Grief and trauma

El mal no domanda permesso

Pain does not ask permission 

We all have in us the ability to weather storms. But, every once in a while a storm is so severe or prolonged or unexpected that we are left devastated in its wake. We feel deeply shaken, damaged, perhaps even adrift.

How do we look to the future with hope again?

We may be overwhelmed by feelings of

• emptiness, despair and lethargy

• confusion, disorganization and rising panic

• anger, guilt and shame

• profound loss and sadness

We need help putting the pieces back together again.

With post-graduate training in grief, trauma, loss and bereavement I can support you when life is at its most difficult. I am here to help you express and explore the new reality that you're facing. Together we work to make sense of what has happened.

Together we reimagine your future and together we begin to rebuild.

Life can be so painful. I hope to ease your experience of that pain.

Anxiety and depression

We live in a world that shares more than ever before. But, despite this digital intimacy we are often missing real, meaningful, authentic connection - the kind that comes from sharing your life's challenges with someone who genuinely cares and has your very best interests at heart.

Let's connect and together let's move you out of loneliness, isolation, anxiety, and depression and into confidence and deeper relationships. I bring a range of evidence-based strategies for managing distress and coping with crises - be they academic, work-related, family or relationship based.

Step by step we work to enhance your coping strategies and equip you with insights and skills that are then yours to carry forward into each stage of your life.

parenting

It can be so painful to see our children struggling -whether it be with learning challenges, peer pressure, or fragile mental health, navigating everything from grief to bullying to addiction. How can we be and do what is best for our children?

This is even more difficult if we are stressed and under pressure ourselves.

In the wake of major disruptions like separation and divorce, the death of a loved one, or a traumatic event, establishing and maintaining routines can be overwhelming. Life has been turned upside down. When a parent is under extreme stress a child’s behaviour may reflect that.

With years of experience providing parenting support and developing parenting plans I know how to help families stabilize, improve communication and de-escalate conflicts in the home or between homes.

Using calm, positive parenting techniques and resources aimed at strengthening your attachment with your child, together we can restore harmony and wellbeing to your whole family.
