We understand that everyone’s experience of loss will be different and that therefore we have a range of support opportunities available
We aim to offer flexible, personalised and cost effective support for people experiencing these difficulties.
Counselling
Counselling can give you the opportunity to explore issues such as emotional pain, anger, guilt, and depression with a trained therapist. It can also help you with acceptance and strategies to coping with life, during the time leading up to and after the death of someone close.
Befriending
If you’ve stopped doing things you used to enjoy before your loss and would like some company while you readjust, then we can match a befriender with you. A befriender can go out and about with you, visit you at home or call for a regular chat.
Education about the physical and emotional effects of loss
We can give you information about what some of the common physical and emotional experiences of loss might be.
Coping with Loss and Change Course
These courses can help you to understand stages of loss, ways to cope and to share your experiences with others in a safe environment
Group work
Group therapy is a shared therapeutic experience that involves the presence of a trained professional and other group members who are working through their grief.
Group therapy is confidential, and collaborative which focuses on particular concerns shared by group members. The therapist may encourage participants to share their experiences and work on achieving a greater sense of self-awareness and improved understanding to help recovery.
Having therapy in a group setting may have additional benefits, as it offers a support network and provides opportunity to meet others experiencing similar difficulties. Join our groups by clicking the link here.
Practical Support
A Wellbeing Assistant can help you with practical tasks like writing letters to organisations, updating utility and phone account details, ensuring you get financial assistance you’re entitled to, and sorting and sharing belongings that need a new home during times of loss and change.

We are continuing to compile a list of good books and would love to hear from you if you found any particularly helpful. Here is what we have so far.
If you would like to read one of these books but are not in a position to purchase it or borrow it from your local library please give us a call and we will help you with that.
