Palliative care & bereavement.
I am a counsellor and registered general nurse specialising in occupational health, and my priorities have been about the physical and psychological care of my patients and clients. I use the biopsychosocial model to support clients' biological, psychological and social experiences and issues. I listen to why the client feels they need therapy, and we discuss the most appropriate way forward which may include, for example, CBT or solution-focussed therapy. I am welcoming and trustworthy and my approach to clients is irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, race or religious beliefs.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement, or other struggles, my goal is to create a safe, understanding, and non-judgmental space where you can explore, heal, and grow.
I offer therapy online to clients across the UK. I recognise that therapy can be a significant investment, so I endeavour to provide reduced rates for those on lower incomes to ensure accessibility. With a postgraduate qualification in counselling and psychotherapy, I bring a depth of training, evidence based work, and professional knowledge to my practice.

Anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationships, work goals, issues and ways forward - these are just some of the stressors I have helped clients to tackle.
I am a qualified psychotherapist, life coach, trainer and supervisor, with over 25 years experience in private practice. I work with adults who may be encountering life's stressors to a greater-than-usual degree or may be struggling to find their way forward in a diverse range of circumstances. These may be from personal or professional sources but usually involve our own, perhaps not very helpful, habitual ways of dealing with such difficulties - we all can revert to old habits in times of trouble. I am available to do both short- and long-term work according to need.

I've been actively practicing as a Therapist for the last 7 years and have always worked with a variety of people from all ages and backgrounds. The youngest being 8 years and the oldest being 84. Many of these clients have lived in different places all over the country. This experience has meant that I have needed to become a different type of Therapist for each client that I work with to ensure that I am able to best support them. This has also meant that I have worked with people for many different reasons and has given me skills to comfortably meet people where they are and work towards their goals in Therapy.

Wanting to live a happy, purposeful and fulfilled life shouldn't feel like an impossible goal. You have a right to all these things. Even getting this far might have been difficult, but you've taken the first step to trying to make changes, feel better or have a better understanding of the world around you. Working together with you, I can help with all of these things. Everyday life can heap pressures on people and we can find ourselves anxious, worried, depressed or maybe just a niggling feeling that something isn't right. You might feel like this, and that there isn't a way forward, but there is.

Hello! My name is Liv and I'm a friendly and compassionate integrated counsellor. I have extensive experience working with both adults and young people. Life can be full of ups and downs sometimes; if you are feeling low or overwhelmed by life, then reaching out for support may feel daunting.

I believe that a trusting relationship with an empathic, non-judgemental counsellor can be the building blocks leading to a happier and healthier life, and I would like to provide that relationship for you.

Many men come to me feeling anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected, unsure how to find calm or clarity in their daily lives. You may be struggling with confidence, stress, relationship patterns or carrying tension from past experiences that still affect you. You might feel stuck in emotional cycles that drain your energy or limit your potential, yet still sense a quieter, stronger part of you waiting to be heard. I offer a gentle, grounded environment where you can slow down, understand what your nervous system is holding, reconnect with your natural resilience and begin feeling more stable and supported within yourself.

I know what it’s like to feel unseen, misunderstood, or like you don’t quite fit into the boxes society expects of you. Maybe you’re struggling with anxiety that feels like it’s always buzzing in the background, or depression that makes even the simplest tasks feel impossible. Perhaps you’re navigating the challenges of being neurodivergent in a world that isn’t always accommodating, or exploring your identity in a way that feels both liberating and daunting. Whatever brings you here, I want you to know this: you don’t have to face it alone.

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.
