Bereavement, Loss and Grief
Why choose Centred Minds Counselling?
Bereavement, loss and grief, can feel overwhelming, leaving you lost, lonely, or unsure of how to move forward. Emotions may be heavy, and life might feel forever changed, leaving you struggling to find your footing. But with time and support, the pain can soften, allowing you to remember your loved one with more peace and warmth, and find a way to reconnect with life again.
Here's How I Can Help
I will provide a safe space allowing you to express your feelings. Sometimes, grief feels overwhelming, and it can be hard to put into words..
Supporting you in finding your way through the pain. Losing someone you love can leave you feeling lost, and it's normal to feel unsure about how to move forward. I can help you explore and make sense of your feelings.
Helping you understand that your grief is unique and valid. Everyone grieves differently, and there’s no right or wrong way to feel or how long to grieve for.
A way to make sense of complex emotions. Grief often brings up a mix of emotions like guilt, regret, or even relief. I can help you unpack these feelings and understand them without judgment.
Creating strategies to cope with daily life. Grief can affect everything, from your mood to your sleep or ability to focus. I can help you develop strategies to manage these day-to-day challenges while honouring your healing journey.
Support in remembering and honouring your loved one. I can help you reflect on how to keep the memory of your loved one close in a way that feels meaningful to you.
Support in finding hope and meaning. Grief can make it hard to imagine life beyond the pain. I can help you find moments of hope and purpose again, even if it feels far off right now.

About me
A warm welcome and hello to you.
My name is Claire Banks, and I am a counsellor specialising in short and long-term counselling for adults aged 18+ in the UK. I work online or via telephone, so counselling can be conducted from the comfort and convenience of your own home. The privacy of your own home is especially beneficial when emotional highs and lows are experienced.
- Registered member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), (MBACP 403768).
- Diploma in Integrative Counselling.
- Many years of experience as a volunteer bereavement counsellor.
- I am fully insured.
- Author, "Nailing Counselling Training".
Because I have faced similar challenges to my clients in my own life, I can offer more than just professional support — I can offer real empathy that comes from shared experiences. The personal struggles I have overcome give me a deeper connection with my clients, allowing me to offer insights that are genuine and grounded in understanding, bringing decades of experience to my practice.
I have spent many years as a volunteer bereavement counsellor, drawn to the subject of grief because I know how difficult it can be for people to talk about. Having gone through my own experiences of loss, I understand just how important it is to have someone who listens and helps you navigate the unpredictable nature of grief at your pace, without pressure.
