I use a collaborative approach with all clients during their assessment, evaluation and choice of theraputic treatment. There is no one therapy for everyone and it sometimes can take time to find an effective approach. I have expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Counselling, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy to name a few. Taking an integrative approach allows me to utilize all my knowledge and training for whatever issues present and adapt therapy to the individual client's needs. Book a free 15 minute consultation and we can talk more about how we can work together to improve your wellbeing and quality of life.

My specialisms include relationship work, anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement and loss and inner child work.
All people are unique and so is the experience of counselling unique to each client. I am an integrative counsellor and have a range of approaches. Consequently I can offer clients a "toolbox" from which they can choose how to work. Some clients only want to work with their present difficulties, others wish to explore the impact of their past on the present.

I have worked with clients experiencing a range of challenges, including bereavement, bullying, loneliness, trauma, suicidality, homophobia, loss, anxiety and depression.
If you are looking for a safe, non-judgemental, welcoming space to explore what life has thrown at you then you have come to the right place. We all need time and a listening ear to help us deal with 'life' at some point. If you want to discover your true self then you have come to the right place. I came to private practice after many years working in post-16 education. In both careers I am privileged to help and be alongside people who are negotiating their next steps.

When overwhelmed by life’s difficulties, struggling with loss or suffering from anxiety, stress, and depression, people often have no one to turn to.
Grieving can be a very lonely experience and so I join my clients on their journey, listening with empathy, allowing them to be ‘heard’ as they work through their pain, and enabling them to find hope, purpose and happiness in life again. My support also covers loss associated with miscarriages, pets, relationships, jobs or roles and changes in later life.

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.
