Individual Therapy and Specialist Support

I work with individuals and couples who want to improve their wellbeing and build deeper, more fulfilling relationships.

In individual therapy, you might be looking for support to understand yourself more clearly and find a way forward. This could involve exploring different ways of coping, thinking about personal goals, or making changes that feel helpful and right for you.

Many people look for support during big life changes, like getting into a long-term relationship, having a baby, or becoming a parent. These times can bring clear losses, such as the death of someone close or the end of an important part of life. They can also bring quieter changes, like feeling different inside or adjusting to a new sense of who you are.

If you’re finding these changes hard, or if something from your past still feels like it’s affecting you now, therapy can give you a safe and supportive space to talk things through. It can help you understand what you’re feeling and, when you’re ready, move forward in a way that feels right for you.

In our first session, we’ll talk about what’s brought you to counselling and whether it feels like it could be helpful for you. We’ll also think together about whether we’d be a good fit to work together.

It can be useful to take some time afterwards to reflect on how the conversation felt, and whether this feels like the right next step for you.

 This is an area of work that is very close to my heart, and I deeply understand how painful this experience can be. I believe that having personal awareness of miscarriage and baby loss can make a real difference in offering care that is both sensitive and respectful, and that truly honours what people need during such a difficult time.

The Foundation for Infant Loss provides specialist training for professionals who support individuals and couples through this experience. Baby loss is a unique and deeply personal form of grief, and everyone’s journey through it is different. It’s important that this kind of grief is met with care, understanding, and patience, allowing each person the time and space they need as they adjust to a reality they did not expect.

 I’ve had the privilege of working with young people of all ages in different settings, and I understand how challenging it can feel to make sense of who you are as you grow up. Having space to explore this with someone outside of home or school can be really helpful for young people.

Therapy with children and young people can look different from therapy with adults. Many young people prefer more creative ways of working, and some find it easier to talk while doing an activity, like playing a game, using toys, or drawing. This can help them express themselves in a way that feels more natural and less pressured.

Often, parents and carers reach out when they notice their child is struggling. It can also be helpful for parents to think about how they are experiencing their child’s difficulties. Sometimes, getting support for themselves first can help them feel more grounded and better able to support their child, bringing more understanding and stability to the whole family.
