Loss can change everything.

When someone important dies, life can suddenly feel unfamiliar.

You might be trying to get through work, look after your family, or carry on as normal, while inside you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, numb or completely lost.

What brings people to therapy?

Grief can turn your world upside down. You might feel sad, angry, guilty, confused, or completely numb. Some days it can be hard to get out of bed, think straight, find the motivation to do everyday tasks, or even put your feelings into words. Other days may feel a little easier, and you might find yourself laughing or enjoying something, only to wonder if that's okay. Grief can be unpredictable and affect everyone differently. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, and you don't have to face it on your own.

People often come to me when they are navigating:

  • Constant sadness

  • Feeling alone, even around other people

  • Guilt about things you did or didn't say

  • Difficulty sleeping

  • Brain fog and poor concentration

  • Anxiety about the future

  • Feeling disconnected from life

  • Missing the person so much it physically hurts

If even one of these feels familiar, you’re in the right place.

I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can talk openly about your loss and find a way through it at your own pace.

Grief doesn't follow a timetable.

Many people come to me because they feel stuck.

Friends and family may have stopped asking how they're doing.

Everyone seems to expect them to be "back to normal".

But grief doesn't work like that.

You might still be struggling months or even years later.

You may feel guilty for moving forward.

Or guilty because you can't.

You may find yourself replaying conversations, wondering if things could have been different.

You may wake up every morning with a feeling of dread before the day has even started.

These experiences are far more common than people realise.

You don't have to carry this on your own.

Grief can feel incredibly lonely, even when there are people around you. Sometimes it helps to have a space that's just for you, where you don't need to protect anyone else, put on a brave face, or worry about saying the wrong thing.

A space where you can talk about the person you've lost, share memories, make sense of difficult feelings, or simply say out loud the things you've been carrying on your own.

Whether you're feeling sad, angry, guilty, numb, confused, or a mixture of everything, you will be met with warmth, compassion and understanding.

You don't need to have the right words.

You don't need to be "doing grief properly."

There is no right way to grieve.

You can simply come as you are.

A personal note

Loss is not something I only understand professionally.

Like many people, I have experienced significant losses in my own life and know how much grief can affect us. It can touch every part of life, often in ways we don't expect.

I know that grief isn't just sadness. It can feel like exhaustion, anxiety, anger, loneliness, confusion, or simply a sense that life doesn't feel the same anymore.

One thing my own experiences have taught me is that there is no right way to grieve. We all experience loss differently, and there is no timeline that anyone should have to follow.

Because of this, I believe grief needs to be met with patience, compassion and understanding, not pressure or expectations.

If you choose to work with me, you'll find a warm, supportive space where you can talk openly about your loss and whatever it means for you.

How I work

Many people come to therapy feeling unsure where to start, which is okay. My role is simply to walk alongside you while you make sense of things in your own way and at your own pace. I offer short-term and long-term therapy online in Walthamstow, London E17, and across the UK. I aim to offer flexibility on a day and time which suits you, where ever possible.

I have experience supporting adults, teens, and children, in schools, counselling services, and private practice across East London and Essex, and I understand how grief, loss, and life’s transitions, can affect adult, young people, and families.

Above all, my aim is to help you feel safe, heard, and supported.

Taking the first step can feel difficult. Many people feel unsure about contacting a therapist for the first time. That’s completely normal.

If you’d like to see whether therapy with me feels like the right fit, you’re welcome to book a 20 minute consultation (£20) or send me a message.

There’s no pressure to commit.

Just a chance to talk.

We can start with a calm, focused conversation.

Testimonials

  • “Kelly is an asset to my son. He has ADD and she has provided him a tremendous amount of emotional support and continues to do so. Her experience within education settings is a bonus. I could not have gone through this without her knowledge and patience. My son is now showing more confidence and has become more social at school. I highly recommend Kelly to support your child.”

    Gemma H, London

  • “I decided to seek counselling because I was struggling to attend college due to my social anxiety. Kelly gave me a space where I could feel relaxed and talk about what was going on for me. I felt free to be open and share what was really going on inside and not worry about being judged. We worked together to control my over-thinking and for me to be kinder towards myself. Kelly has helped me get to a point where I am now more confident in myself and able to approach my peers at college. Since working with Kelly, I enjoy college a lot more and I am excited to start my second year!”

    CR, 17 - London

  • "I was directed towards Kelly by a colleague who had experienced her work and felt she would be ideally placed to support me through the needs I presented at the time that related to my children and feelings around generational understanding and acceptance. I couldn’t imagine what a younger therapist would have to offer as I perceived myself as a ‘worldly wise soon to be elder’ who held his own. I initially attempted to hold back, not wanting to be perceived as weak but soon found that Kelly held my hidden fragile self with care and respectful regard. I felt seen, heard and understood in a way I had previously felt was not attainable by one from a younger generation and was able to work through what transpired to be my own insecurities and fears. During our sessions, Kelly demonstrated a level of personable professionalism that felt effortless, was enabling and gave me the space to explore without judgement."

    Geoff 58, South London

    ZR, London

  • I have found that I am able to be open and my true self when talking to Kelly. I feel truly heard and understood when sharing my thoughts and feelings with her. She has a gentle way of supporting me to think about things in different ways. I can’t recommend her enough.
