About me and my therapy practice

I am an accredited counsellor with over 5 years of experience supporting a diverse range of clients of all ages, with issues that include (but not limited to), anxiety, depression, panic disorder, bereavement (including bereavement by suicide), identity issues, low self-esteem, guilt, shame, self-harm, and PTSD / CPTSD. I accompany my clients in their sadness, chaos, depression, and confusion, and I help people to give a voice to their true feelings in a non-judgmental space. Even though I have a lot of experience with many issues over the years, trauma and bereavement have been my particular areas of focus.

Trauma Counselling: My primary research as part of my MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy, investigated how creative interventions aid change when working with childhood trauma. I work in a trauma-informed way which involves helping you to feel safe and resourced while we process what happened to you. I provide a safe and empathic base where you can explore your experiences

Bereavement Counselling: I also have a diploma in Grief and Bereavement, and 2.5 years of experience working as a bereavement practitioner, helping clients explore and process their loss. This can often mean processing other associated losses which reinforce the depth of their grief. I have been able to help my clients adjust to their loss in a way that honours the unique relationship that they have with their loved one.

My primary way of working is person-centred / trauma-informed, though I have a variety of tools from different modalities that I use depending on your needs. I also have a background in visual art, and I may suggest creative ways of expression from time to time if I feel it could be beneficial.
