Bereavement Therapy
We understand there is no time limit on grief, particularly when it relates to the death of a child.
Our aim at Ripples of Compassion is to provide free bereavement therapy and counselling for as long as it is needed.
Finding the right therapist
How you get on with your therapist or counsellor is incredibly important. We use independent practitioners so we have a variety of professionals with a range of skills and expertise so we can help find the best match for you.
If you do not feel the first person you meet with is the right fit for you we support you to find another professional until you feel comfortable.
One of our peer supporters will support you through the process so you won’t be alone in trying to get the help you need.
Relationship Counselling
Everyone grieves in different ways and the death of a child can put incredible strain on your relationships.
We can provide support for you by yourself or jointly with your partner depending on what is right for you.
If you are not sure we are happy to discuss this with you once we have received your referral.
How to access bereavement therapy with us
As we use independent therapy practitioners to support us in achieving our aims, we ask that all referrals to us are completed by a health care professional and the parents GP is aware of the referral. Your healthcare professional can refer you to us here.
“I just wanted to send a message to say how much I am getting out of my counselling. She is amazing and has helped me so very much. I really can’t thank you enough for your generosity in helping me to have these sessions each week, it’s really been such a godsend for me. Sending you all so much love.”
