Bereavement and traumatic grief counselling

Learn how to work through loss and find a new way forward.

What is bereavement counselling?

Bereavement and grief are a response to loss, particularly involving death but can also involve the end of a relationship or losing a home or job. This type of emotional response can affect us not only mentally, but physically and socially. Bereavement counselling helps you realize that theres no right or wrong way to feel, and that it’s completely normal to experience such intense feelings.

“There are lots of different stages to the grieving process – all of which are perfectly natural. However, sometimes we can get stuck at one stage or the effects can be delayed. Our bereavement therapy can not only help you to gain a better understanding of your experience, but also help you to move on in a constructive way” Richard Reid – CEO, Therapist & Coaching Psychologist

How we help

We understand that everyone responds differently to loss and can experience grief differently. That’s why our approach to bereavement therapy and grief counselling is tailored to your specific circumstance. We’ll create a safe environment for you to express yourself freely, help you accept your loss, and give you the tools to get you back on track. 

Typically, we use a combination of therapies such as:  

  • CBT 
  • EMDR 
  • Psychotherapy 
  • And counselling techniques

How we provide it

We offer therapy & counselling sessions in person at our London offices, over the telephone and online. The sessions usually last from 30 minutes to an hour; and our courses usually consist of around 6 to 12 sessions.

How Patricia overcame her grief: A case study on our bereavement counselling

Patricia, a single mother, had recently experienced the traumatic grief of her fathers death. She was struggling to work because of the immense pressure she felt having to support and care for her elderly mother and two children. Sadly, Patricia had no one she felt she could talk to about the loss of her father until she found Pinnacle.  

During our sessions, we encouraged Patricia to talk about how she was feeling about the death of her father. We then provided practical advice on allowances that Patricia would be entitled to, along with details of local care centres that could help her and her mother.  

After the course of our therapy sessions and advice on resources she could pull from, Patricia overcame her grief and was finally able to provide for those who needed her.
