Whether they are experiencing anxiety, low mood, bereavement, friendship difficulties or changes at home, my approach is patient, warm, supportive and tailored to each child’s individual needs.

Experiencing the loss of a parent in childhood shaped my path into counselling.
Many of the people I work with feel weighed down by constant worry, low mood, or the sense that they’re just not being heard or understood. You might notice your thoughts and emotions are affecting your work, relationships, and ability to cope day-to-day. I’m here to offer a calm, welcoming space where you can feel safe to share what’s on your mind – without judgment or pressure. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on for you, and I’ll walk alongside you as you begin to find ways forward that feel authentic and manageable for you.

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or disconnected from yourself, even if things appear fine on the outside. I work with people who are experiencing stress, emotional tension, or a sense of being stuck, and are looking for a deeper, more embodied way of understanding themselves. Somatic psychotherapy supports you to slow down, reconnect with your body and begin to gently shift patterns that no longer serve you.

Mental health (anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, phobias), facing loss, & bereavement (illness, sudden death, suicide) can impact lives significantly; taking the first step to seek support may feel overwhelming.
CBT (ages 8+) can promote positive change for phobias, separation anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, trauma/PTSD, panic, generalised anxiety, and depression. CBT is about teamwork; we will work together to understand difficulties and develop strategies for coping after therapy. Additionally, I can support parents in understanding symptoms and challenges.

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.
