Bereavement counselling is about allowing yourself to process what you are going through. We don’t try to fix or alter but rather give space to what the grief is bringing up for you. Without censorship. Without comparison. Without judgements.

The worst loss is your loss. Because it is affecting you, because it matters to you. And if it matters to you – it matters.

When you lose someone, it can affect your daily life, sense of self and your view of the future. It might come up straight after the bereavement or emerge years down the line.

Grief work allows us to find meaning in our life again. It is not about forgetting but rather remembering with more love and less pain.

If you are dealing with a loss, current or from the past, and would like to have a safe space to process it, I would be pleased to hear from you.

It can take us by surprise!

We have our hopes and dreams about how we would like our future family to look like, and yet life does not always follow…

Not being able to conceive can be an isolating place, bringing up emotions of anxiety, frustration, envy, anger, depression and grief. You can feel powerless and inadequate. You might find yourself disconnecting from friends and family. You can even feel like you are disconnecting from your partner as fertility issues can often put emotional strains on a couple’s relationship also.

I am a BICA (British Infertility Counselling Association) registered counsellor with a specialization in bereavement/ traumatic bereavement and loss and with a dedicated interest in issues connected with a fertility journey. These can include miscarriage/s, infertility, secondary infertility, baby loss, baby loss in twin/multiple pregnancies, birth trauma, postnatal anxiety/depression, IVF treatments, involuntary childlessness and relationship difficulties.

If you are facing any of these issues and would like a safe and confidential space to offload without a fear of burdening or upsetting anybody, I will be pleased to hear from you.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling  and happier life.

 People come to me for various reasons. Apart from bereavement and infertility issues, they might have experienced abuse (as children or later in life), they might feel that anxiety is preventing them from being able to live their life fully, they might feel depressed, having relationship issues, they might feel stressed, they might be going through life or work changes.

There is not a more or less appropriate reason to seek therapy. If you are struggling and your usual self-help tools do not work, therapy can be a very effective way to come to a deeper understanding of your situation and it can help you to tap into your own hidden resources to bring about a positive change.  

If you are ready to take the first step, I will be pleased to hear from you.
