Bereavement Counselling

Grief affects everyone differently, and there is no right or wrong way to mourn. The loss of a loved one can bring a mix of emotions, including sadness, anger, guilt, or even relief. It can impact daily life, making it difficult to focus, maintain relationships, or find joy in the things you once enjoyed. Some people experience physical symptoms such as fatigue, difficulty sleeping, or a loss of appetite.

Bereavement can feel isolating, but support is available to help you process your emotions and find ways to cope with the loss.

There is no set timeline for grief, and everyone processes loss in their own way. However, if you find that your emotions are overwhelming, persistent, or affecting your ability to function in daily life, it may be time to seek support.

If you feel stuck in your grief, struggling to talk about your loss, or withdrawing from loved ones, bereavement counselling can provide a safe space to express your feelings.

Seeking help is not a sign of weakness — it’s a step towards healing and finding ways to move forward while honouring the memory of your loved one.

Bereavement counselling provides a compassionate and supportive environment where you can talk openly about your loss. A trained counsellor will help you explore your emotions, understand your grieving process, and develop coping strategies tailored to your needs.

The goal of counselling is not to “get over” a loss but to help you process your grief in a way that allows you to adjust to life without your loved one.

Sessions may include exploring memories, discussing feelings of guilt or regret, and finding ways to maintain a connection with your loved one while continuing with life in a meaningful way.

Grief can be a lonely journey, but counselling can provide the support and understanding needed to navigate it. It helps you process your emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and find ways to adapt to life after loss.

Counselling can also reduce feelings of isolation, provide reassurance, and help you manage any associated anxiety or depression. Over time, it can help you find a sense of peace, allowing you to remember your loved one while also looking forward to the future with hope.

We have a team of more than 20 fully qualified and accredited counsellors, each experienced in supporting individuals through grief.

Your journey will begin with an initial chat, where we take the time to understand your needs and concerns. From there, we will carefully match you with the most suitable counsellor and schedule your first appointment.

Our core values of understanding, discretion, and compassion ensure that you receive the highest level of care. Sessions take place in our comfortable, private counselling centre at Bath Ave, Sandymount, Dublin 4, providing a safe and supportive environment where you can express yourself freely.
