Janet Reed

I have general availability between 10am and 8pm Monday to Friday. I work at the weekend by agreement.

I specialise in counselling for bereavement, grief, loss and life losses.

My own experiences have allowed me to develop invaluable skills to support clients that are dealing with grief and loss. I believe I was drawn to counselling because of my personal experiences of grief and loss. They gave me empathy, understanding and the ability to connect with clients who are going through similar challenges.

Having experienced the loss of my mother to cancer at a very young age and a 6 year period of infertility and miscarriages I am no stranger to grief. I truly believe that my own losses in life have led me to where I am today. Following surgery and chemotherapy for breast cancer in 2016, a subsequent divorce, a stressful management career in retail and, later on, in finance and payroll, I made the decision to retrain as a counsellor and enrolled on my degree course. I pursued my dream of providing counselling for bereavement and loss and working with clients who have received a terminal diagnosis.

Grief is a very lonely place, and it can be difficult to talk to family and friends, but the need to make sense of your emotions is very important in the grieving process. I specialise in counselling for bereavement, grief, loss and life losses. I provide a safe space to open up about your loss and the feelings you are experiencing. We can work together to understand the processes of grief and together we can find some coping strategies to help you.
