You may look like you're coping on the outside while feeling very different underneath.

Perhaps someone important has died and you're struggling to make sense of life without them. You may feel exhausted, numb, anxious, angry or guilty while everyone else seems to be moving on. Or perhaps life has changed and you no longer feel like yourself.

“Why am I still struggling when people think I should be coping?”

Grief has no timetable. There is no right way to grieve, and needing support does not mean you are failing.

“Does my loss count if nobody has died?”

Yes. Grief can follow relationship breakdown, family changes, fertility difficulties, health challenges, retirement, redundancy or a loss of identity. Whatever your loss looks like, it matters.

I offer a calm, confidential space where you can talk openly and feel heard, without judgement or pressure. You don't need the right words or everything figured out. We simply begin with where you are.

My approach is warm, compassionate and centred around you. My counselling is guided by what you need, with sessions shaped around you and moving at your pace. Where helpful, we may explore how past experiences affect you now, or use creative approaches when words feel difficult.

Like many people, I have experienced significant losses and understand how deeply grief can affect us. I won't rush you to “move on” or tell you how you should feel. Together, we can make sense of what has happened and find a way forward while respecting what your loss means to you.

I work with adults, young people and children experiencing grief, loss, anxiety, emotional overwhelm and life transitions.

Online sessions: £80 for 50 minutes.

I offer a free 20-minute introductory call through my website. It is a chance to ask questions, share a little about what has been happening and see whether working together feels right. You are warmly invited to get in touch.

You don't have to be in crisis to come to therapy.

You may be grieving someone important, adjusting to a relationship ending or facing a change you never expected. Perhaps you feel exhausted, anxious or disconnected from yourself. You might be keeping everything together for other people while privately wondering how much longer you can carry on like this.

Grief can affect every part of life. It can disturb your sleep, make it difficult to concentrate, change your relationships and leave you questioning who you are now. You may also feel pressure to be “back to normal” when life still feels anything but normal.

Therapy offers somewhere you don't have to pretend you're okay or protect other people from how you really feel. You can talk openly and be genuinely heard, without judgement or pressure. You don't need to know where to begin or arrive with a clear goal. We can work that out together.

Sessions are guided by what you need and move at a pace that feels comfortable. I may ask gentle questions or help you notice patterns in your thoughts, feelings and relationships. If talking feels difficult, we can also use writing, images or other creative approaches to help you express what is happening.

I won't tell you how you should feel or rush you towards “moving on”. My role is to stay alongside you as we make sense of what has changed, explore what you are carrying and help you find a way forward that respects both your loss and the life you still want to live.

I support adults, young people and children with grief, loss, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and periods of change or uncertainty.

Whether your loss is recent or something you have carried for years, you are welcome to bring whatever feels important.

Online sessions are available across the UK. Online counselling for children and young people is available from age 10.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you are unsure what to expect. I aim to make the beginning feel as calm and comfortable as possible.

Before your first counselling session, you can book a free 20-minute introductory call through my website. This is a relaxed conversation where you can ask questions, tell me a little about what has been happening and get a sense of whether I might be the right counsellor for you. There is no obligation to continue afterwards.

If you decide to begin therapy, your first session gives us time to talk more fully about what has brought you to counselling and what you would like support with. You don't need to prepare anything, arrive with clear goals or tell me your whole story at once. We will begin wherever feels most manageable for you.

I may ask some gentle questions to help me understand what life has been like for you and what you hope might feel different. This is not a test, and there are no right or wrong answers. You are always in control of what you choose to share.

I will also explain how we will work together, including confidentiality, boundaries and practical arrangements. You will have plenty of time to ask questions so that you feel informed and comfortable.

The first counselling session lasts 50 minutes and costs £80, which is the same as ongoing sessions. Sessions are held online, allowing you to meet from a private space where you feel at ease.

Towards the end, we can talk about how the session felt and whether you would like to continue. You do not have to make a decision immediately. The most important thing is that you feel heard, respected and comfortable enough to be yourself.

My hope is that you leave your first session feeling supported and a little clearer about what the next step could be.

I currently have availability for new in-person clients in Walthamstow. In-person appointments are available during selected daytime and evening hours, subject to room availability and by prior arrangement.

Sessions take place in a private therapy room on Hoe Street and last 50 minutes. I work with adults, young people and children.

I offer a free 20-minute introductory telephone or online consultation. This gives us an opportunity to talk briefly about what has brought you to counselling, discuss availability and decide whether working together feels right.

Please contact me to ask about current appointment times. Online sessions may also be available if you would prefer greater flexibility.

Life can feel very hard when someone dies or when something important changes. You may feel sad, angry, lost, numb or tired. You may be trying to carry on while life no longer feels the same. You do not have to face this alone.

I often support people who are living with grief, loss or a big change in their life. This may include the end of a relationship, family problems, changes in your health, losing a job, moving home or feeling unsure about who you are. You may be grieving the life you had, or the future you thought you would have.

There is no right or wrong way to feel. I will not tell you to “move on” or expect you to feel better by a certain time.

I offer a warm, calm and caring space where you can be yourself. You do not need to know what to say or where to begin. We can take things one step at a time, at a pace that feels right for you.

I also support people who feel worried, overwhelmed or not good enough. You may be finding relationships difficult or feel that no one truly understands what you are going through.

When I work with children and young people, I make sure sessions suit their age and needs. They can talk, draw, write or use other creative activities to share how they feel.

Our sessions will be led by what matters to you. I will listen, help you make sense of your feelings and support you as you find your own way forward.

You may be used to saying “I’m fine” even when you are not. You may be holding things together at work or for your family while feeling sad, worried, angry or lost inside. Perhaps your mind will not slow down, small things feel too much, or you no longer feel like yourself.

It can be hard to ask for help. You may worry that you will be judged, that your feelings will be too much or that you will not know what to say.

Our sessions are a place where you do not have to hide how you feel or look after anyone else. There is space for the parts of life that feel painful, mixed up or hard to explain.

Some people come to counselling knowing what they want to talk about. Others only know that something does not feel right. Both are welcome. You can start wherever you are.

Meeting in person gives you time away from daily life and a space that is just for you. You will be met with warmth, care and respect. My hope is that you will feel heard, understood and less alone.

If any of this feels like you, you are welcome to contact me. You do not need to be sure that counselling is right for you. We can have a short talk, answer any questions you have and decide together.

Coming to counselling for the first time can bring mixed feelings. You may feel nervous, unsure, hopeful or relieved. However you feel is welcome.

The session will last 50 minutes and will cost the same as any future sessions. Before we meet, I will email you a few short forms to read and complete. These help me understand what support you are looking for and make sure you have the information you need. You are welcome to bring any questions you have about the forms. We can go through them together at the start of the session.

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I may ask some simple questions about what has brought you to counselling and what you hope may change. It is not a test or a formal assessment. You will not be asked to share your whole story at once.

We can also talk about what helps you feel at ease and whether there is anything I can do to make sessions easier for you. You can ask for a pause, take your time or tell me if a question feels too hard to answer.

I will explain how we will work together, what will stay private and the rare times when I may need to share information to help keep someone safe. You can ask me questions at any point.

For a child or young person, I will agree with their parent or carer what may help them feel comfortable. A parent or carer may join us at the start if this would help. We will decide together how best to begin.

At the end, we can talk about how the session felt and whether you would like to continue. If you choose to carry on, we can agree how often we will meet and arrange the next session. There is no pressure to decide before you feel ready.
