Are you struggling with bereavement, anxiety or depression? Maybe you’re experiencing relationship issues or feeling trapped in a cycle of negative thought patterns and unhealthy ways of coping. Maybe your way of coping has now become the problem; i.e. addiction. If you are longing for change and need a safe accepting space to identify what that is and work towards it; I can provide this. Together, we can work to set goals, make changes, identify and break behavioural patterns, validate your feelings, process past trauma and reframe thoughts. Hopefully resulting in an improvement in your wellbeing, mental health and life overall.
I choose to work using an integrative approach, as I believe this gives me the freedom to tailor therapy to your needs. We will explore your past to see how that’s impacting your present situation. Consider all aspects of your life and if you are living a life that is true to your values. And evaluate the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing.
I retrained as a therapist after being a counselling client changed my life. This insight helps me to empathise with how difficult it can feel to seek support and share vulnerabilities. I aim to communicate warmth and acceptance to my clients, with the hope that you will feel comfortable to work together. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Free Bereavement Support Group
Bereavement is something experienced by all humans. Our experience of it is shaped by the relationship we have with our lost loved one and our life experience. It is individual to us. However, coming together with other people who are going through their own bereavements, can be a great support. Not everybody who goes through bereavement will want/need or be able to access therapy, but most people will benefit from sharing and holding space with others going through their own bereavement. My bereavement support group is held on the second Tuesday of every month 10.30-11.30. It is drop in and free.
