I practise online and telephone counselling across Eastleigh, Winchester, Southampton, and Fareham or further afield if you live in the UK. I work comfortably over online platforms such as Zoom, FaceTime, or WhatsApp. With online and phone counselling, you can access sessions from the comfort of your own home or other private space, which may feel more convenient for you, discreet or relaxed. I offer a low-cost 60-minute consultation in the first instance to explore the possibility of counselling together. If you'd like to book an online or phone consultation or ask questions about how counselling works, you can email me through this website or call my mobile 07729 193629. All contact is confidential.
Are you seeking counselling after the loss of your baby or babies? I am an experienced bereavement counsellor, and I also hold specialist training in the sensitive issues surrounding miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss and sudden infant loss. I can offer a safe and supportive environment and genuine compassion and understanding at what may be the worst time of your life. If you'd like to explore bereavement counselling together, please email me through this website or call or text my practice mobile 07729 193629.
Sometimes, it's hard to express ourselves through words alone or move forward from struggles or concerns despite talking them through. For this reason, I also offer creative counselling, such as using art mediums alongside talking therapy, and you don't need experience or skills in art to engage in this. Using art mediums can be calming and even enjoyable. It can also be a helpful process for working through trauma and relieving the effects of depression, anxiety and other mental health issues. If you'd prefer to work creatively together or would like to explore the process, please let me know in our initial sessions.
If you're a new parent and concerned about or struggling with postnatal depression (PND), counselling can offer a safe, trusting and supportive relationship in which you can explore and reflect. Sometimes, feelings of judgement and shame surface (along with societal expectations), yet counselling can offer a space to address and relieve them rather than contribute to them.
In person-centred counselling (my approach), you're in control of the sessions, yet we can explore your thoughts and feelings, how you're coping, anxieties about your baby or babies, and any triggers to your depression, including issues during pregnancy, complications during childbirth and relationship issues.
Working together can relieve prolonged low mood, overwhelm, guilt and fear. My goal is to support you in being or becoming the kind of parent you'd like to be. If you'd like to explore postnatal depression counselling together, please email me through this website or call or text my practice mobile 07729 193629.
