More about Barbara
- 7 years' experience

- BACP
I can support you in your grief, especially if you are finding that you have no peace or meaning in your life. My name is Barbara and I am experienced in working with grief and know how someone's life can be left shattered after a loss. I also have a keen interest in Type 1 Diabetes and the people who live with it.
My journey to become a counsellor was driven by my own life's experiences, and I too sought counselling to help me explore my feelings. Finding the right counsellor was the best investment I made for my self-care. If you are struggling because of a loss, I could be the person for you.
I can't 'fix' what has happened to you but I can certainly 'be' with you and help you to make some sense of things; allowing you a non-judgemental, confidential space over video and/or phone calls. I work with anticipatory grief and bereavement and have worked voluntarily for a local hospice, helping patients and families who are living with terminal illnesses. I support people after loss too.
My career and personal experience has taught me how loss is a very individual thing and not everybody will grieve in the same way. Whatever your situation, you will need empathy and support; both of which you will get from me.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
