grief & Loss
Grief is one of the most human experiences there is — and one of the loneliest. Whether you're in the thick of a recent loss or carrying something quieter and longer, there's space here to sit with it without rushing. You don't have to be 'getting on with it' before you're ready.
Grief doesn't follow a timeline — and that's okay.
You don’t need to
explain yourself here.
-
You've lost someone and the world feels fundamentally different in a way that's hard to explain
-
Your loss isn't a death — it's a relationship, a role, a future — and you feel like you're not allowed to grieve it
-
Your loss isn't a death — it's a relationship, a role, a future — and you feel like you're not allowed to grieve it
-
You haven't really let yourself feel it yet, and part of you is afraid to
-
You've lost your pet and the world feels fundamentally different in a way that's hard to explain
-
Some days feel okay, then grief hits you out of nowhere and you feel back at the beginning
A place to grieve without a script.
Grief doesn't follow the neat stages we're often told about. It's circular, surprising, and deeply personal — and it can be for losses that aren't always recognised by others: a relationship that ended, a pregnancy, a job, a sense of who you were. Whatever you've lost, it deserves a space to be acknowledged.
In counselling, we'll move at whatever pace feels right for you. Some sessions are about speaking the loss out loud — often for the first time without worrying about how others are feeling. Others are about making sense of the wave-like nature of grief, and building the capacity to carry it without being overwhelmed by it.
Grief doesn't need to be 'resolved' — but it can be integrated. You can carry your loss and still live fully. That's what we work toward together.
Narrative Therapy
Honouring the story of what you've lost, and finding ways to hold it that allow you to move forward without leaving it behind.
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Grief often comes with guilt, regret, or self-blame. CFT brings kindness to those harder emotions.
Mindfulness-based approaches
Learning to sit with difficult feelings without being consumed by them — creating space between grief and despair.
Sessions that feel genuinely different.
-
No right way to grieve
There's no agenda in our sessions and no timeline. You won't be pushed through stages or told how you should be feeling. This is your grief, held at your pace.
-
Being witnessed
Sometimes the most important thing is simply having someone sit with you in it — without trying to fix it, reframe it, or move you past it before you're ready.
-
Your pace, always
There's no timeline to follow and no expectation of where you'll be by session three. We work at whatever pace feels right — and you're in the driver's seat throughout.
Whenever you're ready.
There's no right time — only your time.
Grief can make even small decisions feel heavy. The free 15-minute consultation is just a gentle first conversation — no commitment, no referral, and no pressure to have the words ready. Just reach out when it feels right.
