Are you finding life a struggle? Do you feel stuck, or disconnected from yourself? I invite you to take a breath and listen in. What do you need right now? When was the last time someone really listened to you with calm, warm acceptance, without judgement, and with curiosity and kindness?
I offer a safe, welcoming space where we can explore together the way in which you relate to yourself and others.
As a senior student in Core Process Psychotherapy, I use gentle embodied mindfulness and presence to help you relate to yourself in a new way, to come into relationship with the whole of yourself with kindness and curiosity.

As an experienced psychotherapist, I can help you manage current life challenges like sudden changes or losses; anxiety; relationship issues; bereavement; loneliness; parenthood; depression or past experiences intruding on your present.
As we are all unique, I don't offer 'one size fits all' psychotherapy and counselling. Rather I draw on different therapeutic approaches to best meet your individual needs. Some clients want to explore how their past limits their present, others prefer to focus on the now. Please see my website for more detail on how I work and can help you.

You don’t need to have everything figured out — but if you’re tired of pretending you do, this is the space for you.
There are times when life just piles up, and it can feel exhausting to keep going. You might be feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed or close to burnout. If this sounds familiar, you don’t have to work it out on your own. I offer a space where you can take off the mask, be yourself, and feel genuinely listened to — no pressure, no “right” words, just starting where you are.
I also speak Spanish and can offer sessions in Spanish if that feels more comfortable for you.

We can find ways towards acceptance of the loss or change of a wished-for future or identity, whether through loss of part of the self through illness or disability, or of a loved other (person or pet) - we hold this grief in our bodies, but in recognising the feelings, we can change the stories that we attach to them and take control of our futures.
Our task is to feel safe whilst getting in touch with difficult feelings, to allow you to make the changes you want to happen. Let's work together to figure out how you are now and what these changes could be: Seeking help, as you are doing by searching this site, is a brave and important step in satisfying your own needs. In doing this, you are already creating some relief and a pathway towards yourself as you wish to be. You may feel lost or confused as to what comes next, but you have already shown that you can think outside of your difficulty and adapt in order to change - I can help you gain trust and belief in this process.

I support individuals coping with significant life-changing events such as serious illness, redundancy, divorce or bereavement, and also help those struggling in relationships or with parenting.
I wonder what it feels like to find yourself here, looking for some kind of support? Maybe you are struggling to 'make sense' of what you've been experiencing in your life recently? Many of my clients inhabit a crowded yet empty world, in which they cannot easily 'hear' themselves, or feel that they are not 'understood' by those around them. Perhaps you feel a little like this too? My first hope as a counsellor is that working collaboratively you will feel both heard and understood - maybe for the first time. When this happens, we begin to develop the inner resources needed to discover and engage with who we truly are.

Life is full of challenges, and we can all struggle to cope with the impact of difficult events or circumstances. Therapy can be a useful support in navigating tricky periods and can help people deal with distress in a way that minimises its impact on quality of life. I work with individuals in a collaborative way, using a process of formulation to develop a shared understanding of psychological difficulties. The direction and content of our work will depend on an individual’s personal goals for the future and can range from exploratory work to a more structured approach focusing on the development of self-management skills.

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.
