Grief
Well on the Way
Therapist, Psychotherapy & Ecotherapy, Systemic & Family Constellations, Touch for Health Kinesiology.
Loss and Grief are part and parcel of the human condition, personal and collective. However, when they come knocking our plans and expectations of a ‘normal’ life can go out of the window. How can we learn to be with this difficult guest? Francis Weller writes: “Grief is more than an emotion; it is also a faculty of being human. It is a skill that must be developed, or we will find ourselves migrating to the margins of our lives in hopes of avoiding the inevitable entanglements with loss. It is through the rites of grief that we are ripened as human beings. Grief invites gravity and depth into our world. We possess the profound capacity to metabolize sorrow into something medicinal for our soul and the soul of the community”. This requires that we are acknowledged and held, just as we hold and acknowledge those who we have lost.

Anna Brooker
Therapist, Advanced Level 3 BWRT Therapist, Award Winning Women's Health Coach, Life Coach
Loss or grief can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed by waves of sadness, guilt or anxiety that don't seem to ease with time. Grief is a natural response to loss, and the aim is never to erase your memories or the love behind them. Instead, I've completed specialist BWRT® training in grief, which helps ease the automatic reactions that can keep you trapped in the most painful moments. That can make it possible to remember the person with more peace and less distress. I offer a gentle, confidential space to work through loss at your own pace. I offer a free 15-minute consultation. Send me a message using the enquiry form and I'll get back to you.

Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Adult and Adolescent Counsellor Cert, PgDip, MBACP Accredited
I work with those going through issues related to loss and grief. This can include death, but also loss more generally, whether this is the end of a relationship, job, or chapter of life. Transitions and choices often bring up thoughts and feelings that need some space to be tended to.

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.
