Grief, although normal, can manifest in a huge range of unexpected ways. Some people get angry, some people withdraw further into themselves and some people become completely numb. Sometimes, grief can turn into something more serious - like depression.

I am committed to providing counselling and therapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. I offer a place where you can explore what is really troubling you at your own pace. Sometimes you may feel unable to cope, overwhelmed, very low or that your problems are just not important.

As a qualified therapist I can offer 1:1 or group work with both individuals and couples on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully. I have specialist training in bereavement, depression, anxiety and eating disorders and regularly work with teenagers and adolescents. I also offer group therapy where this may be helpful.
