Have you suffered a loss or bereavement?
I recently worked with a national bereavement charity, and have extensive training and experience working with loss and grief. Loss comes in many forms and can be recent or historic. We can find ourselves coping in unhelpful ways, and struggling with anxieties and low mood. I can help you untangle your feelings, to help you see a clearer way forward.

I help people with a wide range of issues including bereavement, any type of loss, depression and anxiety and am also experienced in working with adults with chronic or life-limiting illnesses, their carers and families.
I believe that there is no right or wrong way to grieve any loss and that whilst everything around you may have changed, your life can go on and it is okay to smile and laugh again. My Christian faith informs my practice and any faith or none is welcome.

This may be anxiety, loss, or relationship difficulties.
Hello, I’m Sue. I work with adults who feel something isn’t quite right, even if life looks fine on the outside.
Often this shows up in relationship patterns, past and/or present, overthinking, or feeling unsure where you stand with others. You may notice the same dynamics repeating, even when you want something different.
You may not be in crisis, but there is a quiet sense that something needs to change.

You may seem capable on the outside yet on the inside feel anxious, depressed, self-critical or constantly on edge. Your experiences of childhood and relational trauma through emotional, domestic, sexual abuse and neglect may have left feelings of guilt, shame, over-responsibility and difficulty in trusting yourself or others. You might notice tension in your body, racing thoughts or a sense of being "on alert" or disconnected even when safe. You long for understanding, peace from self-criticism and negativity. You want to set healthy boundaries and experience greater ease in your life and relationships.

Perhaps you’re coping with loss, guilt, relationship difficulties, life changes, or worries about the future.
My approach is psychodynamic, which means we may explore how past experiences and relationships could be influencing how you feel and relate to yourself and others today. By developing greater understanding and awareness, it can become easier to make sense of your experiences and move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Hello, my name is Matthew and I’m a counsellor based at Havant Meeting Place - Havant United Reformed Church. I acknowledge counselling is a brave step to take with initially making the enquiry and then having the courage to attend the first session. I have had counselling in my life and being listened to seemed surreal at first. Friends and family had always given their opinions and reassurances, with the best of intentions at heart, yet being really listened to was ground-breaking for me. I aim to ease any anxiety by arranging an appointment as soon as possible so therapy can begin.

Bereavement Counsellors
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
