Grief & Bereavement.
Grief is a deeply personal experience. It can feel confusing, overwhelming and at times out of control. You may experience a wide range of emotions that can come and go unexpectedly, often when you least expect them.
Losing someone important in your life can feel incredibly painful and, at times, very lonely. Therapy offers a calm and confidential space where you can begin to explore your feelings and make sense of your experience.
You might be feeling...

Frequent thoughts of your lost loved one
Grief can feel unpredictable, and there is no right or wrong way to experience it.
How therapy can help.
In our sessions, you will have space to talk about your thoughts, feelings and memories at your own pace. There is no pressure to talk about anything before you feel ready.
Friends and family can be a valuable support, but it is common to worry about upsetting them or feel that your experience is not fully understood. Therapy offers a space that is just for you — where you can speak openly and be truly heard.
I can also share gentle ideas and grief models to help you understand what you are going through and reassure you that your responses are natural.
