Bereavement counselling
The death of someone close can change everything: your routines, your plans, your sense of who you are.
Whether the death was expected or sudden, recent or many years ago, grief can feel overwhelming and deeply disorienting.
There is no right way to grieve and no fixed timeline. Some people feel intense sadness, anger or guilt. Others feel numb or disconnected. Grief often comes in waves, with calmer periods followed by sudden surges of emotion. Tiredness, changes in appetite and difficulty sleeping are common too.
People around you may expect you to move on before you are ready. Grief is not something to be fixed or hurried. It is a natural response to loss, and it deserves time and space.
How counselling can help
- A compassionate space to talk about the person who has died and what they meant to you
- Making sense of your grief without judgement
- Working through difficult feelings such as anger, guilt, regret or relief
- Support with anticipatory grief, when someone close to you is dying or seriously ill
- Space for losses from the past that still feel unresolved
- Adjusting to life after the loss, at your own pace
Grief does not need to be carried alone. Reaching out is a brave and important step.
Not all loss is bereavement, but all loss can bring grief.
