Welcome to Create Space Counselling

Create the space for Healing

A gentle space for counselling, bereavement support and baby loss counselling.

When life feels overwhelming, painful or uncertain, it can be hard to know where to begin. I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can talk openly, explore what you’re carrying, and feel supported at your own pace.

Counselling for Life’s Challenges

I work with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional difficulties including anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship challenges, self‑esteem issues and bereavement.

My approach is gentle, person‑centred and grounded in empathy, giving you space to make sense of what you’re feeling without pressure or expectation.

Specialist Support for Miscarriage, Baby Loss & Fertility‑Related Loss

Alongside general counselling, I offer specialist support for early miscarriage, baby loss, recurrent loss and fertility‑related grief. This is a deeply personal and often isolating experience, and you deserve a space where your grief is understood and held with care.

In‑Person Counselling in Bury & Online Sessions Available

You are welcome to choose the setting that feels most comfortable for you. Sessions are available in my quiet counselling room in Bury, Greater Manchester or online via secure video.

If you’d like to get a sense of who I am and what shaped the way I work, you can read more here.

A Person‑Centred, Creative Approach

Every person’s story is unique. We work in the way that feels right for you — whether that’s talking, using imagery, or exploring feelings through creative tools such as sand tray or art materials. There is no right or wrong way to be here.

Take your time

You are welcome to explore these pages. When you feel ready, you can learn more about the support I can offer and how we might work together. ​

If you would like to reach out, I offer a short introductory call so you can get a sense of whether this space feels right for you.​
