Suicide Bereavement Therapy
Specialist support for those grieving a loss by suicide
Losing someone to suicide is an experience that can shake the very foundations of your life. The grief it brings is often complex, confusing, and deeply painful — marked not only by sorrow, but also by shock, guilt, anger, and questions that may never have clear answers.
You may feel isolated in your loss, as though others don’t know what to say — or say the wrong things. Perhaps you’re carrying a sense of shame or “what ifs” that feel impossible to put into words. Or maybe you just need a quiet space to grieve in your own way, without pressure or expectation.
I offer specialist, one-to-one therapy for those bereaved by suicide, whether your loss is recent or happened many years ago. Together, we can gently explore the emotions, memories, and unanswered questions that so often arise after such a loss. Nothing you say will shock me. You are welcome here, just as you are.
Why Specialist Support Matters
Grieving a death by suicide is not like other forms of loss. It often brings a unique mix of trauma, stigma, and internal conflict. Friends and family may struggle to understand. Some may withdraw, leaving you feeling alone at a time when connection is most needed.
Therapy offers a safe and confidential space to:
-
Express painful and complex emotions without judgement
-
Explore questions of meaning, blame, or identity
-
Honour your relationship with the person who died
-
Make space for anger, love, fear, and silence
-
Begin to carry your grief in a way that feels more bearable
How I Work
I am an experienced therapist with specialist training in bereavement and trauma-informed care. I also have my own personal experience of suicide bereaveent. I offer a warm, attuned, and non-judgemental space where you can begin to find your own path through grief.
-
Sessions last 60 minutes, held online by video
-
Short-term or longer-term work is available, depending on your needs
-
I also welcome people who are supporting others after suicide loss (e.g. parents, partners, siblings, adult children, or friends)
Creative approaches (such as writing, visual reflection, or ritual) are also available, but only if and when it feels right for you.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Whether you’re overwhelmed by raw grief or quietly carrying years of unspoken pain, therapy can help. There is no “right” way to grieve — only your way.
If you would like to talk, or simply find out more about working together, I invite you to get in touch.
