I offer in person, Zoom and telephone sessions at various times during the week. Please do contact me to ask about other availability as this can change.  

I currently have availability and welcome you to contact me. 

I am a qualified counsellor based in Ruislip, North West London. I support people aged 18+ as they try to come to terms with a loss they are facing. I also work with those living with, and managing, chronic illness, with a particular interest in hidden disabilities.  

Loss

Being able to identify and name life experiences as losses worthy of grief can be an important part of healing. Yet often, we tend to identify death as being the only life event worthy of grief. In today's fast-paced world, our experiences of loss are quickly pushed aside as we are forced to 'get on with it' or 'get over it'. 

For some, the source of their grief may be clear, for example, the end of a relationship or the loss of good health. For others, when faced with certain challenges, intense emotions may be felt but it may be less clear that these feelings actually stem from grief. 

Talking about how you are feeling can help you to gain clarity and understanding, increase self-awareness and, although talking doesn't fix or solve the problems, it can make it easier to face them.

Bereavement

To lose a loved one is probably one of the hardest things we will experience in our lives. There is no 'normal' way to respond to grief and no timescale, despite what society may want. 

​Grieving is natural and normal and although painful, distressing and can make us feel unwell, it is not an illness. It cannot be fixed and we cannot make it go away. Over time, the pain usually feels less intense and many adapt to a life without the person who has died.

Whatever you are feeling at this time, know that when it comes to grief, there is no right or wrong. Your grief is as unique as the relationship you had. 

Bereavement counselling gives you the time to talk about the person who has died and how their death is affecting you. It allows you to look at ways of coping and to talk about your feelings.

If you think you may benefit from counselling, I would be very happy to arrange a call and answer any questions you my have. 

Sessions last for 50 minutes and are based in a welcoming and calming therapy room in Ruislip, HA4.  I also offer sessions via Zoom or telephone, Monday to Thursday. 

I offer weekly sessions and usually, this will be on the same day, at the same time. I offer short-term and longer term support and usually discuss what you would like this to be during our first session. 

For in-person sessions, the closest train station is West Ruislip Rail Station. There are also various bus routes and street parking is available. 

WC available, no waiting room so I respectfully ask that you arrive at the agreed time of our session. There are steps up into the entrance. 

Each session costs £65. 

Before booking our first session, I suggest that we have a short discovery call to talk about what you hope to gain from having counselling and to ensure that I am the right practitioner for you.

The therapeutic relationship is fundamentally important to the counselling process and is the most important factor which influences how effective therapy is. This first step will help you to find a counsellor with whom you feel safe and comfortable. 

If you decide you would like to begin therapy with me, we can find a day and time that is convenient. I will email you a copy of my contract, confidentiality agreement and client information details form.

If you would like to find out more, please contact me and we can arrange to have our first call.
