How I can help you
Hi, I’m Caz Hawley, an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist based in West London, and I work face to face across London as well as online across the UK and internationally.
Grief is a neglected and misunderstood emotion; it is the normal and natural reaction to loss of any kind, and is unique to each of us. Grief is the conflicting feelings caused by the end of or change in a familiar pattern of behaviour and incomplete grief exists within most of us.
It wasn't until I worked through the pain of various losses I have experienced that I realised how much I was still carrying around with me. I had been expecting the passage of time to simply take care of all these conflicting feelings...but in fact what was happening was that they were being pushed further and further down, and being buried by the busyness of life and other activities, and hadn't actually been addressed properly.
Loss takes many forms and isn't always connected to bereavement, it can also include job loss, loss of trust, relationships, loss of childhood, finances, divorce, pet loss, and many other examples.
We are not taught how to grieve in the same way we are taught other life skills, and this programme provides space and time to be truly heard within a confidential and supportive environment. By working through the Grief Recovery Method, you will be able to take actions to ease the pain and heal your heart, making room to enjoy more of life.

Over 40+ life losses can leave us feeling bereft
When we think of bereavement, we usually think of the death of a loved one. Most people looking for bereavement counselling or a grief coach only feel entitled to do so if someone close to them has died.
However there are over 40 different personal losses that can leave us feeling devastated, heartbroken, lost, hopeless and ultimately cause the same emotional and physical symptoms of grief.
The Grief Recovery Method is unique in that it is applicable to any and all kinds of loss. Each Certified Grief Recovery Specialist has been trained to guide grievers without judgement, criticism or analysis. We do not compare losses and we know that every griever is unique.
Not only can the action steps within the Grief Recovery Method be applied to any type of loss, they can be used again and again with any future losses that occur - once you have participated in a Programme, you will have all the tools you need to cope with loss later in life.
Death of a loved one
Divorce, separation, breakup
Estrangement of family members

Infertility

Helping Children with Loss
In addition to Grief Recovery Method programmes for grievers, I also offer courses for adults - parents, teachers and professionals - who would like to be better equipped to help the children in their care cope with losses of any kind.
The ACEs-informed Helping Children with Loss programme uses the same principles of the evidence-based Grief Recovery Method but adapts them for use with children of all ages and ability level.
