About me
I am an experienced Senior Accredited therapist who has worked extensively with bereavement, loss and ending issues, both as a volunteer with a bereavement charity and in my own private practice. . I am also a qualified EMDR Therapist, and so work with trauma-related issues too.
Often, people feel that they are getting grief 'wrong' or feel concerned about being overwhelmed by grief. I work with my clients on helping them to work out their own individual way of grieving and also support them in making their grief feeling more manageable.
As a person-centred counsellor, my core belief is that having a confidential space to talk, in which you feel that you are being genuinely listened to and can say what you honestly think without being judged, can really help you work through the issues that you are facing. It doesn’t sound very scientific or ground-breaking I know, but I know from experience that it works.
I work from a room in central Oxford, conveniently located near the train station with car parking nearby. I also work online.
If you are unsure about counselling, I am currently offering non-obligatory introductory sessions at a discounted rate of £20.00.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Senior Accredited Therapist with over 15 years of experience working with bereaved clients. I am also EMDR trained.
I continue to volunteer for a specialist grief charity, alongside my own private work.
I have a Diploma and a Higher National Diploma in Counselling Skills and in addition to my work for a bereavement charity, I have also worked as a Young People’s Counsellor at Teens and Toddlers plus I volunteered for the Samaritans for 3 years.
I am committed to regular training and professional development through attending courses, webinars and by reading extensively on relevant topics.
