Grief & Loss
Support after a bereavement or another significant loss, with room for whatever grief brings up for you.
Grief in its many forms
Grief is a natural response to losing someone or something that matters. It often follows a death, but it can also come after the end of a relationship, a miscarriage, a diagnosis, a move away from home or the loss of a role that gave life meaning. There is no correct way to grieve and no fixed timeline. Feelings can include sadness, anger, guilt, relief, numbness and exhaustion, sometimes all in the same day.
How counselling can support you
Friends and family may want to help but find it hard to know what to say, or you may feel you need to protect them from how you really feel. Counselling offers a space that is just for you. We can talk about the person or thing you have lost, the circumstances of the loss and the ways it has changed your everyday life.
Over time, many people find a way to carry their loss alongside a life that continues. That process is different for everyone, and we will follow what feels right for you rather than any set stages.
When the time feels right
Some people reach out soon after a loss. Others come months or years later, when grief resurfaces or feels stuck. Both are completely understandable. If you are unsure whether now is the right time, we can talk it through on a free introductory call.
You are welcome to bring photographs, memories or anything else that helps you talk about the person you are grieving. Equally, you may simply want a quiet space to notice how you are. Both are valid ways of using our time together.
When to reach out
You may find it helpful to talk if:
You feel overwhelmed by grief or find day-to-day life hard to manage
You feel numb or unable to grieve in the way you expected
Anniversaries, places or reminders bring back intense feelings
You are struggling with guilt, anger or unanswered questions
The loss was sudden, traumatic or complicated by other circumstances
You feel you have no one to talk to about the person you have lost
