Grief and bereavement

When loss changes how everything feels

Most people experience grief after losing someone or something important. If these feelings are affecting your day to day life, counselling can offer space to talk, reflect, and begin to adjust at your own pace.

There is no right or wrong way to grieve

Grief can follow bereavement, but it can also come from other losses such as the end of a relationship, losing a job, changes in health, or losing a sense of safety or identity. People grieve in different ways, and those ways can change over time.

Grief after loss

How grief and loss can show up

Grief does not follow a set path. Some feelings may come and go, others may feel overwhelming. These examples are here to help you recognise what might be happening for you.

Common feelings

Grief can include shock or numbness, overwhelming sadness, exhaustion, anger, or guilt. These feelings may not be constant and can surface unexpectedly, even long after a loss.

Impact on daily life

You may find it harder to concentrate, sleep, or keep up with everyday responsibilities. Some people withdraw from others, while others feel the need to stay constantly busy. It is not always obvious that grief is the cause.

When grief feels stuck

For many people, grief softens with time. For others, it can remain intense for months or longer, making it hard to re engage with life. This does not mean you are grieving wrongly, it may mean you need more support.

How counselling can help

Counselling offers a safe, confidential space to talk about your loss and its impact. Together we can explore your feelings, make sense of changes in identity or meaning, and help you find ways to live alongside grief without being overwhelmed by it. Sessions move at your pace and focus on what feels most important to you.
