Counseling for Grief and Loss
Few things impact our life more deeply than the experience of loss. In my practice I have worked with individuals and couples whose lives have faced loss in a wide range of such experiences as:
❖the sudden death of a spouse, child, parent or loved one.
❖the expected or anticipated death of a loved one including parents, partners, friends and pets.
❖the diagnosis of a life threatening illness such as HIV disease, cancer or chronic illnesses such as an autoimmune disorder or genital herpes.
❖the adjustment to the consequences or impact of a medical or physically disabling condition.
❖the loss of a job or career path.
Grief and loss can arouse difficult to cope with emotions and thoughts. I understand that living with feelings of grief and loss is deeply personal. Sharing your bereaved feelings can be uncomfortable and difficult. As a psychotherapist, my listening skills, empathy and clinical expertise help to guide you through a process of grief recovery and acceptance. Together our work is focused on processing your experience of loss or losses throughout your life, understanding its impact and looking towards the future to find meaningful and enriching experiences – often exploring opportunities in your life in new, hopeful and creative ways. Strengthening connections with your outside world is often a reward and outcome of successful grief or bereavement counseling and psychotherapy.
For 25 years I have been working in the field of mental health counseling and practicing as a psychotherapist. I have treated a wide range of presenting problems. I manage my own practice and have developed a model that merges professionalism and clinical skill with warmth and care. I create a supportive therapeutic environment where people can explore and discuss intimate and difficult emotions, memories of the past and challenges of the present day. My high level of skill and my caring approach facilitate successful outcomes.

Supportive psychotherapy is the approach I practice in my work with individuals, couples and families whose lives are profoundly affected by the experience of grief and loss.
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long
at the closed door
that we do not see the one
which has been opened for us.”
~ Helen Keller
