Whether you’re coping with anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, stress, relationship issues, family issues, the end of a relationship, living with chronic pain, low self-confidence, or simply feeling lost and burned out, you don’t have to face it alone.
Central to my work is fostering self-acceptance and self-compassion, which I believe are essential for making lasting, meaningful changes in life. It is a change that comes not from harsh self-judgement, but from understanding patience, and the belief that you are worthy of growth. This shift opens the door to real transformation and inner peace.

My personal experience has been of depression, anxiety, bereavement and relationship issues as well as a variety of other life challenges.
The changing times we are living in seem to offer uncertainty meaning, for many different reasons and in all sorts of ways, we could find ourselves placed under increasing pressure and faced with unreasonable expectations. Life can suddenly be turned upside down by unexpected life altering events which you may not have the energy to deal with, feel less able to cope and may lead to impacting your relationships with family, peers and also work colleagues. Counselling can help when faced with challenges, overwhelmed by feelings of distress, confusion and anxiety about past issues or finding it hard to make decisions in the present.

I have been through such times and it encouraged me to train as a counsellor then a psychotherapist to help clients with general mental health issues and other life difficulties, such as grief and other losses, addiction, sexuality, relationships, domestic abuse and anger issues.
As well as a private practice and voluntary work, I have worked as a Probation Officer for 19 years. These experiences have given me the ability to sit with the uncomfortable, and create a therapeutic relationship which is non-judgemental and warm. The client's needs are at the centre of that working relationship be it short or long term therapy.

My approach to helping my clients with therapy and counselling services, is founded on the principle of Integrative Therapy. This means choosing the practices from different therapeutic modalities best suited to a client’s particular needs and wants. By tailoring the therapy to the individual, I hope to deliver the most meaningful outcomes. Integrative Therapy is not limited to a particular methodology and instead allows me to draw on different techniques as they are required.

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.
