I practise online and telephone counselling across Eastleigh, Winchester, Southampton and Fareham (or further afield if you live in the UK). Secure platforms such as Zoom, FaceTime or WhatsApp are used for online sessions. You can access sessions from the comfort of your own home or other private space, which may be 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 have any questions or wish to book an online or telephone consultation, please get in touch.
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, please contact me to arrange a low-cost consultation.
Sometimes, it's hard to express yourself 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 (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 underlying traumas and relieving the effects of mental health issues. We can discuss creative counselling at the consultation or in our initial sessions.
Are you a new parent and concerned about or struggling with postnatal depression (PND)? I have received training in PND and can offer a safe, trusting and supportive environment - free of judgement, criticism or shame. We can use the counselling space to explore your thoughts and feelings, how you're coping, anxieties about your baby, and any triggers or causes of your postnatal depression, including issues during pregnancy, complications during childbirth and relationship issues. Working together can relieve prolonged low mood and overwhelm, guilt or fear and help you move towards enjoying parenthood and being the parent you'd like to be. If you'd like to explore counselling, please contact me to arrange a low-cost online or phone consultation.
