Trauma & Grief Counselling

Experiencing trauma or the loss of a loved one can shatter your sense of safety and leave you feeling isolated in your grief. This specialist counselling provides a gentle, respectful, and secure space to process painful memories and complex emotions. There is no right or wrong way to grieve or to respond to trauma, and I will support you at your own pace, without judgement or pressure.

My approach is trauma-informed, focusing on rebuilding your sense of safety and control. We will work together to honour your loss or process your traumatic experience, helping you to integrate it into your life story in a way that allows you to find meaning and move forward, not simply “move on.”

Frequently asked questions

(01) How long after a loss or trauma should I wait before seeking counselling?

There is no set time. Some people benefit from immediate support, while others may not feel ready for months or even years. Therapy can be helpful whenever you feel the need for support in processing your experience.

(02) Will talking about it make me feel worse?

It is common to feel emotionally raw after a session as we bring difficult material to the surface. However, we will always work at a pace you can manage, and the long-term goal is to reduce the pain and power these memories hold by processing them in a safe, contained way.

(03) What does "trauma-informed" mean?

It means I work in a way that prioritises your emotional and psychological safety, choice, and control. I understand the widespread impact of trauma and avoid any techniques that could be re-traumatising.

(04) Can you help with complex grief?

Yes. Complex or prolonged grief is when the pain of loss remains intense and debilitating for a long time. Therapy can help you work through the complications that are preventing your grief from evolving, allowing you to find a way to live with your loss.

(05) I didn't lose a person, but I'm grieving a life change (e.g., divorce, diagnosis). Can you help?

Absolutely. Any significant loss—of a relationship, your health, a job, or a future you had planned—can trigger a profound grief response. This therapy is for processing all forms of loss.
