Are you struggling with emotional difficulties and unsure where they're coming from or how to move forward? Perhaps you find yourself caught in patterns you don't fully understand—reacting more intensely than you'd like, withdrawing, or feeling disconnected from yourself or those around you. You don't have to face this on your own.

Janice Teh
Psychotherapist, UKCP Trainee
I have lived experience of bereavement, chronic illness and caring for terminally ill people.
I offer therapy to individuals aged 18+ in the Dunstable and Milton Keynes areas. I can help you explore any emotional difficulties you may have. Sometimes we don't know why we keep reacting to others the way we do. We just know we don't want to feel the way we feel anymore. Perhaps you seem to have everything together on the surface but underneath you feel overwhelmed, and you worry about what others might think of you if they knew the truth. You may have been trying to figure this out on your own but get frustrated because nothing seems to work. Maybe you feel that your issue is too insignificant and others have bigger problems.

Sam Card Counselling
Counsellor, MBACP
I am a qualified therapist dedicated to supporting individuals with long-term health conditions through integrative counselling. My approach emphasizes empathy, understanding, and non-judgement, especially when supporting those dealing with dementia and other complex health issues. I also provide counselling support for carers and loved ones of individuals living with long-term health conditions. The stress experienced by carers is often underestimated, which can lead to burnout and adverse health effects.

I typically work with anxiety, bereavement, complex grief, depression, narcissistic abuse, relationship challenges, identity challenges and emerging neurodivergent challenges.
Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, misunderstood by others, or exhausted from constantly holding things together internally. You may struggle with anxiety, relationship difficulties, rejection sensitivity, masking, burnout, or a sense that you don’t fully belong. Perhaps words feel difficult sometimes, or you find yourself deeply feeling things that others seem able to brush aside. Therapy offers a space where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply, feel genuinely seen, and gently unfurl into greater self-acceptance and freedom.

Therapy is time set aside by you and the therapist to look at what has brought you to therapy. This might include talking about life events (past and present), feelings, emotions, relationships, ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour. Resilience isn’t about never falling over. It’s about knowing what do to when we do fall over and how we get back up again. I won’t judge you or criticise you.  I work with the uniqueness of each individual client and endeavour to offer a relationship in which you feel heard, accepted, safe and valued.  And collaboratively we will work to make positive changes in 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.
