I’m a professionally qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and registered member of the BACP, specialising in grief, bereavement and loss.

My interest in this work grew from experiencing how isolating grief can become once the immediate support around a bereavement begins to fade.

Experience Around Grief and Loss

I was trained by and have volunteered with Marie Curie on their Bereavement Support Line for the past six years, supporting people through many different experiences of grief and loss.

I am also trained as an End of Life Doula with Living Well Dying Well and have spent many years working around death, dying and bereavement.

That experience has taught me that grief rarely follows a neat pattern. It can affect the way we think, sleep, work, relate to other people and understand ourselves.

Sometimes counselling may simply mean having somewhere to talk and be heard.

At other times, you may want more information or guidance. If it feels useful, I can also share some of what we know about the psychology and biology of grief, different ways people have understood loss, or ideas that may help you make sense of what you are experiencing.

The important thing is that we work in a way that feels useful to you.
