Loss or 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.

V C Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, MBACP
I believe loss and grief are powerful and unavoidable experiences, but you don't have to go through them alone. It can be a very overwhelming and isolating place to be in life. I can be here to help you work through the painful process of grief and loss without feeling as if you're losing yourself.

Abi Jude
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP Member
Loss and Grief can effect us in varied ways. Sometimes it can reach back to earlier memories or experiences and sometimes it is clearly an event such as death of a loved one, the end of a relationship or separation. We can feel stuck, depressed, frozen or manic. I will work with you to identify your feelings and experience and find a way to move forward.

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.
