Writing
|
Alongside my clinical work, I write about complex feelings, therapy, and emotional life.
My writing focuses on experiences that are often difficult to articulate directly, including loss, relational complexity, and the internal realities of therapeutic work. 
Confidential Grief
Confidential Grief: A therapist’s guide to client suicide, death, and the impact on practice is now available. The book explores the emotional realities of working with loss in clinical settings, particularly those that remain difficult to name or fully articulate within professional contexts. It draws on clinical experience of grief and loss in their most complex and less visible forms, and considers their impact on therapeutic practice. → Read more → Buy (Kindle) → Buy (Paperback) |
