Grief & loss counselling

A supportive space to make sense of loss and what has changed

Grief can affect us in many different ways. You may be grieving someone who has died, adjusting to a significant change, or finding that a loss from the past has resurfaced.

Sometimes grief is also for the life you knew, or the life you imagined you would have. Changes in relationships, health, family, identity, work or life circumstances can bring a sense of loss, even when there hasn’t been a bereavement.

There is no right way to grieve and no set timeline. Counselling can offer space to process what you’ve lost, make sense of what has changed and begin to find your way forward — without pressure to “move on.”

Grief isn’t just about death

Grief can follow many kinds of loss, change and transition.

You might be adjusting to:

  • the end or change of a relationship

  • starting or leaving university

  • a career change, redundancy or retirement

  • changes in health or ability

  • the loss of a role, identity or sense of belonging

  • moving home or leaving somewhere important to you

  • the loss of a pet

  • a future, opportunity or life you thought you were going to have

Even changes you've chosen or wanted can involve loss. One chapter beginning can mean another one ending.

Counselling can give you space to process what has changed, what you may be leaving behind and what this transition means for you.

Whatever the loss, you don't need to justify why it matters.

A webpage titled 'How counseling can help,' describing four ways counseling supports grief: make space for feelings, understand what has changed, adjust to life as it is now, and stay connected while moving forward.
