How we can support you

A grief counsellor helps individuals process and cope with the emotional and psychological effects of loss, such as death, divorce, or major life transitions. They provide a safe, confidential and supportive space for clients to express their feelings, offering guidance on coping strategies.

Our volunteer listeners and counsellors can support you with one-to-one counselling at our discreet premises at Kingsland House.

We will have a First Point of Contact meeting to briefly discuss your loss. GBS will then match a listener or counsellor best suited to help you with your loss.

GBS respectfully ask clients if they are in a position to do so to make a donation of £20 per counselling meeting or a donation of your choice . However, no one will be denied counselling at GBS if a donation is not available .

We can support you with your loss, whether this is a very recent loss, or a loss that you experienced some time ago.

GBS have trained counsellors who can counsel on-line, or by telephone if you are unable to visit our premises, for whatever reason.

You will need a safe, confidential and supportive space, where you can express your feelings when attending telephone or online counselling.

GBS respectfully ask clients if they are in a position to do so. to make a donation of £10 per counselling meeting. However, no one will be denied counselling at GBS if a donation is not available .

On occasions our counsellors may provide a blended approach of both face to face and remote counselling.

This central document stores vital information to guide difficult decisions when you can no longer speak for yourself. While end-of-life preparation is emotionally complex, your legacy will provide comfort. However you shape your Life File, know it is an act of care - for yourself, loved ones, and the cherished memories that define your journey.
