Bereavement Counselling following the death of a loved one.

When you initially make contact with me by email, I will arrange to call you back to discuss your needs from counselling. We will then arrange the first online introductory session, to assess your needs and discuss the counselling process.  Following sessions are usually 1 hour in length for an individual or 90 minutes for a couple session.  At the first session I will explain the support provided and discuss the counselling consent form and answer any questions you may have.

Sessions will be arranged to suit your needs. For some this may be a standalone session, for others it may be ongoing sessions, as needed.
