About me
I am a Psychosynthesis Counsellor and Psychotherapist with extensive experience in palliative care, loss, and bereavement.
I offer you a welcoming, supportive, and confidential space to explore your particular difficulties and struggles. I will help you gain new perspectives on yourself and your current situation.
While we each have particular hopes and expectations, there are periods when life can feel empty and meaningless. This can occur at specific life stages, such as menopause or around retirement, or after a bereavement or life-threatening illness. However, these feelings of loss can also occur unexpectedly at any time.
I am passionate about the value of listening to and responding to individual stories. From personal experience, I understand the importance of being heard by someone independent in a safe, contained, and confidential space.
I offer single short-term or long-term therapy specialising in support for:
- bereavement, loss, and grief
- the psychological and emotional impact of life-changing or terminal illnesses such as cancer
- living with chronic illness
- life crises and life transitions such as retirement, career change, and difficulties in mid-life and older age
- loss of identity
- periods of feeling stuck in your life
- loss of meaning and purpose
- personal development
I can help you:
- to look back and review your life and regrets with new perspectives
- by providing a container for you to express complex emotions such as anger, frustration, grief, sadness, shame and guilt
- to find a renewed sense of self
- to establish improved relationships
You can email me via this website or call me on 07776 250996. If I can't pick up, please leave a message, and I will get back to you ASAP.
