Griefscope sessions – finding your way after loss

These grief therapy sessions are designed to support you to understand and find ways to be with the impact that a death or other loss has had on you, as you continue to live your life. 

My approach to grief therapy is grounded in personal lived experience, training, years of professional work and on-going research. I work with grief from the perspective of personal meaning-making, in which an important part of grieving is about understanding what the person or loss meant to us and how this shaped our sense of identity and being in the world. This understanding can support us to be with our loss, while continuing to move through life and relate to others.

Grief can be a profoundly isolating and lonely experience even when caring people are around. We might feel we are taking too much time, or being a ‘burden’. When the loss is shared, such as family or friend bereavement, it can seem that others don’t feel it in the same way, or that we are doing it ‘wrong’.  For these reasons, finding ways to (re)connect to ourselves can bring us comfort, as well as help our other relationships.

All Griefscope sessions include supported time to talk about the person who has died, or the loss that has been experienced. 

All will include optional creative activities, which may range from gentle self-expression in collage, words or drawing, to making or writing something that represents something about the person, relationship or loss.
