Grief and Loss Counselling

Next Steps Mental Health and Wellbeing Service

Next Steps offers individual therapy, group workshops and other well-being support services to people who are living with life-limiting or life-changing illness, bereavement, grief, or significant loss. 

There are few events in life more distressing than receiving a life-changing medical diagnosis or being told that someone close to you has died. Grief is a natural response to all loss, not just death, and relates to the significant life-adjustments that usually follow when we experience such distressing events.

Our Approach

As each person’s experience is unique, we offer a flexible, creative, and individually tailored approach to end-of-life, grief, and loss support. Our therapy sessions are available in both indoor (clinic-based) and outdoor (nature-based) locations.

Outdoor ‘walk and talk’ sessions in beautiful surroundings can facilitate the natural grief process in a deeply transformative way. Indoor sessions can be equally transformative, with talk therapy, creative sand-tray, art therapy and somatic therapy all available to support your grieving process.

We can also offer online and telephone counselling if you prefer.
