Grief and Loss therapy Golders Green

Has everything changed and you don’t know how to adapt ?

Are you struggling with the pain of loss and feeling that you will always carry it with you? Maybe you feel like you’re always sad, finding yourself pushing away difficult thoughts, trying to control your grief and just be strong?

You may feel as though you can’t continue to rely on your friends or loved ones without feeling like a burden. Your life has changed, and you need a space where you can figure out how to make meaning of your experience and decide what’s next.

When you lose someone or something important to you—whether through death, a divorce or breakup, illness, or a life transition—it can seem as though you’ll never feel like yourself again. You just want your old self back, but so much has changed, and you are struggling to adapt to this new world.

There’s no right or wrong way to feel; grief and loss affect people in different ways:

  • Feeling tired and lacking motivation?

  • Overwhelmed with feeling sad all the time?

  • Feel alone in your situation, because no one else understands it?

  • Wondering what life is about?

  • Finding it hard to move forward? Or feeling guilty for wanting to?

  • Worried about your children and how it might impact them?

  • Can’t relate to others you once were close to?

  • Feel like your heart is racing or there is a pain in your body?

  • You can’t believe what has happened to you, and nothing feels in your control?

  • Worried about your own health?

how i can help

Grief therapy can help you feel hopeful and help you move forward.

It’s normal to feel this way, but things can get better…

You're ready to think about what has happened to you and process this  or loss, to feel better again, and to experience hope, a sense of happiness, and inner peace. As an experienced grief therapist, I'm here to guide you on that journey.

I understand the overwhelming impact a death, divorce, loss of a relationship, job change, or big life transition can have on your everyday life and overall well-being.

In grief counselling, we’ll start by talking about what’s bringing you to therapy and how it’s impacting your life. You can be as sad as you need to be for as long as you need to be. This is a safe place where you can experience, express, and process this loss without fear of criticism or judgment. Giving you the space to unpack and be heard can be healing.

I believe no one should have to walk through their struggles alone. Together, we will take the time to understand your story and what you’ve experienced. I will support you with any overwhelming fears or anxiety you may have about what this loss or change means for you. Whether that be parenting children alone, navigating what feels like a new identity, financial pressures, or feeling like life has less meaning.

Grief counselling with me will help you by examining these things, so we can begin to unpack all the pressure you are carrying. Counselling can help you integrate the feelings of loss into your life and support you as you adapt to a new life. You’ll start to feel lighter, start to heal, and feel liberated, giving you hope for a new way forward free of guilt or regrets.

imagine if you…

Felt acceptance of what has happened.

This doesn't mean you forget or stop missing the person or thing you've lost, but rather that you strive to find a way to integrate the loss into your lives and adjust to the new reality. Acceptance allows you to move forward while still honouring your emotions and memories.

I know how lonely and isolating change can be. Imagine a space where you felt supported and understood, no matter how you were feeling or coping. Grief and loss can bring up many difficult emotions, like sadness, guilt, and anger. Imagine a place where you can put this all down once a week so eventually you are able to move forward in your life and improve your relationships with others.

Felt supported and understood.

Feel a sense of hope about the future.

Begin to see a brighter future full of promise and possibilities. A sense of control over your thoughts and emotions, leading to a feeling of empowerment and positivity. It may not feel that’s possible now, but I believe in time it is.

I want you to know:

This too shall pass

I see you, and I know it doesn’t have to be this way.

Grief counselling can help you lead a happier and more hopeful life.

Common questions about grief and loss…

  • Grief is a human’s natural reaction to loss. It can arouse conflicting feelings caused by the end of or change in what's familiar. Grief can show up after experiencing a ‘normal’ loss or a minor setback.

    Grief can affect us psychologically, physically, spiritually, and socially.

    The following is a list of some leading causes of grief:

    Death of a person or pet

    Estrangement from family of friends

    Failed relationship

    Financial Loss

    Illness or Injury

    Job or career change

    While grieving is typically associated with a loved one's death, it embodies much more than this. Many of life's experiences can potentially cause grief.

    The culture we grew up in or the society we live in can affect how we cope with grief and loss and our attitude towards it. These are important aspects of ourselves to consider when we think about our loss.

  • There is no set length or duration for grief, and it may come and go in waves.

    I believe grief is an individual journey that has no right or wrong way.

    Sometimes it’s helpful to think of grief like a wound. The wound starts to heal, but sometimes it opens up and then scabs over again. Eventually, the wound turns into a scar, and the scar fades.

    Grief is about adapting to a new world. Therapy can help you process your grief and come to terms with what has happened so you can start to live life again.
