I am an integrative relational therapist, providing counselling and psychotherapy online for individuals who are experiencing grief and loss. I offer support, safety, reassurance and understanding to help clients work through their difficulties. To meet the needs of my clients I combine different aspects of therapy into my work, blending theoretical frameworks and their methods. This includes transactional analysis, relational psychoanalytical and attachment theory, and the concerns of existentialism.

As a bereavement specialist I am committed to travelling with people on their individual journey with loss, I believe that the therapeutic support of another can facilitate greater understanding, healing, and acceptance. I work collaboratively with clients and accompany them through the unpredictable ever changing landscape of loss and bereavement. I work independently and am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online (ACTO) working within their ethical framework. I receive regular clinical supervision.

I am a qualified counsellor with over 20 years experience. I am a qualified counselling supervisor and trainer in suicide prevention. I have worked in colleges of education, within the NHS and hospitals, GP practices and primary care mental health teams. My experience includes working with the following issues: complex bereavement, trauma and PTSD, abuse (physical, sexual, emotional and neglect), relationship issues including family, work, stress, anxiety, depression, bullying, self-harm, eating behaviours, OCD, sexuality and gender issues and borderline personality traits. 

My work approach is to offer respect and dignity to my clients. I provide a non-judgemental listening environment, this counselling process may then assist clients to work through or manage their personal issues and difficulties.

Bereavement affects us all and can leave us feeling overwhelmed, lonely and isolated. Grief is a painful emotion we often have little idea how to cope with, and we may  try to avoid it or push it away. Sometimes the death of a loved one can remind us of all the other losses we have suffered, such as the loss of a partner, a job opportunity, a homeland or the loss of our world as we know it. But without attending to our grief we may become numb not just to our pain but to other more joyful and exuberant emotions, depriving ourselves of the richness of life and cutting us off from our true nature. 

With more than seven years experience supporting people with loss I have knowledge of the different ways it can affect us and work with sensitivity and respect. Our time together will offer you a space to talk and find your own understanding.
