Grief
Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults experiencing loss and grief in its many forms, including bereavement, the end of relationships, changes in health, identity, or life circumstances. Grief is not linear and often involves conflicting emotions, uncertainty, and shifts in how people understand themselves and the world around them.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore grief without imposing timelines or expectations. Rather than trying to resolve or move through grief, the focus is on understanding how loss is being held and lived with. Sessions may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Grief
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Grief feels insurmountable. Even the smallest task may require more emotional energy than the person has to complete the task. Grief affects every other area of a person's life. Grief treatment is primarily person centered. My job as a therapist is to allow my clients to cry or scream or say horrible things about the person they have lost because I won't judge you for anything you say or do. For most people no one else in their lives understands why they are still grieving. Grief and I are old friends. I don't expect you to grieve the same way I do or the same way anyone else does. I just offer you a space to be yourself and say the quiet thoughts out loud.

Grief
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Grief can be disorienting—like you’ve suddenly found yourself in a place you no longer recognize. Maybe you lost someone irreplaceable, or perhaps you’re mourning dreams, relationships, or pieces of your identity. Whatever your loss, Dr. Jenny Shields creates a compassionate space to help driven professionals explore their grief openly, without judgment or pressure to “move on.” Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), existential perspectives, and mindfulness-based approaches, Dr. Shields gently guides you toward making sense of what feels senseless, honoring what you’ve lost, and reconnecting to what still matters deeply in your life.
