Welcome to A Grief Space
There's no right or wrong way to grieve - only your way
Grief and Loss Counselling
Hello, I'm Yvonne a BACP registered counsellor offering grief and loss counselling in the UK.
I believe that having somewhere to talk can help when life has changed in ways you did not choose or were not prepared for. My role is not to tell you how to grieve or to have answers for you but to offer a space where you can talk openly and process what you are going through.
Some losses don't look obvious from the outside.
Grief isn't only about death.
Loss takes many forms, and each one can shake your sense of who you are.
You might be grieving:
- the death of someone you love
- the loss of a parent or partner
- a sudden or traumatic loss
- the death of a pet
- the end of a caring role
- the slow painful decline of someone close
- a relationship that changed or ended
- a future you thought you would have
- a version of yourself you no longer recognise
- life changes you did not choose - retirement, illness, becoming a carer, an empty nest
My work is informed by my experience with organisations Bereft Bereavement Support and Cruse Bereavement Support where I supported individuals through a range of emotional responses linked to loss.
I see each client as a unique individual. Some people need space to talk, some need support to make sense of what has happened; sometimes it might be difficult for you to even recognise what you need. We can start from wherever you’re at. Sessions are guided by what is most important to you. I can offer some structure, if you feel it would be beneficial.
I work in line with the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and engage in regular professional supervision to support safe, ethical and reflective practice.
Your Grief - held in confidence
For the words that are hard to say, the feelings that feel too much, I offer a quiet space to talk and reflect in confidence.

A Grief Notebook
A guided notebook for working through grief at your own pace.
This notebook offers structured prompts and reflective exercises to help you process your thoughts and emotions, and make sense of your experience after someone has died, and create space for what feels hard to hold.

Frequently asked questions
Everyone grieves differently, counselling can be helpful if your grief feels overwhelming, stuck or isolating.
There is no time limit on grief. Many people come to counselling long after a loss or life change, when they feel ready, or when something in life brings loss back into their awareness.
The first session is a space to get to know you and what you are going through. You do not need to prepare anything, and you can share as much or as little as feels comfortable for you.
Grief can bring strong emotions and at A Grief Space you are welcome to bring whatever comes up for you.
No. This is your space, and we will work at your pace, exploring what feels right for you.
No. Sessions are one-to-one, providing a private and confidential space for you to talk openly. I understand it may feel daunting at first, especially if you have not attended counselling before but we can shape the work around what feels manageable for you.
