As an NCPS Accredited Registrant and member of the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA), I offer specialist, compassionate support for anyone affected by miscarriage, recurrent loss, ectopic pregnancy, TFMR, stillbirth, or fertility related grief. Loss can touch every part of life — emotions, relationships, identity, and the sense of who you are. You don’t have to face that alone.

My approach is gentle, person centred and trauma informed. I create a calm, reassuring space where you can talk openly, make sense of overwhelming feelings, and begin to reconnect with yourself at your own pace. Some people come wanting to process shock or sadness; others want to explore identity changes, anxiety, relationship strain, or the loneliness that often follows loss. Whatever you bring, you will be met with empathy, respect and care.

I work with individuals in person in Bury (Greater Manchester) and online across the UK. Sessions are 50 minutes and offered weekly or fortnightly, depending on what feels right for you.

If you’re looking for a supportive space to talk, reflect and gently rebuild, I’m here to help.

Lets create the space for healing together.
