Grief Certified Coach.

1:1 Grief Coaching (Online & In-Person) 
I support individuals experiencing all types of loss, including the death of a loved one, major life transitions, and cumulative or unresolved grief. Sessions provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to process grief, build coping tools, and find meaning while honoring what has been lost.

My work is informed by both professional training and lived experience. I am a bereaved son who lost his mother, and I bring deep empathy while supporting people through many forms of loss—not just one story, but yours.

Grief-Informed Workplace Workshops & Talks
I partner with companies and organizations to create grief-informed, emotionally supportive workplaces. Services include tailored workshops, team trainings, and educational talks designed to help leaders and employees better understand grief, communicate with compassion, and support themselves and others through loss. All offerings are customized to meet the specific needs of each organization.

Life Coaching & Personal Growth Support
In addition to grief-specific work, I offer life coaching for individuals seeking clarity, direction, and growth. These sessions focus on goal-setting, reconnecting with your values, and working toward your full potential—especially for those navigating life after loss or major transitions.

My approach honors the reality that grief and growth often coexist, and that with the right support, it is possible to move forward with intention, purpose, and self-compassion.

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.

Grief Clarity Labs helps people navigating caregiving, anticipatory grief, loss, and life after major change find steadier ground. Through one-on-one grief coaching, support groups, workshops, speaking, and retreats, Caroline Shelby offers grounded, compassionate, non-clinical support for those trying to understand what they are carrying and why life feels different now. With space for both private reflection and community connection, this work helps people find language for experiences that often go unnamed, create a clearer understanding of what has shifted, and feel less alone in the chaos of grief.

I am a certified Grief Educator, having completed the 12-Week Grief Educator Certification through Grief.com. I support individuals and groups navigating the complex terrain of loss, with particular experience in traumatic grief. I am also a certified professional coach (PCC) with an extensive experience in helping people reach their potential professionally and personally.

For the past four years, I have worked with suicide loss survivors through the Distress Centre’s of Greater Toronto, facilitating support groups and providing one-to-one support. Walking alongside individuals and families after suicide has shaped my understanding of how layered, isolating, and complicated grief can be. My work is grounded in compassion, safety, and deep respect for each person’s unique grieving process.

While my specialty is supporting suicide survivors, I also work with individuals grieving other forms of loss — including sudden death, illness, complicated family dynamics, and other life-altering transitions. Grief is not something to “fix.” It is something to witness, honor, and integrate.

My approach combines education, emotional processing, and practical tools to help clients:

• Understand the nature of grief and traumatic loss

• Reduce isolation and shame

• Develop healthy coping strategies

• Rebuild meaning and connection over time

Whether in a group setting or through one-on-one support, I create a space where people can speak openly, feel understood, and move forward at their own pace.
