Grief Counselling and Bereavement Support, (Online, UK)
Compassionate support for grief, pet loss, sudden death, and complicated bereavement, available online across the UK and in-person in Hampton Hill.
Grief affects everyone differently. Whether you're trying to come to terms with the death of someone significant in your life, the loss of a pet, or you're feeling overwhelmed by complex emotions after a sudden or traumatic death, you don’t have to face it alone.
Understanding Grief:
It Doesn’t Follow the Rules
Grief is a deeply personal experience. It can affect your emotions, your body, and your everyday life. It doesn’t follow a neat timeline and it rarely feels how we expect.
This is especially true after:
You may be grieving someone you had a painful or complicated connection to. You may also be wrestling with emotions like sadness, guilt, anger, or even relief, none of them easy to name or place. These responses are more common than people realise and they’re valid.
How Grief Counselling Can Help
Counselling isn’t about “moving on.”
It’s about learning to live with your grief in a way that feels manageable and meaningful.
Together, we can:
Honour what this loss means to you
Make space for a full range of emotions
Understand how grief is affecting your mind, body and daily life
Build coping strategies rooted in your experience and shaped by what feels right for you
Use creative or non-verbal approaches if talking feels too much
Grief Support for Young People (13+)
Grief can affect you in ways that aren’t always obvious. You might feel angry, disconnected, overwhelmed, numb, restless, or like you’ve had to grow up too quickly. You may find yourself trying to hold everything together for other people, looking after younger siblings, or feeling pressure to “be strong” when you’re struggling yourself. You might also notice grief showing up through risk-taking, shutting down emotionally, difficulties at school or college, or feeling unlike yourself.
I offer online grief counselling for young people aged 13 and over in a calm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can simply be yourself. There’s no pressure to talk about your grief before you’re ready, and sessions don’t have to look or feel a certain way. We might talk about what’s happened, focus on what life feels like now, listen to music, use games or creative activities, or simply spend time together without needing to explain everything in words.
Support for Parents of Younger Grieving Children
When a younger child is grieving, it can be hard to know what they need, especially when you may be grieving too. Some children become more anxious or clingy, struggle with sleep, return to behaviours they had previously grown out of, or find it difficult to express what they’re feeling. Others may seem deeply upset one moment and happily absorbed in play or time with friends the next. Young children often move in and out of grief in this way, which can sometimes leave parents unsure how they’re really coping.
For children and families, grief can also sit alongside other important life changes such as moving from primary to secondary school, changes in friendships, or friends moving away. These transitions can feel like losses in their own right, and can intensify feelings of grief after a bereavement, or make an existing loss feel even harder to manage.
As a parent or carer, you may feel pressure to stay strong, hide your own emotions, or hold everything together for everyone else. Sometimes children begin hiding their feelings too, especially when they sense the adults around them are hurting.
While I work directly with young people aged 13 and over, I also offer supportive sessions for parents and carers of younger bereaved children. These sessions can provide space to think together about how grief affects children, how to talk about death in ways they can understand, and how to support both your child and yourself through an emotionally difficult time.
Pet Loss Counselling & Animal Grief Support
Some of the most intense grief can come from losing a pet, yet it’s often dismissed or misunderstood. Whether it’s the death of a much-loved companion, the need to rehome, or the loss of a working partner such as a guide dog or therapy animal, this grief is real and it deserves to be acknowledged.
As someone who has grown up with animals and volunteered with the Blue Cross Pet Loss Support line, I understand how deep this loss can go and how hard it can be to find a therapist who truly appreciates that bond.
I offer specialist support for:
Bereavement Support for Baby Loss and Miscarriage
Pregnancy and baby loss can be physically and emotionally overwhelming, whether through miscarriage, stillbirth or the death of a baby in early life. It’s a form of grief often unseen by others, yet deeply felt.
It affects both partners, even if they experience it in different ways. Whether your loss was recent or long ago, your grief matters and you deserve support to honour your experience, whatever your role in it.
Help with Sudden Death, Suicide Bereavement, and Complex Loss
Grieving someone who died suddenly, or in painful or complex circumstances, can leave you feeling disorientated and alone. If you’ve lost someone to suicide or substance use, you may carry difficult questions or conflicting emotions, often hard to put into words.
