I have completed extra certificates in safeguarding adults and children, child and adult bereavement, grief and loss, pregnancy miscarriage and PND, trauma and PTSD, death and diversity, anger management, islamic psychology and counselling, depression and anxiety, and domestic violence and abuse.
It is rare to find someone who sincerely and genuinely cares, accepts us without judgement, or has true understanding empathy for us. People often tell us how we should feel or how they think we should deal with our situation, not theirs. Sometimes even with conditions, otherwise we face consequences. Thinking of what benefits them, not us. Looking at things from their perspective, not ours. This can lead to pressure to handle things in a way we do not want to and being in a place we do not want to be. Living an unhappy unfilled life where our feelings are ignored and unmet. Resulting in being in a very lonely isolated place.

I support individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or going through a difficult time in their lives. You might be struggling with your thoughts, relationships, or simply trying to make sense of how you’re feeling. What brings people to counselling is often a sense that something isn’t quite right—and a desire for things to feel different. In our work together, I offer a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly, gain clarity, and begin to move forward in a way that feels right for you. If this resonates, you’re welcome to reach out.

If you've ever said to yourself: "I know I keep repeating the same patterns... but I don’t know how to stop." you are not alone. Knowing why we struggle is only half the battle; healing happens when we learn to do things differently. It is exhausting to have full insight yet stay stuck in the same relational loops. As a Relational Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, I offer a steady, safe pair of hands to hold these complex dynamics. We won't just analyze your past—we’ll use our relationship to explore your nervous system, use creative reflection, and gently bridge the gap to true emotional change.

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.
