead. Thankfully there is a space here for you to talk, if you want it. As you share the detail of your concerns, together we will journey the highs and lows towards your desired outcomes. I will give value and acknowledgment, as well as show compassion. Our formed relationship will then bring forth insights that give you understanding, motivate change, allow you to experience acceptance and strengthen your mind. This experience is empowering and self satisfying.

I have worked within fostering and adoption, Couple and family Counselling,
Bereavement
and Youth Counselling. My experience comes from having worked within a variety of family and child settings, a counselling service for young people, a hospice as a
bereavement
counsellor, and supporting couples in their relationships. I work with families who foster and the secondary trauma that they can also experience. Although I have been trained in the psychodynamic approach, I work using other models to best suit and help individuals explore and become aware of blocks in their lives, working towards making changes.

I also provide counselling at a

support service and have undertaken specialist training in relation to this.
I provide a safe, confidential and empathic space to explore what is going on for you, and help you cope in the here and now. I work in a way that promotes a balanced and neutral environment helping you to shut out the noise of the everyday world. Therapy can provide the opportunity to explore your decision making, your patterns of behaviour, how you relate to the world and help you to identify your own needs. I will support you through this journey. Together we will explore your thought process and how you got there, providing you with greater self awareness and meaning

Psychodynamic Psychotherapist supporting adults and young people with
bereavement
, PTSD, complex trauma & dissociation.
Registered therapist comfortable with difficult life stories and complex family dynamics. Therapy with me is a space where you can bring uncomfortable, distressing or confusing issues. Maybe you hide parts of you from others for fear you will be misunderstood. All parts of you are welcome to therapy. I work well with people who feel stuck or have a hard time identifying how they are feeling. Perhaps you have been told you are 'too much' or 'too sensitive' or find yourself ending up in relationships that become stale or even abusive. Together we will consider what is important to you and thoughtfully explore the story of your life.

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.
