About me
The emotions of Grief and loss are a natural response to someone or something that you have or had an attachment with, but at times these emotions can feel overwhelming and can impact on your normal functioning and on your health.
As your counsellor I will help you to make sense of these feelings, to listen, to understand what this is like in your world. Grief and loss can have a ripple effect on yourself, relationships and the wider environment around you.
You may feel guiltily for wanting to do the things you use to enjoy doing, it may feel hard to move forward in the fear of leaving your loved one behind, or an old life behind.
As a integrative psychotherapist I offer you a non Judgemental, compassionate space where you can begin to unravel some of the chaos in your mind and empower you to take control of your life and feelings, especially when things have been out of your control. I will provide you with tools to use grounding techniques to help stabilisation, and be more present in the moment. understanding how your mind works will equip you with knowledge and feeling more at ease with yourself.
I work from home where I hope this offers you a relaxing place.
I also offer walking counselling, if you prefer to be out doors and enjoy the natural beauty of the countryside.
Training, qualifications & experience
I worked in a children’s hospice for 18 years, firstly as a health care practitioner then as a counsellor. During this time I was able to establish a counselling service to support families who's child is going through the journey of hospice care or end of life care. Counselling can help families to feel empowered to make memories, managing difficult conversations to other family members. Being there so they can talk through their fears so they don’t have to carry these alone. It also enables some parents to begin to manage difficult and complex emotions when their baby or child has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, condition or additional needs.
I have provided training sessions for the wider care team who work at the Hospice on ‘ Managing difficult conversations’ empowering the care team to feel confident to communicate with families on end of life care for their child.
As part of my role I also organised the annual memory day for the families to attend to celebrate their child’s life alongside other families.
Since 2019 I have worked with Petals charity as a senior counsellor providing counselling for couples and women who have experienced pregnancy loss, still birth, fertility issues and birth trauma. At times it can feel like their is no hope, like your being left behind whilst friends are having their first babies or more. You may feel like your body is letting you down and no one around you understands this ‘ it will happen’ ‘your young you have time’ ‘it wasn’t meant to be’.
Alongside this I have my own private practice where I work from home in stanstead Abbotts

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
Counselling can be daunting, especially when you don’t know the person your going to be working with.
I offer an initial phone call to see if you want to work with me, or you can have the first 15 minutes free of your first counselling session to see if I’m the right counsellor for you. Counselling is about building a rapport with each other so that you feel able to share your thoughts and emotions.
I have been Covid vaccinated and test twice weekly using the Covid self test Rapid Antigen
