What is Bereavement Counselling?

Bereavement counselling, also known as grief therapy, is a form of talking therapy that gives you a safe, dedicated space to explore your loss. It’s about having a consistent and compassionate space where your grief is taken seriously and where you can build ways to help make sense of it.

Loss and bereavement can affect people differently, and our experienced therapists will work with you to understand your specific experience, explore the emotions that come with it, and develop ways of coping. Sessions with Sheffield Mind are tailored to you, not a generic programme.

Who Might Benefit from Grief and Bereavement Therapy?

People choose to start bereavement counselling for many different reasons. You might be considering therapy for grief and loss if:

• You have recently lost someone close to you and are struggling to cope

• You experienced a loss some time ago, but feel like your grief is unresolved or still affecting your daily life

• You are finding it hard to talk to friends or family about how you are feeling

• Your grief is affecting your sleep, your concentration, your work, or your relationships

• You feel stuck, numb, or unable to move forward

• You are experiencing complicated grief following a sudden, traumatic, or unexpected loss

• You feel like the people around you have moved on, but you haven’t

How Bereavement Therapy at Sheffield Mind Works

Initial conversation

We begin with a relaxed, informal conversation about what you’ve been going through and what you’re hoping to get from therapy.

Regular sessions

Sessions are usually held weekly, in person, online, or over the phone. We can agree on a schedule that works for you, and you’ll work with the same therapist throughout.

Confidential support

Everything you share takes place in a safe, private setting and remains confidential within professional and ethical guidelines.

Ongoing review

Grief does not follow a straight line, and neither does therapy. You and your therapist will regularly reflect on how things are going and adjust the focus as your needs change over time.
