Compassionate grief counselling to help you navigate loss,  change, and life after bereavement – online at your own pace

A safe space to explore your grief

Hi, I’m Frances.

I am a qualified counsellor specialising in grief and loss, providing online grief counselling for people navigating bereavement, miscarriage, infertility, pet loss, relationship loss and significant life changes.

I offer a calm, steady and non-judgemental space where you can talk about what you are experiencing without pressure, expectations, or the need to have all the answers.

Grief affects everyone differently

There is no single way to grieve. You may be finding your way through the death of someone important to you, pregnancy loss, infertility, the loss of a beloved pet, the end of a relationship, or a life change that has left you feeling uncertain about what comes next.

Loss can affect how you feel day to day, how you relate to others, your routines, your sense of identity, and your hopes for the future.

You do not need to be grieving in a particular way, or to be at a particular stage of grief, to seek counselling. Whether your loss is recent or something you have been carrying for a long time, having a safe space to explore your feelings can help you begin to make sense of your experience.

If you would like to understand more about the different areas I support, you can explore the types of grief and loss I work with below.

The types of grief I support

You may be seeking support after:

• The death of a partner, family member, friend, or someone important to you
• Pregnancy loss, miscarriage, or baby loss
• Infertility, fertility challenges, or involuntary childlessness
• The loss of a beloved pet
• Anticipatory grief when facing an expected loss
• Relationship loss, separation, or the end of an important relationship
• Traumatic loss and experiences where grief feels connected with shock or distress
• Significant life transitions and changes that have altered how life feels

Grief can arise from many different experiences, not only bereavement after a death. Whatever has brought you here, your experience matters and deserves to be acknowledged with compassion and understanding.

Counselling can provide a safe and compassionate space to explore your experience, make sense of your feelings and find ways to navigate life after loss.

How counselling can support you

There is no single way grief should look or feel.

Sessions are guided by what feels most important to you and by the ways your experience of loss is affecting your life. Together, we may explore:

• Making sense of your emotions and responses to loss
• Understanding how grief is affecting your everyday life
• Finding ways to cope when things feel overwhelming
• Adjusting to changes and life after loss
• Creating space for memories, reflection and finding meaning

About me

I offer a steady and supportive space where you can talk openly about your experiences without pressure or judgement.

My approach is gentle and responsive to what you bring. I understand that beginning counselling can feel like a significant step, especially when life already feels uncertain.

How online counselling works

I offer online grief counselling for adults across the UK, providing a confidential space to explore grief and loss wherever you are.

Sessions take place online via secure video call or by telephone, allowing you to access support from a place where you feel comfortable and at ease.

You can attend sessions from a private space of your choice, without the need to travel.

Appointments are usually weekly or fortnightly, depending on your needs and circumstances.

Starting counselling

Many people feel unsure before starting counselling, particularly if they have never had counselling before.

You do not need to prepare anything in advance, and you do not need to know exactly what to say.  We can begin with whatever feels most important to you, whether that is a recent experience, a memory, a feeling, or simply where things feel difficult right now.

If you have questions before getting started, you may find my Frequently Asked Questions page helpful. You can also explore my Help with grief page for further information and reflections on grief and loss.

You don’t have to navigate grief alone

Whether your loss is recent or something you have carried for many years, support is available when you feel ready to take the next step.

If you feel ready to take the next step, you are welcome to arrange a free 20-minute consultation. This is an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to counselling, ask any questions you may have, and see whether working together feels right for you.
