Therapeutic Support: Individuals, Families & Groups
I offer warm, practical and thoughtful therapeutic
support for people and families going through difficult
or changing times; not only for people who are
struggling, but family members and carers supporting
someone through illness, grief, past and current
traumas, addictions, relationship difficulties or a
challenging period in life.
Sometimes it helps simply to have a safe place to talk,
make sense of what is happening and find a way forward
together.
Cancer
Support, Dementia, Illness & Bereavement
Support for people affected by cancer, including
patients, partners, family members and carers. I offer
one-to-one support and group work, including therapeutic
support and a fortnightly group through Cancer
Support France, Languedoc. Gentle support for people
living with illness, those caring for someone, and
anyone experiencing grief or loss.
Alcohol
& Substance Support
Support for people experiencing difficulties with
alcohol or substance use, as well as family members and
loved ones affected by it. I offer practical tools and
help, and emotional support; both can be needed.
Walking
& Talking Therapy
A more relaxed way to talk, using movement and the
outdoors to create space for reflection and
conversation.
Bespoke
Groups, Online & F2F
I also create and facilitate small therapeutic groups
around particular needs or shared experiences. Groups
can be online or face-to-face, open or closed,
short-term or ongoing, depending on what is needed.
My
Approach
I am a Systemic Family Therapist with a background in
Gestalt Psychotherapy and extensive experience in
individual, family and group work, with 25 years plus
working in the field of therapy, addictions, mental
health. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches,
adapting my work to the people I am supporting rather
than following one fixed model. I am particularly
interested in our relating, and the ways difficult
experiences can affect how we connect with ourselves and
each other.
My aim
is to provide a space that feels safe, confidential,
respectful and welcoming, while helping people find
their own strengths and ways forward.
