Bereavement after a death
You may want to speak about the person who died, the circumstances of their death or life without them. Your relationship may have been close, complicated or difficult to describe.
Online counselling for bereavement, grief & loss
After a loss, you may have more feelings than words. Counselling offers space to talk about what you miss, what has changed and how life feels now.
Whether a loss is recent or happened some time ago, you can ask for support. Explore the practitioners below, or ask our team to help you find someone whose approach suits you.
Online support across the UK · from £24 · Confirm suitability and availability before booking.
Room for your experience of loss
Other losses and endings
Grief can also follow the end of a relationship or changes to work, home or health. You can explore what has been lost without comparing it with anyone else’s experience.
Living alongside grief
Anniversaries, family occasions and everyday reminders can bring feelings back. Sessions can give you time to consider what support you need around these moments and in daily life.
What grief counselling can offer
Your practitioner can listen as you explore feelings, memories and the changes a loss has brought. You may want to talk about relationships, identity, practical pressures or things you have not felt able to say elsewhere.
Counselling is not about forgetting someone or meeting a deadline for feeling better. You can discuss what matters to you and how you would like to use the sessions.
Choosing support that fits
Ask about the practitioner’s experience with your particular kind of loss, their approach and the ages they work with. Specialist needs may require additional training or a different service.
If grief is making daily life very difficult, or you are concerned about your mood or health, your GP can also help you explore support. Seeking help does not mean you are grieving incorrectly.

Questions about grief counselling
Is it too soon or too late to ask for counselling?
You can enquire after a recent loss or about something that happened years ago. There is no requirement to wait for a particular stage. An initial conversation can help you consider whether counselling feels appropriate now.
Do I have to work through the stages of grief in order?
No. People experience grief differently. You may recognise some feelings commonly described as stages, but they do not follow a fixed sequence and you may not experience all of them.
Can I ask for support with a loss other than a death?
Yes. Loss can include separation, changes to health, work or home, and other significant endings. Tell the practitioner what you would like help with and ask about their relevant experience.
Will counselling mean letting go of the person who died?
You can talk about what remembering and maintaining a connection means to you. Your practitioner can explore your wishes with you; you do not have to set a goal of forgetting someone.
How much does counselling cost?
Currently listed individual fees are £24–£55. Fees and session lengths vary by practitioner. Confirm the details before booking; making an enquiry is free.
Can I start with a text or WhatsApp reply?
Yes. Choose your preferred contact method in the form below. The team can help you explore options without needing a detailed account of your loss in the enquiry.
