Bereavement, Loss & Grief Therapy
Grief is one of the most profound experiences a person can go through. Whatever your loss, you don't have to carry it alone. I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space to help you find your way through.
There Is No Right Way to Grieve
Grief is not a linear process, and there is no timeline you should be following. Whether your loss happened recently or years ago, whether others seem to understand it or not — your grief is valid, and it deserves to be heard.
I work with both adults and young people aged 11–18 who are navigating loss in all its forms. My approach is person-centred at its core, meaning I follow your lead, work at your pace, and draw on a range of therapeutic models to support you in the way that feels right for you.
My Approach to Grief Counselling
Person-centred therapy combined with evidence-based models
I use a person-centred foundation in all my work — creating a warm, accepting space where you can express whatever you're feeling without fear of judgement. Grief can bring up a complex mix of emotions: sadness, anger, guilt, relief, numbness, or all of these at once. All of it is welcome here.
Alongside this, I draw on established grief models and frameworks — including the Dual Process Model and continuing bonds theory — to help you understand your experience and find a way to live alongside your loss, rather than simply 'getting over it'.
- A safe space to express all emotions without judgement
- Understanding the grief process and what to expect
- Working through complicated or prolonged grief
- Rebuilding a sense of identity and meaning after loss
- Support for young people grieving alongside adults
Types of Loss I Can Help With
Death of a Loved One
Whether sudden or expected, the death of someone close — a parent, partner, child, sibling, or friend — can leave you feeling lost, overwhelmed, and unsure how to move forward.
Pregnancy Loss & Miscarriage
The loss of a pregnancy, whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, or termination, is a profound grief that is often invisible to others. Your loss matters, and so does your pain.
Pet Loss
Losing a beloved pet can be devastating, yet it's a grief that is often minimised or misunderstood. I offer a space where the depth of that bond — and that loss — is fully acknowledged.
Relationship Breakdown & Divorce
The end of a significant relationship brings its own form of grief — the loss of a future you had imagined, a shared life, and sometimes your sense of self. This loss is real and deserves support.
Loss of Identity or Role
Redundancy, retirement, illness, or a major life change can strip away a role that formed a central part of who you are. Grieving who you were is a valid and often overlooked experience.
Anticipatory Grief
Grief doesn't only begin at the moment of loss. If someone you love is seriously ill or nearing the end of their life, the grief you feel now — before the loss — is just as real and just as worthy of support.
What to Expect from Grief Counselling
Grief counselling isn't about fixing you or rushing you through a process. It's about having someone alongside you as you navigate one of life's hardest experiences. Sessions are led by you — there's no agenda, no pressure, and no expectation of where you 'should' be.
- A confidential, non-judgemental space to talk freely
- No pressure to 'move on' or follow a set timeline
- Support for complicated, delayed, or disenfranchised grief
- Help making sense of difficult or conflicting emotions
