About me

I specialise in supporting children, teenagers, adults and families experiencing bereavement, grief, loss and anticipated loss. Grief can touch every part of our lives, often bringing feelings that are difficult to understand, express or carry alone. Whether you are facing the death of a loved one, living with the knowledge of an anticipated loss, or trying to make sense of a significant life-changing experience, I offer a safe and compassionate space where you can feel heard, supported and understood.

At the heart of my work is the belief that there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Every person's experience of loss is unique, and I take the time to get to know you, your story and what matters most to you. Working at your pace, I provide a calm, nurturing environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgement.

I offer counselling both online and in person, giving you the flexibility to choose the approach that feels most comfortable and accessible for you. Online sessions provide a convenient and familiar space, allowing you to access support from wherever you are and fit counselling around the demands of everyday life. For those who prefer face-to-face counselling, meeting in person can offer the experience of sharing a physical space, which some people find helps them feel more grounded, connected and able to reflect more deeply.

Together, we can create space for reflection, healing and understanding, helping you navigate the challenges of loss while remaining connected to your own strengths and resilience. My approach is warm, creative and deeply relational, with therapy tailored to your individual needs and experiences. My hope is that you feel supported not only in your grief, but also in finding a way forward that feels meaningful and right for you.

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.
