About me and my approach
My journey into therapy began through my own lived experience of grief and adverse childhood experiences. These early challenges sparked a deep interest in childhood trauma and how it can shape emotional wellbeing, self-worth, relationships, physical health, and coping patterns in adulthood.
I also bring a personal understanding of bereavement and grief. During my teenage years, I lost a close friend to leukaemia, and later experienced the loss of both of my parents to cancer. These experiences shaped my passion for supporting others through grief, loss, and emotional pain, and deepened my understanding of how relationships with those we lose can influence the way we process bereavement.
My Approach to Grief and loss therapy
My understanding of grief extends beyond bereavement and includes the emotional impact of chronic illness, changes in health, and shifts in identity. These experiences can create their own sense of loss and deeply affect how we see ourselves and our place in the world.
My own experience of therapy was transformative and inspired me to retrain professionally so I could support others on their healing journey.
I trained with the Kent Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy, where I gained my Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy, along with specialist certification in Hypnoanalysis. I also hold a Level 4 qualification in counselling skills and theory, and continue to develop my practice through ongoing professional development.
Alongside my private practice, I supported students at the Kent Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy for two years. Prior to this, I volunteered with Cruse Bereavement Support for just over a year.
Before retraining as a therapist, I worked as a police emergency call handler and dispatcher. This role strengthened my ability to remain calm under pressure, listen actively, and support people during highly emotional and distressing situations.
In 2024, I was honoured to receive a Gold Award at the Kent Health & Beauty Awards in recognition of my work. I am also the author of The Grief Healing Journal, created to gently support people through loss with compassion and care.
Outside of work
Outside of my work, I am an animal lover and share my home with my husband and our two dogs. When I’m not working, I enjoy reading, studying, and spending time with my family and our dogs. I have three grown-up children and one grandchild.
I also co facilitate a twice monthly grief support groups called Piece Of Wellness, in Rainham Christian Fellowship Hall and Iwade Barn, offering a safe and supportive space for people to connect, share, and heal together.
I believe therapy should feel human, compassionate, and free from judgement. My aim is to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported, wherever they are in their journey.
