Harrogate Counselling for Midlife, Bereavement & Loss

In-Person & Online Appointments Available

​

I’m a counsellor and psychotherapist offering counselling for adults experiencing midlife transitions, bereavement, and loss in Harrogate and online across the UK.

Are you feeling like this?

​

Frazzled and frayed around the edges, wondering what the heck happened to the life you were holding together?

​

Treading water or permanently pleasing others, while struggling with low mood, sadness, grief, or loss?

​

Feeling stuck — with no clear sense of purpose or direction — as your self-confidence quietly slips away?

​

Disconnected in your relationships and feeling increasingly lonely?

​

Carrying regret or disappointment about the past, or anger about your current circumstances?

​

Anxious about what the future holds?

And would you rather feel like this?

​

Happier, calmer, and more optimistic about the future.

​

Less anxious and overwhelmed, with a stronger sense of agency and control in your life.

​

Closer and more connected in your relationships.

​

Rediscovering your self-esteem and self-confidence.

​

Experiencing more joy, lightness, and even fun again.

You don’t have to navigate this alone.

​

As a fellow midlifer, I understand the unique challenges this stage of life can bring. Alongside my counselling work, I bring many years of experience from a long career in the NHS as a nurse.

Like many people in midlife, I’ve juggled children, marriage, work, friendships, and caring responsibilities — spinning plates and hoping they wouldn’t crash (and sometimes they did). That lived experience, alongside my professional training, shapes the grounded and compassionate way I work.

How I Can Help

​

I’ve worked with many midlifers facing challenges such as:

  • Divorce or separation

  • Adjusting to an empty nest

  • Coping with bereavement

  • Navigating retirement or redundancy

  • Managing the pressures of the “sandwich generation” — caring for both children and ageing parents

 

You can read more about how I work on my Work With Me page.
