What Does Bereavement Counselling Involve?
Bereavement counselling offers a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts and intense emotions with a trained professional. It can be particularly helpful if your bereavement has left you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unable to move forward.
There is no ‘right way’ to grieve. You can talk at your own pace. You can talk about the person who died, how the loss is affecting your life, and how you are coping.
Individually Focused
Sue’s approach to counselling is a person-centred one. This revolves around creating a safe and empathetic environment where clients feel understood and supported.
Sue has worked with clients experiencing the effects of loss and grief in many different circumstances and supported clients from all walks of life.
Her aim is to help clients to find their way through difficult aspects of their grief. She finds the work inspirational and fulfilling.

In 2002, she began training as a volunteer with Cruse Bereavement Support. She felt she had found her calling and continued training to Level 5 Professional Diploma at Bristol City College.
She qualified in Therapeutic Counselling in 2007 and is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.
