COUNSELLING IN WOKING & ONLINE
Bereavement & loss
Support when someone, or something important in your life, is no longer there.
Grief can bring sadness, anger, numbness, relief or feelings that seem to contradict one another. Loss may follow a death, but it can also involve a relationship, a role or a future that has changed. There is no single way you are supposed to feel.
What we might explore
We can make room for what the loss means to you, including the parts that are difficult to say aloud. Our work can include remembering, adjusting to daily life and exploring your relationship with what has been lost, without imposing a timetable.
A conversation shaped around you
My integrative and relational approach puts your experience at the centre. We can notice patterns, understand feelings and consider what support or change might look like for you. There is no requirement to tell your whole story at once.
My experience
I currently work as an in-house bereavement counsellor at Woking & Sam Beare Hospice. I bring this understanding of grief and loss to my separate private practice, offering space to feel heard and process difficult experiences at your own pace.
Practical details
Sessions last 50 minutes, cost £60 and are available to adults aged 18 and over, face-to-face in Woking, online or by telephone. We can discuss arrangements in a free introductory call.
Sessions and common questions ↗Do I need to know what to talk about?
No—you don’t need to arrive with a clear plan or know exactly what to say. We can begin with whatever is on your mind and take time together to explore what you need from counselling.
Can we meet online or by telephone?
Yes. I offer face-to-face counselling in Woking, as well as online and telephone sessions.
What happens in the introductory call?
I offer a free 20-minute consultation by telephone or video call so we can talk through what you’re looking for and see if I’m the right person to support you. I’m happy to talk through any questions you may have, so you can get a feel for how I work and decide whether therapy with me feels right for you. There is no obligation to book.
Is counselling confidential?
Yes. What you share in our sessions is treated confidentially, so you can speak openly about what’s on your mind. There are some exceptions, including certain legal obligations or serious concerns about your safety or someone else’s. Wherever possible, I would discuss any need to share information with you first.
I also receive regular professional supervision, where your identity is protected. We’ll talk through confidentiality before we begin, and you’re welcome to ask questions at any time.
