Specialisations
I have a special interest in grief and loss counselling and volunteer as a bereavement counsellor at a Hertfordshire hospice and a helpline advisor for a national bereavement helpline, I support clients to explore the pain of their loss with care, compassion, respect and without judgement. I work alongside clients to support them to help process painful losses in their life, to share and unravel complex and often conflicting feelings together, session by session, to increase understanding of themselves, their life, relationships and the impact of their loss.
I work with a wide range of loss, including: the death of a person or a pet; an anticipatory loss - such as living with someone with a life limiting illness, like dementia; the loss of a life planned, e.g. due to miscarriage; loss of a job, e.g redundancy; loss of mobility, due to ageing or illness; loss of home country; complex grief e.g. when a loss cannot be openly acknowledged or grieved; and all and any other forms of loss. I am also a Foundation for Infant Loss Training accredited practitioner, supporting clients with pregnancy and infant loss and with subsequent pregnancies after loss.
Grieving alone is an intensely painful experience. Often support is provided in the early months after a loss, but with time it can become increasingly difficult for people to show friends and family how deep their grief is, for fear of ‘being a burden’ or ‘upsetting’ family who are also grieving. I support clients so they don’t have to bear their grief alone and provide a space where they feel safe to express all and any feelings associated with their loss without having to consider how they might impact anyone else. I understand that the passing of time can intensify feelings for some, and I work with clients to process losses often decades after the event, supporting them to understand their intense feelings of pain and loss regardless of the years that may have passed.
If you are struggling with feelings associated with grief and loss and feel you would benefit from counselling sessions, please do get in touch.
