Grief Counselling:- When a Parent dies.


Counselling and Psychotherapy can provide a protected and supportive space for individuals to process grief and navigate the emotional complexities following the loss of a parent.

The Dan Siegel- Flipping Your Lid- Hand Model, is a great reference point. https://youtu.be/qFTljLo1bK8   It can take also take away some of the shame a client may feel when they have a Fight or Flight or Freeze response to a very uncomfortable emotional trigger.   If you or anyone in your family is affected by Anger or Stress issues and would like to know more about how Psychotherapy, Counselling or Coaching would help, please get in touch.
