About Rose
Rose is a compassionate, insightful counsellor who offers a person-centred space where you feel heard, valued and supported. Drawing from professional training and personal experiences of immense grief and loss, she understands the courage it takes to begin the healing process. Her intention is to connect more deeply and guide you toward greater self-awareness, resilience and emotional balance. With a philosophy centred on the belief that sustained healing involves the whole self – mind, body and spirit. Together you explore patterns, experiences and emotions with curiosity and care, creating opportunities for renewed clarity, growth and empowerment – “Empowerment through awareness, renewal and transformation.”
My Story
My journey into counselling was deeply shaped by my own personal experiences with profound grief and loss – the passing of my beloved 19-year-old son Charlie, and my mother when I was a child. I have developed a deep empathy for others walking through grief and I want them to see that even in the darkest days of shock, confusion, despair, overwhelm, pain and depression; there is a pathway towards calm, peace and a renewed sense of stability and harmony.
Healing is not a destination but an ongoing journey of faith, love, acceptance, growth and renewal – “Healing the Heart – awakening the Soul and transforming the Self.”
Our Services include: -
Grief and Loss, stress, depression, dealing with anxiety, relationship counselling, dealing with self-esteem or confidence issues, or simply seeking greater clarity and balance.
My Approach
What is Holistic Counselling? – Holistic counselling is a gentle, person-centred approach that recognises the connection between our mind, body, emotions and spirit. It looks at the whole person and their life experiences, to support sustained healing and balance. Therapies and Techniques that we use include: - Mindfulness and Relaxation practices, Cognitive and Emotional awareness, Somatic and Body-Awareness therapy, Grief, Loss and Transition support, Guided Imagery and Visualisation, Energy and Spiritual Balance, Creative and Expressive Therapies, Inner-Child and Self-Compassion work, Nature and Eco-Therapy.
Each session is guided by compassion and presence, drawing on my own-lived experiences of grief and loss. These profound and tragic experiences have inspired my commitment to supporting others through their healing journey. To help clients by offering support, guidance, practical skills and strategies that I have personally benefited from. Using the clinical knowledge I have gained, I provide a Holistic model of counselling that combines evidence-based methods, while nurturing body, mind and spirit. My intention is to support, uplift, empower and inspire others as they move through healing and self-discovery. “No Mud No Lotus – We can rise above the muddy waters.”
