“What is the bravest thing you’ve ever said?” Asked the boy.“Help,” said the horse.
“Asking for help isn’t giving up,” said horse.
“It’s refusing to give up.”

About Therapy
Anxiety, depression, low mood, not caring about yourself , substance misuse, self-harming can be effects from past experiences of Loss or grief which have been left unprocessed.
Grief or loss can be incredibly lonely, confusing, it can be difficult to talk about how you feel to the people around you.
You may feel stuck, unable to find a way to begin to build a different life without your loved one. Grief can have a ripple effect on your emotions, relationships and the wider environment around you.
Counselling can help you to unscramble some of those emotions and thoughts, allowing you the space to process what has happened. To express painful emotions which can be impacting on your health.
As a counsellor I will help you to make sense of these feelings, to listen, to understand what this is like in your world. I will provide you with tools that will help you gain some control, grounding techniques to help stabilise, and be more present instead of feeling overwhelmed with emotions from your past.
Loss isn’t just about the death of a loved one, it can be from a relationship separation, divorce, children leaving home for university. You or someone close has been diagnosed with an illness and you're trying to come to terms with this. You may have experienced a miscarriage or fertility issues, and need a space where you can process what this means to you.
I work from home where I aim to provide you with a relaxing atmosphere, or if you prefer, to be outdoors in the natural countryside.

About Me
I qualified as an integrative Psychotherapist in 2008. I worked in a Children's Hospice for a period of 18 years, being a part of this environment I could see the impact of bereavement and loss and the sheer devastation the families were going through.
I'm also specialised in baby loss counselling, and work for a baby loss charity providing the much needed support when a couple have gone through the Trauma of a pregnancy loss, still birth or neonatal death, or the emotional impact that fertility can have for couples that are trying to start a family.
