How I can help you
I have had numerous losses in my lifetime some I have acknowledged others I dismissed as insignificant because of the myths and cultural belief system that I grew up around.
As I have become more self-aware, I realise that the losses we experience through our lives have a significant impact on us as adults. So, I went through the program to address those losses and during that time realised how much had impacted on my life journey, relationships and communications with others. The program worked for me and now I can acknowledge loss and use the tools I have learnt to process and heal.
I learnt that every loss is unique, but the grieving process differed based on the relationship you had with that person. I have also learnt that grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss of any kind. I have also acknowledged complex grief and the stories we tell ourselves as to why we need to grieve in a certain way based on cultural expectations.
I have personal experience of the Grief Recovery Method; how it helped me and how it can help you. Please call me if you want to find out more about the program or for an informal chat.
I am based in Mitcham, Surrey.
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
Miscarriage
Infertility
Abusive or absent parent
Loss of safety due to trauma
Death of a pet
Retirement, empty nest
Loss of health
Loss of finances
Loss of faith
Relocation
Loss of career
Addiction
Loss of identity
Evidence Based
The Grief Recovery Method is the only evidence-based grief programme in the world. Research published in peer-reviewed journals has shown that it makes a measurable, positive difference in people's grief journey.

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.
