Support, Peace, Hope.
1-to-1 Grief and End-of-Life Coaching.
“Each person’s grief is as unique as their fingerprint but what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed.”
David Kesler, author and grieving expert
Loss is something we all experience in our lives.
Whether it is the death of a loved one, the diagnosis of a life-limiting illness, the journey through IVF and pregnancy or the loss of a relationship or a job, grief is a reality for each one of us.
You may be feeling like the world is carrying on around you as normal while you sit with an emptiness inside.
You feel that you don't deserve to be grieving for a loss, or that people may question why you are grieving – for example for a change in work, home or family circumstances.
Perhaps you have experienced loss during the Covid pandemic and have not been able to mourn in the way you had pictured because of lockdown restrictions.
Or maybe you are one, two or ten years on from a loss and feel that you ‘should’ be over it by now.
You have support from your friends and family but you feel that you can’t keep burdening them with your grief as time goes on.
You may have adapted to your loss, but your grief is not over. Day to day living can feel overhwhelming, unmanageable and flat.
You are not interested in speaking to somebody who will try and fix you, or to point out the positive things you should be thankful for.
What is needed is a safe, supported container where you can have a conversation in which you feel seen and heard. Working in this 1-to-1 setting for a period of time that feels right to you, and with someone who isn’t too close to you, provides a neutral space for you to share your story.
I offer a safe space for you to share your story, without offering advice or silver linings.
I will meet you wherever you are now in your journey of grief, and walk beside you to support you to find peace and hope in your new normal.
When you feel ready, we will start to explore what life beyond loss looks like.
Our sessions are for you to share your emotions, memories, fears and struggles without self-censorship, and will be a constant throughout your grief journey.
How it works
We meet virtually over Zoom, or by telephone if you prefer.
We start with a free 45 minute call - this is for us to get to know each other, and work out if grief coaching is the right thing for you going forward.
If you decide this is the route you would like to take, you can book in your 60-minute sessions using my online scheduler.
The number of sessions we have is entirely up to you and what you feel comfortable with.
If you are would like to hear more about grief coaching or have any questions about how I might support you please book in a conversation using my online scheduler. (See link below).
I have a limited number of spaces available at a discounted rate for those experiencing financial hardship. Please feel free to ask me about this during our initial session.
Start our conversation
I am an experienced coach with a heartfelt commitment to supporting people who have encountered loss.
Alongside nearly ten years’ experience as a life coach, certified by the Coaches Training Institute, I have also completed training in Coaching at End of Life (CEOL), accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF).
I have lived through the loss of close loved ones in my own life, and experienced the journey of mourning. I am passionate about supporting you through your loss and standing with you to honour your grief.
Grief coaching is:
Empathy.
Deep listening.
Being with you in your emotions.
Powerful questions inviting you to look within.
Being seen and heard.
Grief coaching is not:
Sympathy.
Fixing or advice giving.
Problem solving.
Judgment.
Minimising or avoiding emotions.
What people say
“I coped with the loss of my nephew by working hard to honour his memory with my actions, but our session really gave me the space to be present with my grief. I was able to express my love for him again. I was able to speak about the day of his accident even though I never normally let my thoughts go there. I am looking forward to what’s next. Thank you for this space.”

Grief coaching could be right for you if:
You would like a safe and confidential space to be with your emotions.
You feel ready to share your story.
You want to prioritise time for your own healing.
You want to feel seen and heard.
You would like to find a sense of peace in life after loss.
Grief coaching may not be a good fit for you if:
You have significant trauma to work through which may require therapy at this point in time.
You are wanting a quick fix to feeling better.
You expect a straightforward journey. Grief is a rollercoaster and each person will have a unique experience in their journey with grief coaching.
