welcome

Thank you for visiting. I hope I can help.

One day, life takes a turn. Whether it was sudden or anticipated, we find ourselves facing life-altering loss, overwhelmed by the pain of grief and bereavement.

We feel lonely and frightened, vulnerable and confused, numb and paralysed, struggling to find a way to function in this new, unfamiliar, uncertain, desolate landscape.

Life, our sense of self, and our identity will never be the same again.

We need support at times like this. Support comes in different ways from different sources. This may be one of those ways.

I will walk alongside you for a while, as you find the courage to search very gently, one step at a time, for a way through, forward, and beyond.

This will be your time and space to pause, to be still, to speak, to feel, to be curious, to be patient, and to discover.

I will be your sounding board. I will listen without judgement. And we will work together creatively.

At the heart of my coaching approach lies a holistic emphasis on your wellbeing and self-care. Since mind, body, and soul are intertwined, all are deeply affected by loss, grief, and bereavement. Things are out of balance. We can, with practice, tune in to what our bodies are trying to tell us, and find gentle ways of supporting ourselves.

With self-awareness and self-compassion, you will honour and accommodate your grief, work with it, and hold your loss in the light of the present.

You will discover within you the resources which you can take with you to support you on your onward journey.

So that your soul may begin to sing again.

'People often say you don't overcome grief, and it's true. It is something you move through, and learn to live with. But embracing life again, living fully, experiencing joy and happiness no matter what, is important. It matters that you find your way with it. It matters because you matter.'

Dr Chloe Paidoussis-Mitchell

('The Loss Prescription' 2024)

' We will all experience grief. We will all experience loss. Your first big loss will shock you out of the safety that life has no limits. Each loss after that will teach you something new, it will never be easy, it will never be pleasant, but it will always be truthful. It will show you what matters, it will show you who cares, it will show you who you want to be, who you are, who they were, it will keep teaching you lessons and keep remoulding you.'

Cariad Lloyd ('you are not alone' 2023)
