About me

I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist specialising in bereavement and loss.
Loss can take many forms: the death of a loved one, changes in health, the end of a relationship, a loss of purpose or direction, shifts in identity or routine, or challenges with self-esteem and confidence.
You may be feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to cope with what life is bringing up for you. Perhaps you're going through a period of change and finding it difficult to know how to move forward. You might be struggling to make sense of your emotions or to adjust to life's challenges on your own. Often, our thoughts and feelings are rooted in some form of loss or transition.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. Together, we can work through what you're facing, helping you make sense of your emotions, build resilience, and start moving forward.
How I work
I work collaboratively, tailoring therapy to your individual needs. My approach is compassionate, client-led, and centred on creating an environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported.
