Bereavement Counselling

Counselling for loss and grief

The loss of a loved one brings a unique kind of pain, one that can feel overwhelming and isolating. Grief is a deeply personal journey, and there’s no set timeline or “right” way to navigate it. If you’re experiencing the profound impact of bereavement, please know that you don’t have to face it alone.

My approach

In my bereavement work, I provide a supportive environment to help you:

  • Acknowledge and navigate the wide range of emotions that can arise with grief, such as sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion.
  • Understand the unique ways grief can manifest and how it’s affecting your life.
  • Develop healthy coping mechanisms and resilience in the face of loss.
  • Find meaningful ways to remember and honour your loved one.
  • Address feelings of loneliness and isolation.
  • Explore any complicated aspects of your grief journey.
  • Gradually adjust to life after loss, at your own pace.

I am here to listen without judgment, to offer guidance, and to support you as you navigate your personal journey through grief.

Specialising in:

  • Grief due to divorce / separation
  • Baby loss
  • Pet loss
  • Anticipatory grief
  • Job loss / redundancy
  • Death of a parent
  • Death of a spouse
  • Death of a child
  • Bereavement by suicide

Blanca is an amazing professional. She was able to help me a lot in just a few sessions . She’s really easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable right from the beginning. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for a therapist.

Blanca is warm and engaged, and creates the right space for people who are new to therapy (and might be a bit anxious about what it'd be like). ✨

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Blanca as my therapist. From the very first session, she created a warm and welcoming environment that made it easy for me to open up and share my thoughts and feelings. Blanca's empathetic nature and genuine interest in my well-being made me feel heard and understood.
