Grief Educator Certificate Fall 2025
Services Offered
I’m a certified grief educator and coach, supporting individuals, leaders, and groups to better understand grief and learn how to live alongside it with compassion, flexibility and meaning.
My dad died in the summer of 2024 and his death was what bought me to the Certified Grief Educator programme.
My approach is grounded in psychological flexibility and contemporary grief education so that I can help people make sense of what they’re experiencing, whether after bereavement, anticipatory loss, identity change, or major life transitions and develop the capacity to carry grief without being consumed by it.
I offer 1:1 online sessions, and a significant part of my work takes place outdoors, particularly during spring, summer, and autumn. Nature offers rhythm, perspective, and steadiness qualities that grief often responds to more readily than words alone. Through walk and talk sessions, seasonal grief walks, workshops, and reflective group spaces I create psychologically safe environments where grief can be acknowledged, understood and integrated into a meaningful life.
I don’t offer therapy or quick answers. What I offer is education, presence and a compassionate framework for living well after loss without abandoning love, identity, or what matters most.
