Whether you're feeling anxious, going through a stressful situation or finding it hard to manage your mental health. You may be overwhelmed with life changes or troubled by past trauma. You are the expert on your life. I can help you work through the impact of these difficulties.
Grief can be overwhelming, however you are not alone. Death is a natural part of life, although nothing can prepare us for it. I can support you through your grief and help you begin to process your loss.
Counselling For Children & Young People
Children have feelings too! Although sometimes they do not know how to express them effectively. Counselling can help them begin to identify and work through difficult emotions. We might use play and art to facilitate their process.
Death is a natural part of the lived experience. However, that said, living with loss is not easy. Having worked with a national cancer charity, and bereavement support charity and in hospice care. I have directly supported individuals and families when a loved one has been palliative care. Then I have continued supporting families and individuals in their time of mourning and into those first few months. I have suffered my own close personal lossess, most recently my brother who died in 2019. Living with loss changes us, there is no doubt. Grief can be a very lonely road and being supported by others while we travel this road can be helpful.
GriefSpeaks is born out of my desire to provide support for bereaved people in their local community. Accessible and free to the indivdual.
