Hello, are you looking for a welcoming, supportive space to feel heard, understood and valued? Together we will explore what brought to counselling or psychotherapy.

We will use a range of therapeutic approaches to help you to achieve your goals, in a way which feels tailored just for you. My warm, friendly, and competent style will help you to feel at ease, informed, and empowered: helping you to get the most from our time together.

I support clients with a wide range of issues and goals. 

I specialise in grief associated with the death of a baby, child, or adult child (of any age or gestation). I write support resources and training, on these unique types of bereavement, for national organisations, individuals, and teams. 

I offer online video, and phone counselling throughout the UK. I also offer face to face appointments to clients in the Northwest of England and North Wales.

As an integrative psychotherapist I focus on your unique experiences and how they affect your wellbeing. We are all a wonderful mix of past, present, and future hopes and fears. We are shaped by the world around us, and the people with whom we live. As your therapist, I will be fully accepting of you within the full context of your life. I will weave together concepts and practical strategies to help your current need.

If self-exploration and self-understanding is your goal, then you have also come to the right place. As meaning making beings we are inclined to search for connections and make sense of our lives. We often carry outdated ideas, thoughts, reactions, and behaviours that no longer serve us. Together we will explore and deconstruct outdated ways of being, allowing a truer and more fulfilled you to flourish.

If you are coming to me as a bereaved parent, I am so sorry for all that you are going through. As a bereaved parent myself, I understand. There are no right or wrong ways to grieve. As such, it can feel like such a lonely time, even if you are surrounded by people who care. Again, I will make no assumptions about your loss and ‘how you must be feeling.’ Your grief is as unique as the precious child you are remembering, and it will be as treasured as such.

I have had the deep honour of working with hundreds of bereaved parents, grandparents, and other relations, privately and on behalf of local and national charities. I will support you with a breadth of knowledge, understanding, and experience. I have a good record of helping bereaved parents, who are sceptical of bereavement therapy, but who see it as a last resort.

For all clients, I can offer short and long-term therapy, including single sessions. I offer couples therapy as well as therapy for individuals. 

It can feel daunting to reach out for support. So, it is helpful to know what to expect:

When you make a first enquiry, it is helpful to tell me your name, contact details, and a very brief description of what has motivated you to seek therapy. Please rest assured that you do not need to go into detail here. The aim is to help me tailor support to your needs from the off.

Then, I will contact you within 48 working hours. I will offer you a free introductory phone call which will take between 20-30 minutes in length. The wiggle room is to allow you ample time to ask any questions you might have.

This call will give us a feel for working together. It is important that you feel comfortable with your choice of therapist. There is no obligation to continue.

The call will also be a chance for me to get an outline of your support needs and preferences. I work with neurodiversity. I am committed to inclusivity and equality.

If we decide to work together, we will agree on a day and time to pencil in our sessions. This will usually be at the same day, and time, each week allowing you the freedom to plan your dairy as you wish.
