Counselling

With the way in which grief affects people being unique to each individual, it should come as no surprise that what support each bereaved person needs also varies greatly. For some, the groups are the best way forward, for others, one-to-one counselling sessions seem the more natural choice. There’s no right or wrong method of support, they’re just very different.

There are many reasons people might choose to come for counselling, perhaps the circumstances surrounding the death, or the relationship lost are complicated, perhaps your relationships that remain are complicated or maybe the group settings just don’t feel right for you. Whatever your reason for choosing it, our 1:1 counselling provides you with a safe place and time to explore your loss, fully at your own pace, focusing on what feels most relevant and important to you. Our fully qualified counsellors are here to listen and support you.  

Our sessions cost £40 and can take place either over Zoom or face-to-face in our beautiful counselling room, The Orchard, which is located at our Allestree branch (free parking available).
