Bereavement Counselling in South East London
I work with adults and young people, supporting concerns including grief, trauma, relationship and family difficulties, cultural identity, life transitions, and anxiety.
Sometimes the issues we carry feel too big or painful to put into words. Other times, they feel too small or strange to bring to therapy. You might worry you won’t be taken seriously—or that you’re “too much,” or “not enough.”
As a systemic therapist, I consider not just your internal world but also the relationships, histories, and wider social and cultural contexts that shape it. This means we might look together at recurring patterns, family dynamics, identity, or past experiences. My approach is collaborative and non-pathologising. I don’t offer quick fixes—but I do offer a space to think, feel, and be alongside.

Do you feel trapped in a permanent cycle of surviving each day?
You have been feeling tense and overwhelmed for no apparent reason, although everything ‘seems fine’ on the surface and people often tell you that you were lucky in life. It might be that you don’t quite know where your emotional and physical reactions are coming from as if your body and mind have a life of their own.
It might seem you have it together all the time but it takes so much energy to keep things going. This never-ending sense of internal pressure feels exhausting but you are not quite sure how to get out of the cycle.

Therapy is not about fixing you. It is about understanding you and your lived experience with care and compassion. You do not need to be in crisis to begin. Therapy can offer a consistent space to explore what feels difficult, gain clarity, and reconnect with yourself. As a South Asian therapist, I recognise the cultural and emotional barriers that can make reaching out feel daunting. If you are unsure where to begin, that is okay. You do not have to face this alone. Now is the time to prioritise your wellbeing.

I have worked with people who have had grief and loss, been in difficult relationships or were facing hard decisions.
Hello, I'm Kiara and I am a person-centred therapist. You may be seeking support for processing a difficult experience, or more understanding of yourself, or perhaps you have a feeling that something simply doesn't 'feel right' in your life and you want to explore what that feeling could be about.
My approach welcomes all that you bring at your pace. I believe people are the ultimate experts in themselves and I offer empathy and curiosity so you can feel free to talk through things without judgement.
Every person is unique in their identity and experiences and I believe that deserves to be honoured and heard with care.

The loss of loved ones, relationship breakdown, difficulties at work, and poor physical health, for example, may have a huge impact on our ability to function.
I am a registered Practitioner Psychologist (HCPC) and a Chartered member of the British Psychological Society (BPS). I believe that one of the most important aspects of counselling is the relationship that we develop between us, and I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where we can work together to explore the issues that are important to you.

I have worked extensively with clients who experience professional "burn out", relationship issues, bereavement and loss.
I work primarily with a form of CBT called Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT). This works on your rigid demands and core beliefs which are often unrecognised as the root of your emotional problems. As an Integrative therapist, I will use other counselling and therapy techniques where they will be of benefit to you.

We may explore your history applying a psychodynamic lens, or apply mindfulness and behavioural techniques (like DBT) for real-world change depending on what serves you best in resolving issues such as grief, anxiety, or relational and workplace stress.
I believe therapy is a collaborative experiment aimed at tangibly and enduringly improving the quality of your life. Success often begins by formulating the right questions. As an experienced assessor and case manager, I excel at fostering curiosity to connect seemingly disparate threads in your story. This process creates new understanding and provides space to address the challenges we often keep hidden—unpacking them with more care and honesty than day-to-day life typically allows. In this, I follow a person-centred foundation that prioritises safety and careful listening.

My main areas of expertise include but are not limited to; bereavement, infertility and miscarriage, relationship issues, parenthood and how it intersects with one's own childhood, and low self-esteem and confidence (which can come from a myriad of experiences).
I am a warm and perceptive therapist who will work with you to make sense of what you're struggling with. Therapy is a unique space. It's a place that's different from our relationships with family and friends and can therefore offer the opportunity to explore feelings and experiences that can be difficult to talk about or process in our day to day lives. Engaging in therapy can help you to make sense of your feelings and how they impact who you are, your confidence, and your sense of self. I offer a safe and collaborative space to help you process and understand what's going on for you.

I offer both Couple and Individual Counselling
I specialise in couples work, trauma, sex and porn addiction, bereavement, and relational or work related stress.
I specialize in working with couples. Whether you’re navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, or feeling disconnected, counselling offers a space for both of you to explore challenges and create meaningful change together. Relationships are complex, shaped by shared history, individual experiences, and the way we respond to one another. Sometimes, uncovering patterns from the past can lead to powerful breakthroughs in the present.
I also work with individuals, helping to address a wide range of issues. The act of naming and exploring a challenge in a safe, non-judgmental space can bring relief and open the door to lasting growth.

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.
