Life crisis/ loss of meaning.
Having witnessed first-hand how untreated mental health issues can impact entire family systems over multiple generations, I cannot emphasise strongly enough the importance and value of reflecting on the influence of our childhood experiences in shaping who we are as adults; our beliefs about ourselves, others and the world.
Between us we can discover and make sense of which of your current struggles are rooted in the past and how your childhood experiences have impacted your life; not only as habitual actions or reactions to everyday situations and relationships but also on your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

When anxiety feels constant, low mood lingers, OCD takes over, or grief feels overwhelming, it can be hard to see a way through.
Whilst I work in a person-centred way, my approach is integrative. I can use a toolbox of concepts, such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), and ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention). Working together, we can utilise these tools and begin your journey of self-exploration. Helping you to work towards healing and becoming your best self.

Life and relationships can sometimes have us feel like we are being tossed around in a stormy sea. How to cope, wondering who I am or why does this keep happening to me can often be questions we ask ourselves. Sometimes it’s not appropriate or possible to talk with those close to you, and so having someone like a counsellor may be of help at this time. You may not know why you feel this way, and that’s ok too, we can work this out together. My own personal journey, I feel, has provided me the compassion and understanding of what it can be like when faced with times of despair, seemingly impossible situations, and self-doubt.

As parents when our children are struggling we just want to help but often don’t know how. What they are facing can feel overwhelming but there is hope. Counselling provides children and young people with a safe space where they can explore, work things out, heal and move on from difficulties that they experience. Working with someone who is not a family member or friend, but who is supportive, non-judgmental and accepting, who helps us make sense of what we are going through and move forward, can be really beneficial. I aim to help young people accept and value themselves, raise their resilience, gain coping skills and thrive.

Loss and trauma changes us.
Maybe you’ve been feeling hopeless or even guilty since the loss. You find yourself ruminating. You can’t get to sleep easily and wake up feeling exhausted, which causes you to be late for appointments or work. You feel flat, so you withdraw from socializing because you’re worried you'll burst into tears in front of them. You think “why can’t I move on?"

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.
