Grief Therapy & Mentoring

Therapeutic support for life after loss — in all its forms.

Grief changes everything, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Grief arrives when the world as we knew it fractures. Sometimes loudly, sometimes in silence. Sometimes all at once, and sometimes over time. It can greet us not only through death, but through endings of all kinds — the unraveling of identity, separation, illness, the quiet ache of what never came to be, or the turning of seasons we weren’t ready to leave behind. However it arrives, grief has a way of reshaping us and how we relate to the life that carries on around us.

In a culture that urges us to stay strong, to tidy away our grief, and move on after loss, this work offers a sacred refusal — a place to tend to what’s been lost and all that has been left behind in it’s wake. In this space, grief is not pathologised. You are not asked to fix what you’re carrying. Here, your grief is honoured, witnessed and welcomed. Held with reverence as the nature, sacred response to love and loss that it is. This is a space where your grief has the room it deserves to breathe and move through you.

Whatever form your loss has taken, and whether you’re navigating the sharp edges of fresh sorrow or the quiet hum of an older ache, this work offers you companionship through the wild terrain of loss — and the slow remembering of your own inner wholeness. It is here to provide gentle, trauma-informed support to help you navigate the landscape of loss and find your way through in a way that honours what was — at your own pace, and in your own way.

About My Approach

My approach is grounded in a trauma-informed, heart-led way of working. It draws on my professional training as a therapist, my lived experience of complex loss, and years of gently holding space for others walking their own path through grief.

This is not a one-size-fits-all model. I honour your unique experience of grief — and meet you there. Together, at your pace, we follow the threads of what’s present for you and tend to the rawness, the longing, the anger, the numbness, the confusion, the love — all of it. Because grief is not a problem to be solved.

There is no timeline here. No pressure to move on. Only an invitation to move through, with tenderness and gentle support.

Tending the Terrain of Grief

This work is here to support you in tending to your grief, helping you to find your way through in a way that honours your loss and feels meaningful to you. Using a range of therapeutic disciplines and tools to support your process and healing, we move gently, at your own pace, tending to whatever is present — from the loudest pain to the quietest ache.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sessions are held either online or in-person in Stafford.
No, our work together is led by your pace and needs. Some people come for short-term support during an acute time of loss; others choose to journey with me over many months or years. There’s no right or wrong way to grieve — and therefore no timeline you need to follow.
Grief shows up in many forms. I support people navigating the death of a loved one, as well as grief arising from miscarriage, stillbirth, estrangement, suicide loss, pet loss, anticipatory grief, the end of a relationship or friendship, job loss, or other life transitions. All forms of grief are welcome here — even those that feel unseen or are hard to name.
If you're navigating grief — whether recent or long-held — and you’re yearning for a space that feels gentle, non-judgemental, and deeply supportive, then this may be right for you. You don’t need to have the “right” words, or even know exactly what you need. Just a willingness to show up, as you are. Whether you're feeling numb, heartbroken, lost, or simply seeking connection with others who understand the weight of grief, you are welcome here.
There is no timeline in grief. No expectation. Just spaciousness, care, and the invitation to begin — or continue — your journey with tenderness.
There’s no one way a session might unfold — because there’s no one way to grieve.
As a qualified therapist working within a trauma-informed lens and person-centred approach, I meet you exactly where you are. We may explore your emotional landscape through gentle conversation or therapeutic exercises, create space for what feels stuck or overwhelming, or tend to the nervous system with grounding and regulation techniques. I also draw on somatic (body-based) practices to support integration, especially when words are difficult.
At times, we may bring in guided breathwork, mindful movement, visualisation, or therapeutic journaling. And we may, if it feels right for you, honour your loss through memory work or simple rituals that support meaning-making and connection. Where appropriate, we may also explore practices rooted in spirituality — always guided by your needs and beliefs.
Some sessions are deeply therapeutic, whereas others feel more like soulful mentoring. Many flow between both. What remains constant is the presence of a safe, warm, and grounding space where your grief is welcome — in whatever shape it takes that day.
However we work, you will never be rushed, fixed, or pushed to “move on.” This is a space where your grief can unfold gently — in your own time and in your own way.
This space can hold both.
Grief therapy offers a trauma-sensitive, clinically grounded space to explore the emotional, psychological, and somatic impacts of loss. As a qualified therapist, I draw on various therapeutic disciplines that gently support you to process grief, navigate loss, tend to the nervous system, and hold space for any complexities that may arise — including trauma, anxiety, or depression.
Grief mentoring, on the other hand, offers a more intuitive and reflective space. It's not about “fixing” or “treating,” but walking alongside you as you navigate your grief. This might include spiritual inquiry, creative expression, meaning-making, ritual, storytelling, or simply a place to be witnessed without judgement or agenda.
Some clients come with a clear sense of which path they want or need. Others like to blend both together — moving between therapy and mentoring as their grief evolves over time. We’ll explore together what feels most supportive for you.
Yes, I offer a free 20-minute consultation which provides a gentle space for you to ask any questions, share what’s on your heart, and simply get a sense of how it might feel for us to work together. There’s no pressure or obligation to continue — just an open invitation to explore whether this space feels right and supportive for you.
Sessions are £80 and typically last 60 minutes. You’ll receive an invoice the day before each session, with payment kindly requested via bank transfer.
Yes, of course. The frequency of our sessions is entirely tailored to your individual needs. While many people begin with weekly or fortnightly sessions, others — especially those further along in their grief journey —may prefer to meet monthly or on an ad-hoc basis. This is a flexible and evolving process, and we can adjust the rhythm of our sessions over time to suit whatever feels most supportive for you.

