WITH MY HELP...
- People experiencing intense grief can feel unburdened. They’re able to re-engage with life while continuing to grieve

- They discover tools, techniques, and resources that enable them to identify and manage the unique ways their grief impacts them.
- People are helped to transition from feeling utterly passive and overwhelmed by grief to feeling hopeful and energised once more
- They regain their confidence and desire to live their life as fully as possible, often despite and because of their bereavement.
GRIEF THERAPY
Perhaps you know that your grief is a heavy burden which you can’t carry alone any more.
I give you the time and freedom to tell your story as often as you need to so that your burden feels lighter.
I invite you to explore with me how grief affects you and how you can work with it, integrating it into your life.
The support and comfort given to you by your close family and friends is unique and wonderful. But what if your close family and friends are also grieving?
Grief isolates us and wants us for itself. What if you could talk honestly about how grief is for you to someone outside your circles – a Grief Therapist? How quickly isolation begins to melt away, and then you realise you’re not alone.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE
My speciality is grief in all its forms. I can help you regain your life balance and hope after a significant loss.
I provide you with a variety of therapeutic resources and help you develop emotional awareness and intelligence about your grief. This can reduce overwhelm.
You may feel that grief has robbed you of any ability to imagine a positive future without your loved one.
I will help you to imagine and rebuild your life: to live well with your loss.
SHAMANIC HEALING
Shamanic Healing is ancient. It can be found in early tribal practices throughout the world. It connects to deeper dimensions of consciousness, removing energetic burdens and old wounds. It restores balance to our lives.
I integrate Grief Therapy with Shamanic Healing. This can help to reduce anxiety, overwhelm and deep distress. Shamanic Healing can also tend to your intense grief. It goes beyond words.
Integrating Shamanic Healing with Grief Therapy takes place after full discussion with you and with your consent.

What is Grief Therapy?
Grief therapy, also known as Grief Counselling or Bereavement Therapy, is a specialised form of Counselling.
Its focus is helping people navigate the complex emotional and practical landscape following a major loss and to integrate this loss constructively within their lives.
Grief Therapy gives you the opportunity to ‘tell it like it is’ to a skilled therapist.
It doesn’t stop there. As you make this journey you’ll discover new things about yourself and be given many helping resources to use everyday.
After a loss, grief becomes like an unwanted, permanent house-guest. It takes time and effort for us to get to know this unwelcome house-guest, to make some peace with it, and to live with it constructively for the rest of our life.
Grief emotions can be stormy, passionate and certainly massively overwhelming. Who knew that there were so many emotions we could experience?
Talking with a Grief Therapist safely and trustingly enables you to unpack and explore these deeply powerful emotions and to feel more at ease with them.
What is Shamanic Healing?
Shamanism is an age-old healing tradition pre-dating all world religions.
If you feel drawn to it, it can become a way of life, nurturing your connection to the natural world, creating balance within and without.
Shamanism is found in all tribal cultures, from Mongolia to South America, from Tibet to all the Americas. Shamans are called and trained to be seers in the dark, to walk between worlds – the seen and the unseen.
Shamanic healing is profound energy healing calling upon the power and help of the unseen ones through the use of drumming, chanting, rattles, and crystals.
In Shamanic Healing we access wisdom and guidance for our life and be given healing for illness of body, mind and spirit.
Shamanic Healing works at depth, and over time, wondrously.
