Losing someone you love can turn the world upside down and even the strongest hearts can feel heavy, confused, or lost. At a time when everything feels different, having someone to talk to can make all the difference. You deserve space to be heard, understood, and supported.

​

Sometimes grief can be complicated or unresolved and you may need support to unravel this. You may be mourning what was, or what wasn’t. No matter what your relationship looked like, your experience is valid. There is no ‘right’ way to grieve or timetable for grief, everyone moves through loss in their own rhythm. I offer compassionate and gentle support long after the funeral flowers have faded.

​

Although we usually associate grief with the death of a loved one, there are other endings and life transitions that can evoke a sense of profound loss. This may include:

• Relationship break-up

• Divorce

• Redundancy

• Career change

• Moving home

• Loss of hope or dreams

• Ill-health

• Retirement

• Worries about getting older

Whether by choice or not, such events force us into a changed personal world and a new identity. They often uncover hurt, disappointment, anger and can lead to enhanced anxiety about the future.

​

Anxiety is the body's natural internal alarm system. Instead of trying to pushing anxiety away, how would it be to lean into it? How would it be to give yourself time to notice how it manifests and feels,  and staying present with it long enough to understand what it’s trying to tell you? You can build a new relationship with your anxiety, one where you’re not controlled by it.

​

Anxiety often rises when something is shifting.  The ‘what if’s’ can surface …. What if this goes wrong? What if I can’t handle it? We can step into overthinking, catastrophising or doubting ourselves. A process of adjustment to new possibilities takes place when the unfamiliar starts to feel familiar, confidence increases, the nervous system recalibrates and it starts to feel safer.
