Grief and Bereavement Counselling
Losing someone you love is one of the hardest things a person can go through. There is no right way to grieve and no fixed timeline. The therapists listed below have specific experience supporting people through bereavement and loss.
Grief is not just sadness. It can show up as exhaustion, numbness, irritability, sleeplessness, guilt, even relief. All of these are normal, and a therapist will not be surprised by any of them.
Some people benefit most from a short course of bereavement counselling in the weeks or months after a loss. Others find grief surfaces years later, often around an anniversary or a milestone. Both are valid reasons to seek support.
If your grief is complicated by trauma, by a difficult relationship with the person who died, or by the way they died, look for a therapist who has experience with complicated grief.
Approaches that tend to help
- Person-centred
- Integrative
- Psychodynamic
- Compassion-focused therapy

This is a guide, not a prescription. The right approach for you depends on your situation and on the relationship you build with your therapist.
