Online Grief Counselling
Grief isn't just about feeling sadness.
It can show up in so many ways:
Emotionally - feeling untethered, anxious about the future, guilty when you experience joy, numb and disconnected, or overwhelmed by waves of emotion that come from nowhere
In your relationships - struggling to let people in, fearing more loss, feeling isolated because your friends still have their parents, or finding it hard to talk about your grief without worrying you're "too much" or you "should be over it by now"
In your identity - questioning who you are without them, feeling like an orphan despite being grown up, losing your sense of direction, or struggling with big life decisions without their guidance
In your daily life - difficulty concentrating, exhaustion, changes in sleep or appetite, avoiding reminders of them, or feeling stuck and unable to move forward
My Approach
Maybe you've tried other kinds of support before and left feeling like your grief was treated as a problem to solve, or something to get over on a timeline that was never really yours. Or maybe you've never felt able to reach out for it at all - unsure if your grief "counts," or whether you're allowed to still be struggling with it.
However you've arrived here, I want this to feel different. I don't believe grief is something to fix, or move on from, or tidy into five neat stages. I believe grief deserves to be given space, not pushed away.
As a BACP-registered counsellor, I'm trained to hold the heavier, more tangled parts of grief safely - sudden or traumatic losses, grief that's been pushed down for years and is now surfacing as anxiety, exhaustion or anger, and the losses others don't think you should still be struggling with.
And I also know grief asks for more than talking alone. It lives in the body, and it asks to be honoured. Which is why my work brings together talking therapy, body-based practice and ritual, rather than any one of them on its own.
My own experience of losing both my parents sits underneath all of this. I hold that each of our experiences of grief is unique. So I'll never assume I know exactly what you're going through, or what you need. But there's an unspoken knowing that lived experience can bring - not having to explain or soften the hardest parts, because you're with someone who has been there too.
How we'll work together
I work with a person-centred approach, which simply means you're at the heart of everything we do. So much of this work is about building a relationship where you feel comfortable enough to share what's really on your mind and heart, including the things you might not feel able to say anywhere else. This is your space, and we'll always move at your pace.
Alongside this, we'll often make sense of your past, exploring the patterns, relationships and beliefs that shape how you experience your grief, and yourself, today.
And because grief doesn't only live in our thoughts - it settles in the chest, the stomach, the shoulders - we can explore breathwork and gentle somatic practices together. When you're feeling numb, anxious or overwhelmed, these can help ease the physical weight grief leaves you carrying, and bring you back to yourself.
I also weave in grief tending practices - ritual, reflection, and connection with nature and the more-than-human world - as a way of honouring your grief as something sacred, and staying connected to the person you've lost.
Together, we'll find what you need - whether that's space to process and reflect, practical tools for the difficult moments, ways to honour what you've lost, or simply someone to listen who gets it and won't rush you through your grief.
What client often begin to notice changing
Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and the aim of our work isn't to make it disappear. But over time in our work together clients often begin to notice:
-
The grief waves still come, but they don't floor them the way they used to, and the harder days and significant dates start to feel more doable.
-
They don't feel as exhausted and on edge as they used to
-
They can enjoy things again, and actually feel able to do so without feeling guilty
-
They begin to feel more at home in who they are now
-
They feel more connected to the person they've lost, without it always feeling painful to think of them
-
They don't feel so alone in their grief, more able to let others back in and talk about their grief without feeling like "too much"
And what I notice most is that when grief is given space and permission to be felt - rather than treated as something to 'fix' - people begin to feel less alone in it, and something in them can finally exhale.
If you recognise yourself in any of this and would like to feel these things too, you can book a free 15 minute consultation and we can chat more about how we might begin.
