About me

Hello, I’m Julia, and I'm a counsellor specialising in grief and loss. Emotions can be scarily intense when you’re grieving. You may never have reached out for help before. But it will be the best decision you ever make.

Regain hope after a bereavement

• You can’t believe this has happened

• It feels as if your world has ended

• Perhaps you’re angry at the person you lost – and that feels so confusing

• You’re exhausted, but you can’t sleep

• You feel guilty or sad at something you did or didn’t say or do

• And just maybe – there’s relief too. Perhaps that they don’t have to suffer any longer – or that they can’t bully you any more

Imagine yourself feeling ready to enjoy life again

• You remember the person you lost but you feel calmer, more accepting. You feel you will get through this

• You’re no longer torturing yourself with ‘what-if’s’

• You plan to go and meet a friend, see a show, or tackle a job you’ve been putting off

What results can you expect from my support?

• Feeling heard and understood, without judgement

• Calm enough to sleep at night without going over and over your tangled thoughts

• Self-compassion. We’re all human, and no-one’s perfect

• To be able to look to the future, one step at a time, at your own pace

Everyone’s grief is unique, and I respect that. I know you need to talk about the person you lost, what they meant to you, how it’s affected you – and how you can move forward when you’re ready. I get that. I’m here to listen, encourage and help.

I am a person-centred counsellor, and have been in private practice for two years. Before that, I worked for both a Cancer Support Service, and a Bereavement Counselling Service, including during the Covid pandemic. I have also worked in carers centres, support work roles and on charity helplines over the last 14 years.

What to expect

Contact me for a free phone chat with no obligation. If you decide to go ahead, we can book an assessment session and talk in more detail about what has brought you to counselling.

I charge £50 for 50-minute assessment and counselling sessions.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
