Grief, Loss and Bereavement Support

Grief can take many forms. It may follow the death of someone close, but it can also arise from separation, displacement, or the loss of a life that once felt certain.

There is no right way to grieve, and no fixed timeline. You may feel overwhelmed at times, and at others feel very little at all. You might notice waves of sadness, anger, guilt, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others. For some, grief can feel confusing or difficult to put into words.

Therapy offers a space where these experiences can be gently explored at your own pace.

​

Understanding Loss in Its Different Forms

While grief is often associated with bereavement, loss can be experienced in many ways, including:

• The death of a loved one 

• Loss of a child or pregnancy 

• Separation, divorce, or relationship breakdown 

• Living far from home or family 

• Experiences of displacement, migration, or exile 

• Being unable to return to your country or reconnect with loved ones 

• Anticipatory grief in the context of illness 

• Changes in identity, roles, or sense of belonging 

Some forms of loss are not always visible or fully recognised by others. This can make the grieving process feel isolating or difficult to share.

​

A Space to Process Grief

Grief does not need to be “resolved” or rushed. In therapy, the focus is not on moving on, but on creating space to understand and integrate your experience.

This may involve:

• Making sense of complex or conflicting emotions 

• Finding ways to stay with difficult feelings without becoming overwhelmed 

• Exploring how loss is affecting your inner world and relationships 

• Giving language to experiences that may feel unclear or hard to express 

• Gradually reconnecting with a sense of meaning or continuity 

 

My Approach

My work is integrative and trauma-informed, grounded in a psychodynamic understanding of how loss can affect us both consciously and unconsciously.

I pay attention to how past experiences, relationships, and emotional patterns may shape the way grief is experienced in the present. Alongside this, I incorporate mindfulness-based and creative approaches when helpful—particularly to support emotional regulation and expression when words feel difficult to find.

I aim to offer a reflective, steady, and attuned space where your experience can unfold at its own pace, without pressure or expectation.

​

Experience with Complex Grief

I have experience supporting individuals navigating trauma and bereavement, including sudden or complex loss. My work also includes supporting people from diverse and multicultural backgrounds, including those who have experienced displacement, conflict, or separation from loved ones.

These experiences can involve layers of grief that are not always immediately visible—such as ambiguous loss, or the ongoing impact of being unable to return home or reconnect with family. Therapy can offer a space where these experiences are acknowledged and held with care.
 

Who I Work With

I offer grief and bereavement support to:

• Adults and young adults 

• Individuals navigating trauma and loss 

• People from multicultural and international backgrounds 

• Those experiencing both recent and past losses 

Sessions are available in English, Spanish, and Basque.
