Hi there and welcome to my profile, I know how difficult the process of finding a right therapist can be, I'll keep things brief. Do you find yourself constantly masking and adapting to others or putting their needs ahead of your own to feel accepted? Do you find it difficult to speak up about what you may want from or how to feel confident in relationships? Do you may feel stuck between wanting connection and fearing rejection? If so, you are not alone, I find that when people may report feeling unseen, misunderstood, there may be feelings of awkwardness and disconnection with others and you may struggle to ask for what you want.

I work with a compassion-focused therapy (CFT) approach which helps promote mental and emotional healing through encouraging those who have suffered loss to develop empathy and compassion towards oneself.
Embrace new beliefs. Most fearing, angering and blaming comes from old beliefs, expectations and stereotypes.These are programs installed from society, your up bringing and your peer groups. Loving yourself deeply and exquisitely means you explore these very important processes and let go of the expectations and stereotypes that don't support you; that were dragging you down. Let's explore this in more detail now.

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.

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.
