Bereavement and Grief Counselling

When we think bereavement, we naturally think of the death of a loved one. But bereavement is the experience of losing anything that is significant or meaningful to us. It is characterised by grief, which is the process of going though a wide range of physical and emotional responses as we gradually adjust to life beyond our loss. Grieving someone (or something) important to us can be emotionally devastating – It is so incredibly hard because it often includes the loss of a whole way of life as we know it.
Here are just a few examples of the bereavement work I can help with.

​

·       The death of a spouse, partner, family member, close friend or work colleague,
        through old age, illness, accident or suicide.

·       Baby loss, termination and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)  

·       A decline in the physical or mental health of someone you love.

·       Separation in marriage, divorce, or the end of any significant relationship. 

·       The loss of a beloved pet. Including those who have lost animals who serve such as
        police, security and guide dogs.

·       Retirement and redundancy.

·       Moving or relocating home/work/university or struggling with 'empty nest syndrome'.

      ​
