You may be considering counselling because you are experiencing anxiety or overwhelming emotions, stress & life changes, low self-esteem, loss of confidence, depression, feeling stuck, relationship difficulties.
Using an attachment-informed integrative counselling approach, I support clients in exploring patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating that may no longer serve them. Therapy can become a space for curiosity, reflection, and healing – helping you understand yourself more deeply and develop new ways of relating to others and the world around you.

Maybe you're struggling after a trauma or bereavement, separation, or with ill-health?
My counselling approach is “integrative”; this means that I have trained in the two main theoretical approaches (humanistic/person-centred and psychodynamic); and draw flexibly on a range of techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual client. I have completed additional training to work with children and young people.

Individual therapy offers a place of honesty for the battles in our heads, from medical diagnoses (or not) and past trauma it may include, questions of sexuality, gender expression, and everyday negative thinking. As life changes, so can how we feel about ourselves, others, and what we want. At times we may feel alone, whatever our relationship status. Ruptures can affect trust, communication, emotional safety and leave us hurt &/or uncertain. Therapy provides space to reflect, reconnect, and find meaning in uncertainty. It can reduce anxiety, deepen our understanding, and support harmony between inner needs and the demands upon us.

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.
