About me and my therapy practice
Are you struggling with grief and sadness, suffering alone following a bereavement or loss? Maybe you have lost a loved one, a much-wanted baby, a close relationship or an important job. Perhaps you are finding it difficult to cope with everyday responsibilities or have problems with sleeping, appetite or engaging with life. Grief is exhausting and you can find yourself feeling overwhelmed, lost and fearful of the future.
It might feel difficult to share some emotions such as guilt, jealousy or relief with friends and family, for fear of judgement.
An unhelpful response or misplaced reassurance, however well intended can make you feel isolated and misunderstood. It does not always help to hear that 'time heals', 'you can try again', ‘you’ll meet someone new’ or 'you’ll soon get another job'.
Practice description
I can offer you space to explore and talk through the wide range of feelings you may be experiencing whilst grieving whatever loss you have suffered.
Grief is unique for everyone and I can stand alongside you whilst you deal with the challenges of moving forward and rebuilding your life after loss in the way that feels right for you.
My first session
We will begin with an introductory telephone call for us to connect; I will share some brief details of what I can offer and you can chat to me about what you would like to focus upon. We will be able to gain a feel for each other and we can agree the practicalities of our sessions such as day and time, if you decide to proceed. There is no charge or obligation to continue.
The first counselling session is a little different to a normal session. I will ask you some background questions to find out a little more of what brings you to counselling and you can ask any further questions you have. It will be an opportunity to ensure that we feel happy to work together as it is really important that you feel comfortable and we are a good fit for each other.
