Bereavement & Loss Psychotherapist

About me

Life can feel overwhelming, whether it’s navigating midlife transitions or coping with bereavement or other significant losses. I provide supportive, client-focused counselling to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and move forward with confidence.

I work in-person in Harrogate & Leeds, as well as online or by telephone, tailoring my approach to meet your needs. My aim is to help you regain balance, clarity, and a sense of agency in your life.

Who I help:

Adults facing midlife transitions: empty nest, career change, relationship challenges, health changes.

Anyone coping with bereavement or non-bereavement loss: retirement, redundancy, children leaving home, relationship changes, loss of confidence or identity.

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

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.
