You Don't Have to Carry This Alone
Find gentle, professional support to navigate grief at your own pace - with someone who truly understands what you're going through.
If you're here, you may be going through a very painful time. Grief can feel heavy, confusing and isolating. You might be holding so much inside, or wondering if what you're feeling is "normal." Whatever you're experiencing, you are not alone.
Grief Shouldn't Be Faced Alone
The hidden struggles you may be experiencing deserve recognition and support.
Overwhelming Isolation
Feeling like no one understands the depth of your pain
Emotional Confusion
Experiencing anger, guilt, numbness alongside sadness
Well-Meaning But Unhelpful Advice
People telling you to "move on" or "be strong"
Fear of Being a Burden
Worrying about sharing your true feelings with others
You deserve support that meets you exactly where you are - without judgment, without timeline pressure, without having to "perform" strength you don't feel.
A Different Kind of Support
One that honors your journey without trying to "fix" you.
No "Fixing" - Just Understanding
I don't believe grief needs to be "cured" or rushed. Your grief is as unique as your relationship with who or what you've lost. My role is simply to walk alongside you.

However Grief Shows Up for You, It's Welcome Here
Grief can look like sadness, anger, guilt, numbness or just feeling "different." All of it is valid. I offer one-to-one counselling to support you through various types of loss.
Loss Through Death
- Death of a partner, spouse or life companion
- Death of a child (including miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss)
- Death of a parent, sibling or close friend
- Sudden or traumatic death
Anticipatory Grief
- Facing terminal illness of a loved one
- Watching decline due to dementia
- Living with knowledge that loss is approaching
Living Losses (Non-Death)
- Relationship breakdown, separation, divorce
- Loss of health, mobility, physical capabilities
- Job loss, career changes, financial instability
- Loss of home or familiar environment
Whatever your loss looks like, it matters. You matter.
I'm Claire - And I Believe Nobody Should Face Loss Alone
I became a bereavement counsellor because I've seen how isolating grief can be. Over the years, I've had the privilege of walking with many people through their unique grief journeys and I've witnessed the profound healing that can happen when someone feels truly seen and understood.
My Approach:
I don't believe in "stages" of grief or timelines for "getting over" loss. Grief is deeply personal - there's no right or wrong way to experience it.
- Compassion without conditions
- Understanding without judgment
- Gentle guidance at your pace
- Professional expertise with human warmth

You're Not Alone in Finding Hope Again
Real stories from people who found support and understanding in their grief journey.
"Claire provided a safe space where I could finally be honest about how angry I felt after my husband's death. She never tried to 'fix' me or tell me I should feel differently. For the first time in months, I didn't feel like I was too much for someone."
- Sarah, widow support
"After our baby died, everyone wanted us to 'move forward.' Claire understood that we needed to move WITH our grief, not past it. She helped us honour our son while finding ways to keep living."
- Mark & Emma, baby loss support
"I thought grief counselling would be sitting in a sterile office crying. Instead, Claire made it feel like talking to someone who genuinely cared about my wellbeing. She helped me realise that feeling numb was just as valid as feeling sad."
- James, parental loss support
