Counselling Service
What is Grief Counselling?
Grief is a natural response to loss, yet it can feel anything but natural when you are living it. It does not follow a clear path. It can come in waves, appear unexpectedly, or sit quietly in the background of everyday life.
Grief counselling is support for people living with that loss, offering understanding and care as you make sense of what you are feeling.
Whether your loss is recent or happened some time ago, you may find that it affects you in ways you did not ever expect — emotionally, physically, or even in how you relate to others and the world around you.
Counselling can offer a safe space to pause with what you are carrying. It provides a place for you to stop, breathe and to talk openly about the person you have lost. To reflect on how your life has changed, or the sudden impact this loss has had on you.
You may want to explore about memories, unanswered questions, regrets, or the ways grief has shaped your relationships, identity, or sense of self. Whatever your reason, having a compassionate, experienced counsellor alongside you can make all the difference.”
I understand that reaching out for support when you are grieving can feel daunting and overwhelming. Finding someone you feel safe and comfortable with is an important part of the journey, and I offer a calm, accepting space where you can be yourself, feel understood, and gently supported.
Over time, thoughtful approaches have evolved to support people through grief and loss. They are not there to explain away pain or set expectations, but to offer understanding, validation, and compassion — with someone walking alongside you at your own pace.
“There is no right way to grieve — only your way.”
