Grief, Loss & Change
Do you find yourself struggling with:
☑︎ Feeling disoriented, angry, or unsure how to move forward after a recent or past loss?
☑︎ Waves of grief, sadness, or anxiety following a death, or a non-death loss that still hurts deeply?
☑︎ Losing a parent, sibling, or child — and wondering who you are now that they’re no longer here?
☑︎ A lingering sense of sadness or heaviness after a life transition – even if it was expected or “supposed to be” positive?
☑︎ Supporting someone else through illness, change, or loss – while quietly needing space to be held, too?
☑︎ Grief that feels invisible or unacknowledged by others (sometimes called disenfranchised grief)?
☑︎ Changes to your life or identity that are hard to adjust to – or stirring up emotions you can’t quite name?
☑︎ Mourning a hope, dream, or version of life that didn’t come to be?
Grief doesn’t only follow death. It can show up after any significant change – things like the end of a relationship, moving away from home, a shift in identity, becoming a parent, changing career, or facing infertility. There are countless losses we carry quietly, even when others don’t recognise them as grief.
Navigating grief can feel overwhelming, messy, and isolating. You might hear “time heals” – but time alone isn’t always enough. Without space to process what’s happened, we can feel stuck in survival mode – going through the motions while life moves on around us.
Therapy offers a place to make sense of your experience – emotionally, physically, and relationally. Together, we can gently explore what grief has stirred up for you, and begin to understand how it’s affecting your body, mind, and sense of self. With this awareness, you can start making choices that feel more aligned, grounded, and compassionate.
I know how consuming grief can be – the confusion, the disconnection, the rage, the longing, the silence. My own lived experience is part of what brings so much care and presence to my work. I don’t believe we “move on” from loss – but I do believe we can move with it, and find ways to live alongside it with more meaning, connection, and self-trust.
It’s a huge privilege to walk alongside people as they reclaim their lives, step out of the shadows of their pain, and slowly begin to feel like themselves again – or maybe for the first time.
Young Adult (18-30) Bereavement
If you’ve experienced a significant loss in your late teens, twenties or early thirties – or are grieving something from earlier in life that’s only now catching up with you – you might find yourself navigating grief alongside all the usual pressures of young adulthood.
This stage of life can already feel full of uncertainty, comparison, and change. We’re often looking sideways – at peers, friends, social media – for clues about where we “should” be. Grief can disrupt that sense of belonging. You might feel out of step with others your age, unsure how to relate, or like you’ve lost both what was and what could have been.
You may be grieving not only a person, but also the version of life you imagined before this loss – and that can feel incredibly isolating.
In our work together, I bring personal understanding, clinical experience, and specialist research into how grief shows up during this stage of life. You’ll have space to make sense of what you’re feeling – in your body, mind and relationships – and to begin healing in a way that honours your experience, without pressure to “move on” or fit anyone else’s timeline.
