I specialise in bereavement and loss (including pregnancy loss, stillbirth, neonatal or infant death), parenthood and family dynamics, uprooting and relocation, and life transitions.
While I believe we each hold an inner wisdom that guides our lives, many may lose touch with it after spending so long trying to fit into others’ expectations. Here, we create space to set those expectations aside - a space just for you, so you can begin to untangle, unmask, and gently reconnect with the parts of you that long to live in their true colours.

You might be holding it together all day - getting things done, showing up for others, and then falling apart when you finally stop. Your body stays tense, your mind won’t switch off, and sleep doesn’t bring the rest you need. You may feel jumpy, on edge, or disconnected from yourself and the people around you, without always knowing why. I offer trauma-informed counselling and EMDR in Sheffield for adults experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, and the lasting impact of difficult or overwhelming experiences.

People seek therapy for different reasons. You may be feeling low, depressed, anxious or stressed; or perhaps you just have the feeling that things are not quite right. It might be that the distress is such that you cannot function at all. These could be recent feelings or you may have been experiencing them for years. In any case, counselling or psychotherapy can help you make sense of things, explore different options or make changes. Some of these issues can be sorted after a few sessions; in other instances, a more long-term approach will be needed.

Choosing me as your counsellor. If you’re looking for a counsellor, you need to find someone who is going to be a good “fit” for you. I believe that the most important part of any counselling is having a good relationship with the therapist. You need to be able to trust me and feel comfortable talking to me about yourself. Otherwise you cannot get the best out of the experience. Contacting a counsellor for the first time can be daunting. You might be nervous or struggling to put things into words. It is okay if you are not quite sure what you want from this, I will do everything I can to put you at your ease.

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.
