About me
When life feels overwhelming or a significant loss changes your world completely, finding the right space to talk can support you with these feelings.
Grief and life changes, such as the menopause cause deep sadness and triggers profound anxiety. I offer a safe space to breathe ,process and explore your individual feelings and emotions, where you will be heard.
I am a fully qualified registered counsellor specialising in bereavement ,life transitions, and anxiety.
Alongside my private practice, I work within a specialist hospice support team, giving me deep experience in holding safe spaces for grief and sudden life changes.
My approach is warm, genuine and entirely tailored to you. Whether you need to safely process a painful loss or find ways to manage daily anxiety, or emotional changes in the menopause, we will work at a pace that feels secure for you.
It is a brave step to make that first contact with a therapist. I fully understand this, having reached out myself when I lost my sister to cancer at a young age. I experienced kindness, warmth, and empathy from a counsellor, which supported me so well in exploring my difficult feelings and emotions.
This inspired me to pursue a career in counselling, following a 30-year teaching career.
This continues to be my passion in counselling, whilst I also offer support for feelings related to anxiety, stress, depression and low confidence. I work predominantly in a person -centred way, led by you, where you want to begin.
I am flexible in my counselling approach, and trained to incorporate different therapeutic approaches, including being an experienced hypnotherapist.
I have a private therapy room overlooking fields and woodland, where you will feel at ease.
If I seem to be a good fit for you at this moment in your life, please do get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Professional Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Studies.
I also hold a Professional Diploma in Hypnotherapy.
I currently work in a hospice as a bereavement counsellor and as a counsellor for carers/palliative care.
I also have a private practice in my home, where I work with clients experiencing anxiety and/or stressful feelings related to present and past life events. Also, clients who experience sleep issues, which can be related to these overwhelming feelings and emotions.
As a Hypnotherapist, I have a particular strength on working with anxiety led feelings and sleep issues. I have run several successful group Hypnotherapy sessions over the last year, focussing on our feelings through the changing seasons.
