Grief
Heather Macfarlane
Registered Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
Grief is a normal human reaction to loss of any kind. It is an essential, but uncomfortable, process that we must go through in order to move forward. Moving forward can be scary though and the process of grief itself is a lonely place. I can offer you a comforting, supportive space to work through those emotions.

Losses and bereavement are a part of all our lives. Coming to terms with these experiences can feel painful and even overwhelming. Therapy can offer a valuable space to reflect on these experiences.

Grief
Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Losing someone or something meaningful can change your world in ways you never anticipated. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a significant family change, or a future you once imagined, loss can bring a complicated mixture of sadness, anger, guilt, loneliness, and uncertainty. Some days, you may feel overwhelmed by your emotions; other days, you might feel numb or disconnected. There is no single right way to grieve, and you shouldn't have to navigate these experiences alone.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling for adolescents and adults experiencing grief, bereavement, and significant personal loss. My person-centred, trauma-informed approach provides a supportive environment where you can express difficult emotions, share meaningful memories, and explore your experiences without judgment or pressure to move forward before you're ready.
I understand that grief is deeply connected to our relationships, cultural identities, family traditions, and personal beliefs. In some families and communities, expectations around expressing emotions, maintaining strength, or honouring loved ones can make the grieving process particularly complex. My culturally responsive approach creates space to acknowledge these influences while respecting your individual experience of loss.
Together, we can explore ways to cope with painful emotions, navigate changing relationships and responsibilities, strengthen your support systems, and gradually rediscover moments of connection and meaning. Counselling isn't about forgetting someone you love or erasing what you've experienced. It's about finding ways to carry your experiences while continuing to care for yourself and live meaningfully.
Whether your loss happened recently or you've been carrying grief for many years, your feelings deserve compassion and understanding. I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would be honoured to provide a supportive space where you can process your grief, honour what matters to you, and move forward in your own way and at your own pace.

Vicky Mould
Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited Professional Registrant (PNCPS Acc.)
Experiencing loss through bereavement can be devastating - it may be the most painful experience you go through. And the grief that follows can catch you off-guard and be intense and overwhelming at times. But I can be there for you. I can offer a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can explore your loss, express your grief, and find your sense of coping. You're welcome to get in touch with any questions or to book a consultation to explore if I'm the right counsellor for you.
