Grief support sessions
If you are experiencing grief, bereavement, or loss, you do not have to navigate it alone.
These sessions offer a calm, supportive space where you can explore your experience at your own pace and in your own way.
Grief counselling and bereavement support
Grief can affect every part of life, often in ways that feel unexpected, confusing, or difficult to put into words. You may be coping with the death of someone important to you, pregnancy loss, pet loss, or another significant change that has left life feeling unfamiliar.
Whatever your experience, counselling offers space to slow down and gently explore what you are carrying, without pressure or expectation.
What grief counselling may involve
Grief counselling sessions are shaped around what feels most important for you to bring at the time.
Together, we may explore:
- the emotional impact of your loss
- changes in identity, relationships, or daily life
- feelings such as sadness, anger, guilt, anxiety, or numbness
- the impact of grief on sleep, concentration, or motivation
- coping with anniversaries, reminders, or ongoing uncertainty
Some sessions may involve talking in depth about your loss, while others may focus more on reflection, emotional processing, or simply having space to be heard and supported.
How sessions work
There is no expectation to approach grief in a certain way or to have the right words before starting.
You may come with a lot you want to talk about, or you may feel unsure, overwhelmed, or emotionally numb. All of this is welcome.
Sessions are guided by what feels manageable for you, and we move at a pace that respects where you are in your grief.
Online and telephone sessions
All sessions take place online or by telephone, allowing you to access support from a place where you feel comfortable, private, and at ease.
This can make it easier to receive support in a way that fits around your life and energy levels.
Common questions
Do I need to have everything figured out before starting grief counselling?
No. Many people begin feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to start. You do not need to prepare anything in advance.
How do I know if grief counselling is right for me?
If your loss is affecting how you feel, cope, or function day to day, counselling can offer space and support to explore that experience.
What should I expect during my first session?
The first session is a gentle introduction where we talk about what has brought you to counselling and what you might hope for from support.
Is it normal for grief to feel worse before it feels better?
Yes. Grief often comes in waves, and sometimes becoming more aware of your emotions can feel intense at first. This is a normal part of the process, and support is here to help you move through it safely.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies for each person. Some people find short-term support helpful, while others prefer longer-term sessions.
