Grief is one of the most profound human experiences. Just as the shock and numbness starts to ease after those first few months, the people you relied on for support can feel as though they have moved on. I understand what that feels like and am here to support you and give you a space to grieve for your loved one – Your pace, unique to you and your relationship with them.
Grief Counselling is a form of talking therapy, grounded in a genuine human relationship that provides a safe, validating, supportive space to process the emotional and physical pain of loss. It’s not about getting over grief, or moving on, it’s about learning what is happening physically in your body and brain and allowing yourself to be however you need to be.
Grief isn’t neat and tidy and doesn’t follow a set formula or a set period of time.
It can feel messy which can be difficult when you may already be feeling not in control over the loss of your loved one.
Understanding what is happening to you physically and emotionally can help you to give yourself the compassion and self-care you need as you navigate your grief.
I offer a regular compassionate, non-judgemental space, no matter how complex your relationship may have been or how conflicting your feelings may be, without worrying about burdening others or unrealistic expectations of moving on or an unrealistic timeframe.
Together we will explore your unique experience of loss, at a pace that feels right for you. Sometimes you may feel tearful and heavy and other times you may feel lighter. Humour and lighter moments can be a helpful part of the process and often all those feelings and emotions can be present within the same session at different times.
All of it is welcome.
Grief counselling can support anyone who is struggling with loss, including:
I work in an integrative relational way where you are at the heart of what I do. My approach draws on several counselling disciplines including CBT, Psychodynamic, Person–Centred, Neuroscience, Polyvagal and Somatic.
I uniquely blend these to your needs and goals which I adapt as we go on. You will be given information and choices as to which approaches you would like to try, always with your wellbeing and goals in mind. I work with the whole you, body and mind as they are inextricably linked and impacted by grief.
