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
Jill Deacon
Counsellor/Therapist, BSc and FdSc Person Centred Counselling. MBACP
We can sometimes feel overwhelmed by grief, by the loss of a loved one, relationship breakdown, loss of a beloved pet, ours or others' poor health, jobs and careers or financial security amongst other things. This can present as anger and shock, guilt, disbelief and deep sadness. These emotions can affect our physical health such as poor sleep, lack of appitite and our mental health such as depression. These are normal emotions and part of greiving and there is no one way to experience it or indeed a definitive time. Loss can be experienced for weeks or years.
Counselling can help you explore these feelings, understand them and work though them helping you acknowledge and accept the process you are going throught in a safe and gentle way.

Grief
Benjamin Marr
Counsellor/Therapist, BA MA Relational Psychotherapist/ Birkbeck College - Psychodynamic Counsellor
There have been instances when clients have brought their grief to therapy that was causing them major pain and in such instances, these emotions can morph into quite overwhelming situations. The supportive and safe environment my relational psychotherapy practice offers can be effective in reducing such unrelenting feelings. With the correct sort of professional therapy available in my private practice and given the right amount of time, my clients recover from their specific feelings of loss and successfully adjusted to their next phase of life.
Naturally, each client’s experience with grief is equally unique and complex, as well as being personal. Grief may cover such aspects as the demise of a loved one or friend, or it could involve a life changing circumstance, such as a relational break-up, or even a job loss. The client’s culture, personality and past life-experiences may all affect their particular grieving process.
With my relational psychotherapy, I do my utmost to tailor each therapy programme to specifically meet each client’s particular needs. In many instances, one useful aim of my therapy service is to contribute to the maintenance and enhancement of healthy connections with client’s circle of family and friends. Equally, many clients may find catharsis while talking about both their current and lost loved ones. Reflection on positive memories may strengthen client’s bond with the lost person.
This reaffirmation of the client’s bond may effectively reduce any possible “sting” from the loss felt. That said, every effort is taken by me to balance all attachments within therapy. In complicated grief, a client may feel hopeless and desire to join the lost loved one.
Another common goal with my relational psychotherapy is to facilitate the listening process. There are occasions when society may stigmatize the client for grieving in a certain way. However, my therapy approach is to assist the client to express their feelings without any form of judgment.

Dr Grenville Major
Therapist, MBchB, MRCpsych, MSc psychological therapies
Grief is probably the most painful emotional experience we have as humans. Assuming we live long enough we all come to experience the pain of loss. At times it can feel like its just too much to bear. Getting past grief is something a therapist can help you with. I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.

Beth Jackson Counselling and Coaching
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (hons), Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
As an area I specialise in I know the pain and range of emotions that may be felt. I have worked with grief charities and have a wide experience in this area. Discussing grief or loss with others close to you can be difficult and there is often the expectation that you should be ready to move on with your life. This can feel alienating. I provide a safe and non-judgemental space for us to work through your grief or loss in your timing and in your way.

Donna Collins

Grief can be incredibly intense and overwhelming. It can bring feelings of being completely lost, confusion and loneliness. It is within grief that we can feel we are in crisis and feel very uncertain and afraid of the future. I am able to provide deeply supportive assistance at this crucial time when you may be experiencing such loss.

Grief and Loss can bring up so many responses. Among them are Anger, Denial, Sadness, Numbness, Confusion, Anxiety and Panic. Everyone responds in their own unique way. There are often many practical issues to be dealt with, while still caught up in the initial shock. My intention is to help you find practical support and emotional nourishment, as you find your way through whatever is coming up for you.

Ruth Mark-Roland Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Post Grad Diploma in Psychotherapy, Foundation and Diploma in Group Analysis
Grief can take many forms — from the death of a loved one to losses that are less visible, such as the end of a relationship, changes in health, or unmet life hopes. I offer a supportive and reflective space to process grief in its many expressions. My approach draws on psychoanalytic and relational therapy, with attention to both conscious and unconscious responses to loss. Together, we can explore the complexity of your experience at a pace that feels right, honouring what has been lost while gently supporting the possibility of moving forward.

Anjali P.
Registered Psychotherapist, MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling, Registered Member MBACP- 408062
Grief is a deeply personal experience that does not follow a predictable path. Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a future you had imagined, or another significant life change, therapy can provide a space to process your emotions at your own pace. My experience includes supporting individuals bereaved by suicide as well as those navigating other forms of loss and grief.

London's scale, pace, and cost of living create a high-pressure environment where therapists are in strong demand for burnout, anxiety, work-life imbalance, and the social isolation that can accompany life in a global megacity. The city's extraordinary diversity means therapists with cross-cultural competence and multilingual capability are particularly sought after, especially for communities navigating immigration stress, identity, and belonging. The NHS offers mental health services through its NHS Talking Therapies programme (formerly IAPT), though many Londoners seek private therapy for greater continuity of care and therapist choice. London's therapy community is one of the largest and most professionally diverse in the world, with practitioners trained across psychodynamic, CBT, integrative, and humanistic traditions.
