Online Counselling for Bereavement, Grief & Loss
Grief extends beyond death and can follow any significant loss or life change. This might include the end of a relationship, family estrangement, moving home, shifts in identity, career changes, fertility struggles, or other losses that often go unrecognised.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disoriented, or unsure how to move forward, we can work together to make sense of what’s happening — whether grief is the main focus of your work, or one part of a wider picture.
Many of the people I work with notice some of the following:
☑︎ 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 non-death loss.
☑︎ Losing a parent, sibling, or child — and wondering who you are now.
☑︎ Lingering sadness or heaviness after a life transition, even if it was expected or “positive.”
☑︎ Mourning a hope, dream, or version of life that didn’t come to be.
Common experiences of grief
☑︎ Supporting someone else through illness, change, or loss — while quietly needing space to be held.
☑︎ Experiencing 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 that are difficult to name.
Grief asks a great deal of us. Therapy is a place where nothing about your experience needs to be minimised or explained away — where the pain can be acknowledged, and where we gently begin to find a way forward that honours both your loss and your life. You don’t need a diagnosis, timeline, or “reason” for your grief to be valid. Whether your loss is recent or long past, named or unnamed, visible or private, it deserves space and care.
How I support adults through bereavement, grief & loss
This is not something you have to navigate or make sense of on your own. In our work together, we:
☑︎ Understand the impact of grief on your mind, body, and relationships.
☑︎ Explore how past experiences shape your responses to loss.
☑︎ Gently work with the intense emotions, confusion, and disconnection.
☑︎ Begin to find ways to live alongside loss while reconnecting with meaning, connection, and self-trust.
Many of the people I work with tell me they worry they’re grieving “wrong” — but there is no “right way”. You also don’t have to be falling apart to seek support — many people reach out simply because they’re tired of carrying it alone.
I bring warmth, curiosity, and clinical expertise to our sessions — alongside my own lived experience of grief, which informs the care and presence I offer. I don’t believe we “move on” from loss, but we can learn to move with and live alongside it.
If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the many shapes grief can take — including the ones that are rarely spoken about — you’re welcome to get in touch.
Bereavement, Grief & Loss in your 20s and 30s
Experiencing loss earlier in adult life can feel especially disorienting — as though the world expects you to keep building a future while something inside has fundamentally shifted.
I have a particular understanding of the complexities that can accompany grief at this stage of life — you can find out more about my work in this area here.
Bereavement, Grief & Loss: Common Questions
-
Grief doesn’t just live in our thoughts or emotions. It often shows up as exhaustion, tension, numbness, irritability, anxiety, or a sense that you’re not quite yourself anymore.
Through online therapy, we create space to slow down and sit alongside your grief, rather than trying to manage it, explain it away, or hold it together for others. In our work, we can explore how your loss has affected you — in your body, your relationships, and your sense of who you are now — and find ways to live with that reality without feeling overwhelmed.
There’s no pressure to “process” anything quickly or to feel a certain way. We move at a pace that feels respectful of your individual process.
-
I don’t treat grief as something to be talked through logically or resolved with insight alone.
Alongside making sense of your experience, we pay attention to how grief is held physically — through tightness, shutdown, restlessness, fatigue, or feeling on edge. Often, people have learned to cope by pushing feelings down or staying busy, and grief finds ways to surface anyway.
Our work can focus on noticing what happens in your body, where things feel stuck or heavy, and gently allowing space for what hasn’t yet had room.

Yes — and this is something I see often.
Grief follows many kinds of loss: relationship endings, family estrangement, fertility struggles, changes in identity or health, or the loss of a future you once expected. These experiences can be deeply painful, especially when others don’t recognise them as “real” losses.
In our work together, these forms of grief don’t need to be minimised, justified, or compared. Your experience matters, even if it has been misunderstood or dismissed by others.
-
Yes. Many people come to therapy years after a loss, often saying, “I thought I was over this.”
Sometimes grief resurfaces when life slows down, when something changes, or when you finally have enough safety to feel what wasn’t possible at the time. You might notice old patterns, emotions, or questions appearing that don’t seem to make sense on the surface.
I can support you to gently turn towards what’s still there — without forcing anything — and to understand how the loss may still be shaping your life now.
