Therapy begins with understanding what you need, what feels difficult, and whether the work feels like the right fit. These pages outline the main areas I can support with and what to expect from each.
Grief counselling
Grief can affect far more than the moments when you are actively thinking about a loss. It can change your energy, sleep, relationships, concentration, sense of identity and the way ordinary days feel. Counselling offers a steady space to speak about what has happened without needing to tidy it up, justify it, or move through it at anyone else’s pace.
The work may include making sense of bereavement, anticipatory grief, complicated family feelings, loss after separation or estrangement, or the quieter grief that can come with illness, change and life transitions.
- Sessions move at a pace that respects what you are carrying.
- You do not need to know exactly what to say before beginning.
- The aim is not to forget or “get over it”, but to find a way to live with what has changed.
Couples therapy
Couples therapy provides a structured space to slow down the patterns that can take over between partners. These may include repeated arguments, distance, resentment, loss of trust, difficulty communicating, changes in intimacy, or feeling as though the same conversation keeps happening without anything shifting.
The sessions are not about deciding who is right. They are about understanding what happens between you, how each person experiences it, and what might need to change for the relationship to feel more honest, secure and workable.
- Both partners are given space to speak and be heard.
- We look at patterns rather than treating one person as the problem.
- The work can support repair, clearer communication, or thoughtful decisions about the future.
Individual therapy
Individual therapy offers a private space to explore what is happening in your life and relationships, especially when things feel confusing, stuck or hard to carry alone. You might come because of stress, anxiety, low mood, transitions, family pressures, relationship patterns, identity questions, or a general sense that something needs attention.
The work is collaborative and reflective. Rather than giving quick advice, therapy helps you understand how experiences have shaped you, what keeps certain patterns going, and what choices may become possible when there is more room to think and feel clearly.
- Sessions can focus on current difficulties, past experiences, or both.
- You can bring uncertainty; you do not need a finished explanation.
- The aim is to build insight, steadiness and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
