About
Welcome to my page, I am an integrative therapist with over 20 years of experience of helping individuals deal with life events and cope with complex mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, toxic relationship issues, low self-esteem, abortions, miscarriage, menopause, bereavement, social anxiety.

I also work with NHS staff, taking a solution focused approach to their mental health and wellbeing and helping to shift their mindset. Reframing unhelpful thoughts, It is easy to develop negative patterns and unhelpful thoughts which lead to unhelpful feelings and behaviours. This can be very repetitive and can be a be a vicious cycle. You can influence this process and improve your mental health. The best way to deal with this is to recognise them thoughts, challenge them feelings and replace it with a new process. This technique is called
CATCH IT, CHECK IT, CHANGE IT.

Having lost both my parents before the age of 16 also, losing my partner 20 years ago helped me understand the grieving process.
Bereavement counselling offers a compassionate and professional approach to help individuals cope with the complex emotions that accompany the grieving process. counselling therapy is equipped with deep empathy and understanding, providing a safe space for mourners to share their feelings, fears, and memories without judgment.
The benefits of bereavement counselling are manifold. Firstly, it allows grievers to express emotions that they might feel uncomfortable sharing with friends or family, thus preventing the bottling up of emotions, which could lead to additional stress and anxiety. Secondly, counselling provides a neutral perspective, enabling individuals to gain insight into their feelings and find ways to manage their grief constructively.
Grief affects people in diverse ways, and there is no right or wrong way to mourn. Some may experience intense sadness, anger, guilt, or even a sense of relief, depending on the circumstances surrounding the loss. Bereavement counsellors are adept at recognising these variations and tailoring their approach to meet each individual's unique needs.
In addition to addressing emotional struggles, bereavement counselling equips individuals with coping mechanisms to navigate their daily lives while grieving. It empowers them to honour their loved one's memory while also finding a path to re-engage with life and eventually discover hope and happiness again.
When considering bereavement counselling, it's essential to remember that seeking help is not a sign of weakness but rather a courageous step towards healing and growth. Grief can be isolating, but through counselling, we open ourselves up to the healing power of connection and understanding.
