Grief & Trauma Specialist
Humanising Grief | Psychotherapeutic & Systemic Insight | Empowering Compassionate Change
Hi, and welcome. I specialise in supporting adults through the emotional complexity of grief, loss, and trauma—whether from bereavement, estrangement, past emotional neglect, or life simply not turning out the way you’d hoped. I offer warm, grounded support that honours your story and helps you reconnect with yourself at your own pace.
Alongside individual psychotherapy, I also offer grief and trauma consultancy for businesses who want to respond to loss with care, confidence, and humanity.
Who I Work With
Individuals
I work with adults (18+) across the UK and Europe, often supporting people who:
- Are grieving a death, divorce, or significant life change.
- Grew up with emotionally immature, unavailable or narcissistic parents.
- Are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally shut down without an obvious “reason”.
- Have a high capacity for holding things together but feel lost inside.
- Want a space to gently explore what’s going on beneath the surface.
Organisation Consultancy Services
Grief doesn’t stay at home when someone comes to work. I support businesses to navigate grief and trauma in the workplace with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
Whether you’re responding to the death of a colleague, supporting bereaved staff, or navigating collective change (like redundancy or restructuring), I offer:
- Grief literacy workshops for managers and teams.
- 1:1 or group reflective spaces for staff following loss or trauma.
- Policy consultation on bereavement, trauma, and emotionally informed practice.
- Guidance for HR and leadership on compassionate communication and support.
I work in a discreet, collaborative way—ensuring your people feel seen, and your organisation is equipped to respond with care. Looking for support as a business or organisation? Click below to explore my consultancy services.

- Gain practical tools for emotional regulation and grounding.
- Prepare for emotionally difficult events or anniversaries.
Psychoeducation & Integration Support
For those curious about how grief, early emotional neglect, and relational patterns might be showing up in everyday life:
- Understand how your nervous system responds to stress, loss, and unmet needs.
- Learn why certain experiences feel so “big”—and what to do with that.
- Build emotional language and self-compassion.
Why This Approach?
Grief and trauma shape how we show up in the world—often in quiet, hidden ways. My work blends human-centred psychotherapy with somatic, creative and compassion-focused approaches, helping individuals and workplaces alike respond to emotional pain with humanity rather than haste.
Whether you’re an individual in the thick of grief, or navigating relational wounds, or an organisation navigating difficult territory with your employees, I bring curiosity, care, and deep respect to everything I do.
Confidentiality, compassion, and emotional safety are always at the heart of our work together.
