Bereavement Counselling
Compassionate Support Through Your Journey of Loss
Your Mental Health is My Priority
Losing someone you love is one of life’s most challenging experiences. Whether you’re grieving the death of a spouse, parent, child, sibling, or beloved pet, the emotions that follow can feel overwhelming and confusing. As a specialist bereavement counsellor with many years of dedicated experience, I understand the unique nature of grief and am here to guide you through this difficult time.
Why Choose Sally for Bereavement Counselling
My specialisation in bereavement counselling isn’t just professional—it’s personal. I have devoted many years of my career to understanding the complexities of grief and loss, developing the skills and empathy needed to support people through their darkest moments. Here’s what sets my practice apart:
Deep Specialisation: Bereavement counselling is my primary focus and area of expertise. This isn’t just one service among many—it’s what I do best.
Extensive Experience: Having worked with countless individuals through their grief journey, I understand the many aspects of loss and the unique ways people experience bereavement.
Qualified Expertise: I hold specialised qualifications in bereavement counselling, including pet bereavement, ensuring I can provide the most appropriate support for your specific situation.
Empathetic Understanding: I recognise that grief doesn’t follow a timeline or pattern. There’s no “right” way to grieve, and I meet you exactly where you are in your journey.
Personal Bereavement
Whether expected or sudden, the death of someone close to us can trigger a complex mix of emotions:
- Overwhelming sadness and emptiness
- Anger at the situation or even at the deceased
- Guilt about things left unsaid or undone
- Regret about missed opportunities to say goodbye
- Resentment about being left behind
- Deep loneliness and isolation
Pet Bereavement
The bond we share with our animal companions is profound and meaningful. Pets provide unconditional love, companionship, and comfort that can be irreplaceable. When they die, the grief can be just as intense as losing a human family member. As someone qualified specifically in pet bereavement counselling, I understand and validate this unique type of loss.
I aim to change your life
I am used to people crying – it is natural when discussing bereavement. My aim is to help you understand more about what is happening to you.
This is likely to involve the Stages of Grief. Many people say the stages happen in a sequence. I am not one of those. Your life is probably a jumble and the stages can happen in any order. I will point them out to you and relate them to you.
My aim is to give you space and understanding, for you to come to terms with your loss.
