No two people grieve the same, so try and ignore the noise and the 'shoulds' and do what feels right for you.

In person-centred counselling, we believe that healing begins not through trying to escape the pain, but through allowing ourselves to be with it.
Sitting with our darkness- our grief, fear, or sadness
isn't a sign of weakness; it's a profound act of courage.
When we stop running from what hurts, we create the space for light to gently find its way back in.
The role of the counsellor is not to lead someone toward the light, but to sit beside them in the dark until they can see it for themselves. ✨🌙

Self-gaslighting happens when we minimise or dismiss our own feelings.

It’s that quiet, internal voice that says:
💬 “you should be over this by now”
💬 “other people have it far worse, I shouldn’t be this upset”
💬 “I should be stronger”
💬 “I don’t have a right to grieve”

In our latest blog, we explore self-gaslighting and how its can impact us when we're grieving, as well as sharing tips on how we can recognise, reframe and validate our emotions.

"People who experience grief are one of the most loving people you could meet because we know the fragility of life and how important it is to love people when they’re there."

Here's your reminder to take grief day by day 💜

There will be some days that feel heavy, and others that are lighter. Those lighter days don't mean you're forgetting the person who died, but that you're finding ways to live alongside your grief.
