About Us Grief UK is dedicated to helping the greatest number of grievers in the shortest amount of time, supporting both individual grievers and training those who wish to help others. We would welcome the opportunity to support anyone experiencing loss and normalise conversations around grief. That is why we’re keen to work with the media. We are based just off the A1 in Cambridgeshire with easy road and transport links.
Experts
Our team love working with journalists around the world to provide comments from our qualified grief experts.
Carole Henderson, our main spokesperson, is the Managing Director and Senior Trainer at Grief UK. Carole was the first Grief Recovery trainer in the UK. Since 2010, she has trained hundreds of Specialists from over 30 different countries to help others move beyond loss. She has been featured in The Guardian, The Times Educational Supplement (TES), BBC Radio Two’s Jeremy Vine, local BBC radio stations, The Sun, and numerous other publications.
Carole’s got a different take on grief to most. Her approach is about feelings and emotions originating from the heart, not the head. Intellectual approaches to grief don’t work. She also dismisses the stages of grief, highlighting that grief isn’t a linear process.
Carole is always up early, so if you need someone at the last minute, she is always happy to help.
Real Life Stories
If you’re looking for exclusive real-life stories or case studies, we have access to a wealth of them through our network of Grief Recovery Specialists. We have appeared in many magazines, including Good Housekeeping, Prima, Stylist, Take A Break, and Bella, to name a few.
We can find you a spokesperson on pretty much any kind of loss (bereavement, divorce, pet loss, loss of health, loss of normal…).
