I work with a range of issues and I also have specialist expertise in bereavement

I am trained and experienced in grief and bereavement counselling with 15 years specialist experience of providing one-to-one support for people experiencing difficult grief.

If you are struggling to come to terms with the death of someone, then I can offer counselling to help you explore the worst parts of your grief. I can help with:

• Death of life partner, parent or child
  
• Sudden/unexpected death
• Times when more than one person has died
  
• When you have experienced a series of bereavements over a period of time
  
• If the death happened a long time ago
  
• Death of someone following prolonged illness
  
• Death of someone you were caring for
  
• Pregnancy loss/miscarriage
  
• Recent deaths
  
• Coping with the death of someone who is terminally ill
  
• Coping with anniversaries and birthdays

I am a Bupa recognised therapist. A Bupa health insurance policy usually covers the cost of 10-20 one-to-one counselling appointments with me. For more information, call Bupa to find out your entitlement and then get in touch to arrange your first appointment. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am an Affiliate Counsellor at AXA Health via their Employee Assistance Programme. You might be entitled to free counselling appointments via your employer if they have an arrangement with AXA.

I also work with Aviva. If you're entitled to counselling through your Aviva health insurance, please contact me so that we can talk through next steps.

​I work with the Miscarriage Association to support people coping with the loss of their pregnancy.
