About me and my therapy practice

Are you looking for support through your grief? Do you need to talk through big, complicated and painful feelings? Maybe you just need somewhere to be real, to let everything out – a break from trying to be OK.

I provide compassionate and professional bereavement counselling in Brighton and Hove, as well as online. I’m fully qualified, with a Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling and with specialist training and experience in working with grief.

I’m a Humanistic counsellor, and at the base of my work is the person-centred approach. This means I will follow your lead, trusting that you know what’s most important and where the pain lies. But this non-directive approach doesn’t mean I’m a passive participant. I’ll give you my full attention, noticing and reflecting, and holding your feelings gently as together we explore your experience of loss. 

Practice description

At its simplest, bereavement counselling is a much-needed opportunity to talk about the person – or people – you have lost, and for your grief to be witnessed.

Perhaps you need to talk about the rollercoaster of feelings, worries, physical symptoms and behavioural changes that a bereavement can bring.

Sometimes assumptions about what is ‘normal’ can make it hard to trust the natural grieving process. So, if it feels relevant, I can share information and ideas that may help you find new ways to understand your grief.

Whatever the circumstances of your loss, our sessions are where you might begin to make sense of it, to identify your needs, to make connections with other parts of your life and to consider what healing might look like. 

My first session

I understand how important it is for you to find the right counsellor so I offer a free initial session, which can be face-to-face or online.

This is a chance for us both to get a sense of whether we'd be a good fit and to check that I can meet your needs.

We can talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you hope to gain from it and how I might be able to help, and you can ask any questions you may have.

Even if you're not sure how you feel about having counselling, I’d love to hear from you.
