Let's Talk About It - Bereavement Counselling

Hello, my name is Sally. I am a Bereavement Counsellor.

I have been providing Bereavement Counselling (often called Grief Counselling) for more than 15 years. I am also qualified to assist you with Pet Bereavement.

I focussed on Bereavement and Grief because they are complicated subjects requiring a great deal of knowledge. For this I am unlike most other counsellors who are prepared to help you with anything. I offer you in-depth knowledge and experience of this subject.

Frequently Bereavement uncovers other issues that you may have such as Anxiety, Depression, Low self-esteem and Stress. I will be able to help you with these too.

I offer a complimentary session so that we can understand each other and feel that we can work together. This is important for both of us, for you to understand me and the way I work. For me to understand you and the issues you have.  Following this we will set up regular sessions, usually once a week for the first few weeks. Once you start improve, we will make the sessions every 2 or 3 weeks until you feel ok.

I will guide you through the 5 stages of grief. These being: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. You may not go through each stage. You may not go through the stages in sequential order. The way I see grief is that is a large jumble of emotions, you are trying to come to terms with the loss while your mind is a muddle. I will help you understand those emotions and how they fit together.
