Grief
Mariana Amat
Psychologist
Grief takes many forms — from losing a loved one to facing unexpected life changes. I offer a gentle, reflective space to process these experiences, honoring both pain and resilience. The goal is not to “move on” but to integrate loss into life in a way that allows for meaning, connection, and growth.

Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
Grief and loss can be traumatic and result in intense feelings. It helps to talk to a counsellor who can validate our loss and help us to work through our painful feelings. Grief counselling helps us to explore our emotions in a safe, supportive environment so that we can learn to cope with our feelings more easily and find ways to move forward in life. The benefits from receiving grief counselling are extensive and include reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety and an increased sense of peace after the death of someone close.

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.

Nicholas Millet
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapy (UKCP trainee), BACP (Individual Member)
Grief rarely moves in neat stages; it can feel messy, disorienting, and profoundly lonely. Whether you are mourning a person, a relationship, or a missed life chapter, therapy offers a patient space where your loss is fully honoured. We won’t rush to "fix" your grief, but work together to help you carry it alongside life again.

Kajal Sohal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP-C
Grief can change the way you experience the world. Whether you've lost someone you love, experienced the end of an important relationship, or are mourning a life that looks different from what you imagined, loss can bring overwhelming sadness, loneliness, guilt, anger, or even numbness. You may feel pressure to move forward before you're ready, or struggle to find people who truly understand what you're going through.
I offer a compassionate, culturally sensitive space where your grief can be acknowledged without judgment, expectations, or pressure to heal on someone else's timeline. Drawing from person-centred and narrative approaches, I work alongside you to explore the meaning of your loss, honour the relationships and experiences that matter to you, and gently navigate the emotions that arise.
I recognize that grief is deeply personal and can be shaped by family relationships, cultural traditions, spiritual beliefs, and individual experiences. Whether your loss is recent or something you've carried for years, we can explore ways to cope with difficult emotions, reconnect with sources of support, and gradually find meaning in life alongside your grief.
You don't have to forget, move on, or have all the answers to begin healing. I offer affordable counselling in English and Punjabi and would be honoured to provide a supportive space where you can share your story, feel understood, and move forward at your own pace.
