Grief & Loss Counselling Support for Individuals
Welcome to Life Wisdom Counselling
And thank you so much for visiting my website.
What brings you here?
Are you experiencing feelings such as heartbreak, loss, or grief?
Have you lost someone special due to bereavement or relationship breakdown ?
Are you feeling a lack of enthusiasm or purpose ?
Are you always there for others but feel you just need someone to be there for you?
Someone to listen; really listen, without judgement.
If this is you, then I’m so glad you’re here.
Individual Grief & Loss Therapy
These feelings can leave us constantly worried, confused, alone and powerless to move forward.
Sometimes we just need some clarity to help us understand why we are feeling the way we do. We find It difficult to talk about our feelings with our friends or loved ones for fear we are burdening them with our problems or that they may not understand why we are struggling to cope. We do not want them to take our unhappiness personally.
The hardest struggles in life can be the greatest opportunity for change and personal growth. Being listened to and supported with empathy as your true authentic self in a confidential, non-judgmental environment can provide the perfect space to facilitate this.
Being here means you have already taken the very first step
Well done!

My Approach & Values
I use an integrative approach where I draw on a range of different theories and techniques based on the individual needs of my clients.
I value and use Person Centred therapy primarily as I believe we are all the experts in our own lives and with support we can find the answers within ourselves.
I also utilise CBT techniques to help people whose negative thoughts and behaviours may be contributing to the destructive patterns that are keeping them from moving forward to a place of clarity and a greater sense of wellbeing.
