Step Forward
Counselling | Psychotherapy

I believe that grief, loss and uncertainty deserve more space than they are often given. 

​

Much of my work centres around pregnancy loss, infertility and involuntary childlessness - experiences that can feel isolating and misunderstood. I am deeply committed to offering a space where these stories are met with compassion, steadiness and respect. 

​

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist working in a person-centred and trauma0informed way. This means I do not rush your process or impose an agenda. Instead I walk alongside you, helping you make sense of what you are carrying at a pace that feels manageable. 

​

Alongside my specialist work in reproductive grief, I support adults, children and couples navigating bereavement, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.

Walking therapy and Eco-psychology

​

​For some clients, traditional face to face sessions don't feel like the right fit. I offer walking therapy which combines the grounding rhythm of movement with the calming benefits of being in nature. Drawing on eco-psychology, these sessions can help create

space for reflection, regulation and gentle processing. 

​

​

Often my sessions are also attended by my dog, Chloe,

whom I have found many clients find a very reassuring

and quietly comforting companion during sessions.

Consultancy, Writing and Media

 

In addition to therapeutic work, I provide consultancy and training to organisations, raising awareness around infertility and pregnancy loss in the workplace.

 

I am also the author of The Seven Birthstones  and have been featured on a number of podcasts and articles.
