Bernadette Shaw

Life can get overwhelming, and you might find yourself at a crossroads, feeling stuck or seeking clarity amid chaos. Remember, it's okay to feel lost, anxious, or weighed down by your emotions; these are natural responses to life's ups and downs.

I offer a compassionate space where your feelings and experiences are heard and valued and where I can join you on your path to self-discovery and healing.

You might be navigating various emotional landscapes, such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, life transitions, or addiction. I've dedicated 18 years to the addiction field and become a psychotherapist in this time, working with individuals facing varied challenges.

I have witnessed the transformative power of counselling in their lives. My commitment is rooted in empathy, respect, and unwavering belief in your capacity to heal and grow.

As a dedicated and compassionate counsellor, I also specialize in providing support to families who have experienced the profound and devastating loss of a baby through stillbirth or neonatal death. My mission is to create a safe and empathetic space where individuals can navigate the complex emotions associated with this unique form of grief.

I offer counselling tailored specifically to address the challenges and emotional impact of baby loss. My approach is rooted in understanding the diverse experiences of grief and providing personalized support to meet the unique needs of each client.

I have undergone specialized training in baby loss counselling. My commitment to ongoing professional development ensures that I stay informed about the latest research and best practices in the field.

You will find that I am:

Non-Judgmental: Here, you're free to express yourself without fear of judgment. It's a secure and confidential space to be your true self.

Empathetic: I approach counselling with a deep understanding of your unique story, struggles, and strengths. I listen without bias and offer steadfast support.

Collaborative: Our journey is a partnership. I'll guide you, but the direction is yours to determine. We'll set achievable goals and work at your pace.

Believe in a holistic approach, recognizing that emotional well-being is intertwined with various aspects of your life.

You don't have to face your challenges alone. Whether you seek clarity, healing, or personal growth, I support you. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and transformation together.

Contact Information: For a free initial consultation, reach out during the week so we can set up a consultation. I offer face-to-face, online, phone, and walk-and-talk sessions. Your healing journey begins with the first step—by reaching out.

I look forward to connecting with you.
