Bereavement Services

Coaching for traumatic bereavement

When we lose someone or something important to us, the grieving process can be quite a rollercoaster. Other people may assume that they know what we are experiencing and may offer advice which feels inappropriate. Others simply don't know what to say and avoid asking how you are or offering support. 

There is no set pattern to how we grieve, but we do experience a huge range of emotions including denial, anger, guilt and depression. When these emotions are overwhelming it can be tempting to try to escape from them, push them away or bury them. But suppressed emotions do not go away - they just go into hiding, often in the body causing pain and other physical problems.  
Resilient Hearts: Unleashing Growth After Loss
A 1-to-1 Coaching Programme

This programme is designed for people experiencing complicated grief. During three to six months of weekly sessions we connect you with the resources you need in order to get free of the pain of your bereavement.  
My own bereavements have taught me that while grief is a very personal experience, there is always a role for support from someone who makes no assumptions and is willing to listen non-judgementally. I see my role as a coach as being rather like a bereavement doula, walking the path with you, lighting the way, and guiding you so that you don't fall from the precipice.

My own experience includes the loss of my belioved grandmother when I was six years old, being sent to boarding school at the age of 20, bereavement by suicide, the loss of my parents and the end of my marriage. I am therefore particularly well-placed to coach you if you have experienced any of these losses.

In November 2021 to mark the 44th anniversary of the death by suicide of my first boyfriend, I set up the Suicide Survivors Hub. The idea behind the Hub is to provide support to anyone bereaved by suicide.

If you are suffering from a grief that simply isn't resolving or if it is a more recent bereavement and you would like some support as you walk the path, please do get in touch. You can book a discovery call so that you can tell me your story and we can start to explore whether coaching is the right choice for you at the moment. Or visit the Hub page for details of other services.
