Hello

​My journey to becoming a counsellor wasn't shaped by one single moment, but by a series of losses.

​

Some were bereavements. Others were quieter losses: the endings, disappointments and changes that life asks us to carry, often without acknowledgement. Like many people, I spent years trying to make sense of experiences that had changed me, and it was through that process that I found counselling.

​

Alongside my work as a nurse in the NHS, I began to understand that so much of our suffering comes not only from what has happened to us, but from believing we should somehow be untouched by it. We live in a world that encourages us to move on, stay busy and cope, yet so many of us are quietly carrying grief in its many forms.

​

Over the years, my way of working has evolved. As my relationship with nature has deepened, so too has my understanding of grief, healing and what it means to be human. I've come to believe that grief is not something to fix or overcome. When we make space for it, it can soften us, reconnect us with ourselves, and open us to living more fully.

This understanding sits at the heart of my work. I believe healing begins when we can meet ourselves with curiosity rather than criticism, and with compassion rather than judgement.

​

As a relational therapist, I see the relationship we build together as the foundation of our work. My hope is to offer a space where you feel able to bring all of yourself—your fears, your losses, your hopes and the parts of yourself that may have been hidden away. Together, we can begin to understand your story, honour what has shaped you, and discover new ways of relating to yourself and to the world around you.
