Counselling & Support

Grief is our natural response to loss-
a deeply personal yet universal experience.
While we often focus on the emotional aspects of grief,
loss affects us physically, mentally, socially, spiritually, & philosophically.

Your grief is uniquely yours.

No two people grieve the same way, yet grief touches every part of our existence. Our emotions, thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, physical health, identity, and relationships all shift in response to loss. Children and adults process grief differently, which is completely natural but can feel concerning without proper understanding.

Understanding your grief experience

You might experience sadness, anger, shock, relief, overwhelm, anxiety, isolation, regret, or numbness - sometimes all in one day. Your specific relationship with the person who died influences how you grieve, and your life stage matters too.

Grief does evolve over time.
While it becomes part of who we are,
we learn to carry it in ways that allow for
healing, growth, and new experiences…
alongside our love for those we've lost.

Professional Bereavement Support

Through compassionate counselling sessions, I offer you a dedicated space to process your loss at your own pace. These sessions help you understand your grief responses, develop healthy coping strategies, and find your path forward while honoring your loved one's memory.

My approach is grounded in Dr. Alan Wolfelt's concept of 'grief companioning' - walking alongside you rather than directing your journey. This means meeting you where you are, honoring your unique process, and supporting you without trying to 'fix' or rush your grief.

I offer flexible session options to suit your needs and comfort:

  • 'Walk & talk' sessions in nature

  • Zoom video sessions

  • Phone sessions

Whatever format feels right for you, we can create a supportive space for your healing journey

I am available for talks, workshops & training in the community and for businesses & organisations.
