It is my aim to give complete regard to my client's needs for in-depth interventions rather than fixed session numbers. Some issues resolve quickly . However mental issues and the suffering they cause are often multi-layered and you may have been living with their effects for several years. We can lose sight of our own abilities and strengths; our ability to deal with life's challenges and our ability to respond too to its gifts. You may feel unable to feel.

When life gets difficult, the most courageous thing we can do for ourselves, is to reach out for help. Counselling is for anybody making their journey through the challenges of life. You might feel overwhelmed or just a little bit ‘stuck.’ Day-to-day tasks might be a struggle. You might have lost someone – recently or in the past. There might be changes in your life or difficult decisions to be made. Perhaps a past event keeps popping up, influencing the present more than you would like? Counselling can help.

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?"

You may be experiencing anxiety, stress, bereavement, relationship problems, depression, addiction, low self-esteem or something you can’t quite grasp but that is troubling you.
Counselling Works Because… Counselling works in part simply because the act of talking with someone who is not a family member or in your immediate circle, can be very helpful in gaining a new perspective about what is going on for you. The benefit of a neutral confidential space is something I regularly hear from clients I work with. In addition my approach is to ask questions and ‘thought experiments’ that can assist you in finding your own creative solutions to whatever is troubling you.

I have years of experience and training in areas of relationships, depression, anxiety, bereavement and loss to name a few.
Sometimes we simply get stuck or lost and don't know which way to turn. This is true in all areas of life and not one of us is exempt. The feelings can result in anxiety, depression, stress which can impact relationships and work. Sometimes we have no idea whats going on and the simpliest of things can feel overwhelming. When offered a safe space to be really heard and understood, these feelings can begin to feel much smaller and no longer feel insurmountable

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.