The heart Behind This Work

Read more about my story and what led me to this path below.

Why I Hold Space for Grief

When I was 21, my beloved father made the decision to end his life. The loss was sudden, traumatic, and life-altering, and it cracked my heart open with such force and destruction that I never thought I would find my way through. It changed everything I thought I knew — about life, about love, about pain, about how we carry what we can’t fix. Nothing felt the same anymore, not even the ground beneath my feet.

I was forced to enter a kind of wilderness I had never known before. One that was dark, isolating and filled with pain. But what hurt even more was the silence — the sense that the world didn’t quite know how to meet me where I was.

This was the beginning of my apprenticeship with grief.

In the wake of my father’s loss, I found myself searching — not only for meaning, but for spaces where I could be held without needing to hide, explain, make sense of, or move on from my grief.

I longed for was a space where I could speak the unspeakable, or simply sit in silence and still feel seen and held. A place that held my grief with tenderness and reverence, where I could bring the rawness, the rage, the hurt, the mess, the numbness — all of it. But these spaces were difficult to find, especially amidst the social isolation of a global pandemic.

Grief brought me to my knees. But it also became my teacher, and later on, my companion. It revealed to me the spaces — and people — who could hold me through it.

Slowly, I began to understand that grief doesn’t need to be solved. It needs to be witnessed. And quietly, I made a promise to myself that One day, when I’m ready, I’ll create the kind of space I so deeply needed.

And so, this is what I do now, this is what I offer. Not quick fixes or tidy answers — but a place to land. A place where grief is welcome, in all its forms, to be witnessed and tended to with grace and compassion.

My own journey through loss is what has led me to this work. My approach is grounded in professional training and rooted in everything I’ve learned, but it is my own lived experience of walking through fire and learning how to hold others with the same reverence I once needed myself that sits at the heart of it all.

To me, this isn’t just a profession — it’s my calling, a practice of reverence. I do this work because I know how despairing grief can be. And I also know, how sacred it is, to be gently held amidst it all. This is a devotion — to the tenderness of grief, and to the sacredness of being met there, just as you are.

For Those Navigating Loss by Suicide

There is a particular kind of pain that comes with losing someone to suicide. It’s a grief that can feel traumatic, complicated, disorienting, and painfully isolating. There may be questions that we will never have answers to. Emotions that change by the day — or the hour. Silence from others who don’t know what to say. And a quiet, but gut-wrenching ache that’s just hard to put into words. This is the grief that changed my life. I know how isolating losing a loved one to suicide can be. And I also know how healing it can be to have someone sit beside you — not to fix or analyse, but simply to witness and hold what is here.

Supporting those who are navigating loss by suicide has since become one of the deepest callings of my work. It is a grief I understand intimately, and hold with great care. If you are navigating this kind of loss — whether your grief is fresh or has been quietly carried for years — and you're seeking support that honours the complexity of your experience, I want you to know that there is a space for you here.

Your grief is never too much. And you are welcome here, exactly as you are.

A Gentle Next Step

Grief asks a lot of us. It can feel disorienting, lonely, and at times a lot to hold on your own — but you don’t have to carry it alone.

If this work speaks to something within you, even if you’re not yet sure exactly why, then I invite you to trust that quiet inner nudge and take a gentle step towards it.
