Online grief and bereavement counselling
Grief can feel overwhelming, confusing and lonely, whether your loss was recent or years ago. Grief counselling offers a gentle space to make sense of your loss and find a way to carry it that feels more bearable.
Does this sound familiar?
- Waves of sadness, anger or guilt catch you off guard.
- You feel numb, or as though the loss isn’t real.
- People expect you to be “moving on”, but you’re not ready.
- You keep replaying what happened or what you could have done.
- You’re struggling to sleep, eat or concentrate.
- You’re grieving something others don’t always recognise, such as a pregnancy, a relationship or a pet.
There is no right way to grieve
Grief doesn’t follow neat stages or a timetable. It can come in waves, and it often changes shape over time rather than simply fading.
Some losses are especially hard: sudden or traumatic deaths, losing a child or baby, complicated relationships, or losses that others don’t acknowledge. Counselling gives your grief space without judgement.
How I can help
Together we can:
- talk about the person you’ve lost and what they meant to you
- work through guilt, anger and “what ifs”
- cope with anniversaries, birthdays and other hard days
- find ways to stay connected to your loved one while living your life
- gently address any trauma linked to how they died
About your grief counsellor
I’m Natalie, a trauma-informed counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist. I’ve supported English-speaking adults online for four years. My training includes Pregnancy and Baby Loss Support (Sands), trauma-informed practice and the Rewind Technique for traumatic memories.
Online bereavement counselling
Bereavement counselling is support after the death of someone close to you. Grief counselling is a slightly wider term that also covers other losses, such as a relationship ending, a diagnosis, a miscarriage, or losing a home or a way of life. Both give you space to talk about your loss with someone who won’t rush you or expect you to “move on”.
Online bereavement counselling can be especially helpful if you’re struggling to leave the house, live far from family, or would simply rather talk from somewhere private and familiar.
Types of loss I support
- The death of a partner, parent, child, sibling or friend
- Sudden, traumatic or unexpected deaths, including suicide
- Pregnancy loss, miscarriage, stillbirth and baby loss
- Anticipatory grief, when someone you love is seriously ill
- Complicated grief, when the relationship itself was difficult
- Losses others don’t always recognise, such as a pet, a friendship or a future you’d hoped for
Signs grief counselling may help
Grief is a natural response to loss, not something to be fixed. But if you feel stuck, can’t function day to day, are using alcohol or other things to cope, or are struggling with guilt or anger many months on, talking to a grief counsellor can help you find a way forward.

Grief counselling FAQs
Is it too soon, or too late, for grief counselling?
There’s no right time. Some people come in the first weeks, others years later when grief resurfaces. Both are completely valid.
Do you support pregnancy and baby loss?
Yes. I have trained with Sands in pregnancy and baby loss support, and offer a gentle space for parents and partners.
Can grief counselling help if my loss was traumatic?
Yes. If the death was sudden or distressing, we can work with the trauma as well as the grief, at your pace.

I’m not an emergency service. If you’re in crisis or worried about your safety, call your local emergency number (999 in the UK, 112 in the EU). In the UK you can also call NHS 111 (choose option 2 for mental health in England and Wales) or Samaritans on 116 123, any time.
