Cancer and bereavement counselling – helping you work through your emotions

Our expert cancer and bereavement counselling service is here to support everyone affected by a diagnosis or loss. None of us exist in isolation. Our connections with our family, friends and the wider world form part of who we are. When someone we love dies it can feel as though a part of you is gone and this can be utterly disorienting. Some people describe feeling as though they are in an alien landscape, or that they feel flung around in a whirlpool of grief. Others may feel nothing - just numb, angry, guilty or all of the above. Grief comes in many guises.

However, grief is a normal and natural process that takes time and work to get through, which is where we come in.

Cancer bereavement counselling. We're here to help

Having time with a counsellor, someone who is not part of your everyday life, can provide an anchor. A steady weekly space gives you time to make sense of all that you are experiencing. Being heard and understood and accepted, no matter what, can release some of the pressure, like easing the top off a bottle of lemonade that has been shaken too much.

For younger people needing specialist cancer bereavement counselling, we also have dedicated children's practitioners, many who also specialise in play therapy and use our fully equipped play rooms to help them express and work through their feelings, emotions they may struggle to express through traditional face-to-face talking sessions.

Get in touch and see how our counsellors could help you cope with feelings of loss, hopelessness, helplessness and depression.
