Loss and endings are a natural part of life, yet they can deeply impact us. Grief has no timeline—love doesn’t simply switch off. Grief therapy isn’t limited to losing a loved one; it can also help process the pain of divorce or the end of a significant relationship. In therapy, we navigate these overwhelming emotions together. While we cannot change the past, we can transform how we feel and respond to it. When multiple losses accumulate, it may lead to what is known as complex grief.

Grief isn’t always about others. Sometimes, we grieve for ourselves—for the experiences we’ll never have or the relationships that never came to be. Interwoven with this is end-of-life therapy, helping individuals and their loved ones ensure a peaceful and meaningful passage when the time comes.

Anxiety looks different for everyone.  It can present itself as a physical feeling, emotional overwhelm, or an overactive mind.  For some, it may also affect daily routines and decision-making, making it difficult to focus or accomplish tasks.  This can lead to frustration and feelings of inadequacy, creating a cycle that feels hard to break.  Understanding these unique experiences is the first step toward finding effective ways to manage anxiety.

In therapy, we’ll explore your anxiety together, uncover its root causes, and work towards addressing them. I’ll equip you with practical tools and techniques that you can use daily to better manage and build a healthier relationship with your anxiety. By tackling the underlying issues, we can reduce its impact and help you cultivate a greater sense of inner peace and balance in your life.

Feeling low and experiencing depression may seem similar, but they often bring unique challenges. Much like anxiety, our approach focuses on working together to uncover the root cause of your depression. Through our sessions, we’ll address these underlying issues, helping to reduce the intensity of these feelings and guiding you toward a healthier, happier life. For those dealing with hidden depression while maintaining a high-functioning lifestyle, we’ll explore your current coping mechanisms and identify areas where meaningful change can make a difference.

In addition to addressing the root causes, we will also explore practical tools and strategies to help you manage your daily life more effectively.  This might include mindfulness techniques, creating a routine that works for you, and developing healthier thought patterns.  Together, we’ll focus on building resilience and empowering you to regain control over your emotional well-being, one step at a time.

Our relationship with food tells us a lot about the relationship we have with ourselves.  Food has such a big meaning in our lives.  The work we will do will look at the relationship you have with food and your body and what the struggles might be.  This can vary from overeating, binge eating and restricting food. 

Additionally, we will explore the emotional and mental triggers tied to your eating habits, such as stress, anxiety, or past experiences.  Understanding these connections can help you uncover the underlying reasons behind your behaviours and pave the way for a healthier, more balanced approach to food and self-care.

The aim in therapy is to have a healthy relationship with yourself and with food.  I always focus on small sustainable changes that we can make around our thinking and food.  I recognise how difficult food issues can be as this is the one thing we do need to live.  Understanding the connection between emotions and eating habits is also an essential part of the process.  Often, our relationship with food is deeply tied to how we cope with stress, anxiety, or other emotional challenges.  By exploring these triggers and building healthier coping mechanisms, we can create a more mindful and balanced approach to nourishment that supports both our physical and emotional well-being.
