Certified Grief Educator
Certified Master NLP Coach
Certified Grief Recovery Method Advanced Specialist®
Services Offered
Helping people gently recover from significant emotional loss. Based in Surrey, UK, I am licensed to work both in person and online. Gently guiding people to recovery so they can move on from death (human or animal), divorce, estrangement or any other kind of loss and return fully to living.
I came to the Grief Recovery Program via my own grief journey, as a result of several losses, including my father’s suicide and the death of my partner of 17 years. The work I have done has allowed me to live my life fully again, keeping hold of fond memories and letting go of the pain.
I am now delighted to be able to offer support as a Certified Grief Educator and as a Grief Recovery Method Advanced Specialist, to help people move on from the pain of a broken heart and it will be my privilege to lead you carefully and safely through the action steps to recovery.
Contact me if you would like to find out more and we can have a gentle conversation about your loss and find out if you would like to work together to recovery.
