How Can I Help

Gentle Support Through Bereavement, Diagnosis & the Ache of What Used to Be

Grief isn’t just about death. It can follow a diagnosis, a breakup, or the quiet ache of children leaving home. You might be mourning someone you love, the life you once knew, or a version of yourself that feels out of reach. Whether your loss is recent or long-held, you deserve a space where your pain is honoured, not rushed.

I offer private grief counselling for adults navigating bereavement, relationship breakdowns, serious illness, and the emotional toll of change. My trauma-informed approach helps you:

• Make sense of complex emotions, sadness, numbness, guilt, rage, or relief

• Explore the impact of grief on your identity, relationships, and nervous system

• Find language for your experience, even when words feel impossible

• Build emotional safety and self-compassion as you move through mourning

Whether you're grieving a loved one, adjusting to a difficult diagnosis, or feeling lost after children have left home, therapy can help you feel less alone. If you're looking for a therapist who meets loss with warmth, honesty, and emotional safety, I’d be honoured to support you.

Anxiety can feel like racing thoughts, tightness in your chest, or a constant sense of dread. It might show up as panic attacks, health anxiety, or a fear of losing control. If you’re exhausted from trying to manage it alone, therapy can offer a safe, steady space to breathe again.

I offer anxiety counselling for adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck in fight-or-flight, or unsure how to soothe their nervous system. My trauma-informed approach helps you:

• Understand what’s driving your anxiety—emotionally, physically, and relationally

• Feel safer in your body and more in control of your responses

• Learn gentle, practical tools to manage panic and reduce overwhelm

• Explore past experiences without judgment, at your own pace

You don’t need to have the right words. You don’t need to be “bad enough.” You just need a space where your nervous system can soften and your story can be heard. 

Trauma isn’t always loud. It can live in the body as tension, shutdown, or a sense of being “too much.” You might feel stuck in fight-or-flight, avoidant in relationships, or overwhelmed by memories you can’t quite name. Whether your trauma is recent, historic, or quietly woven into daily life, therapy can offer a space to begin again, gently, safely, and at your pace.

I offer trauma therapy for adults navigating emotional overwhelm, relational wounds, and the lingering impact of difficult experiences. My psychodynamic, trauma-informed approach blends stabilisation work with reflective exploration. Together, we might:

• Build emotional safety and nervous system regulation before revisiting the past

• Explore how early experiences shape current patterns, relationships, and self-belief

• Make sense of trauma’s impact on your body, boundaries, and emotional responses

• Develop gentle coping strategies and self-trust that support long-term healing

You don’t need a diagnosis. You don’t need to relive everything. You just need a space where your story is met with care, not judgement.
