Counselling for Bereavement and Suicide Loss in Cambridge

​

I offer counselling for bereavement and suicide loss in Cambridge for adults who are grieving the death of a partner, child, family member, friend, or someone important in their life.

​

Losing someone close can be one of the most painful and life-changing experiences we go through. When that loss is due to suicide, it can feel especially complex, overwhelming, and difficult to make sense of. Alongside grief, there may also be shock, confusion, guilt, anger, or unanswered questions that can feel hard to carry alone.

​

Grief after suicide loss can show up in many different ways, including:

 

Intense sadness or emotional overwhelm

Shock, numbness, or feeling disconnected

Guilt or self-blame

Anger or confusion

Difficulty accepting the loss

Intrusive thoughts or images

Anxiety or feeling on edge

Changes in sleep or appetite

Struggling to function day to day

Feeling isolated or misunderstood

 

Everyone experiences grief differently, and there is no “right” way to grieve. Suicide loss in particular can bring a unique and complicated mix of emotions, and many people find it difficult to talk about what they are feeling with others.

 

My approach is warm, gentle, and non-judgemental. I offer a safe space where you can talk openly about your loss at your own pace, without pressure or expectation. Therapy is a place where all emotions are welcome, including the difficult or conflicting ones.

 

Counselling for bereavement and suicide loss can help you:

 

Process your grief in a supported way

Make sense of complex emotions

Reduce feelings of guilt or self-blame

Find ways to cope with overwhelming feelings

Feel less alone in your experience

Adjust to life after loss

Honour the relationship in a meaningful way

Begin to rebuild a sense of stability over time

 

Many people experiencing bereavement or suicide loss also struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma responses, or feeling disconnected from others. Therapy can support you in slowly finding your footing again while holding space for your grief.

 

I offer in-person counselling in Cambridge city centre, online therapy sessions, and walk and talk therapy.
