I work with people whose grief has outlasted the initial support.

The ones who are still carrying it, quietly, long after the flowers have wilted and the calls have stopped.

This is where a lot of my work begins - in that gap. That space where grief becomes lonelier, more invisible, more internal.

And where, sometimes, a quiet question starts to emerge: "I'm not ready to move on... but maybe I'm ready to look at what's next."

I offer coaching that blends grief tending, mindful photography, journaling, and ritual. This isn't about getting over grief. It's about learning how to live alongside it - with more care, creativity, and meaning.

Many factors affect the way someone grieves - including the relationship, social and environmental context, as well as personal experiences like health, work, and support systems.

Because grief is personal, my 1:1 coaching offers a tailored service: a space where you can explore your grief in a way that feels true to you.

Together, we'll work gently and practically using conversation, reflection, and creative tools - grounded in my Grief in Focus framework. This isn't a step-by-step model. It's a set of five pillars that guide the way we tend to grief in coaching:
SEE, FEEL, TEND, HONOUR, and REIMAGINE.

Each of these supports a different aspect of grief - from witnessing what's been lost, to reconnecting with meaning, to growing into the life you're building now.

Some of what we might explore together includes:

• Talking through your grief
  Giving you a safe, non-judgmental space to say the things you might not feel able to share elsewhere - helping you SEE and name what you're carrying.
• Exploring your emotions and thoughts
  Identifying patterns, challenges, and barriers that might keep you stuck in grief - gently supporting you to FEEL what's rising, in a way that feels manageable.
• Worksheets and guided reflection
  Structured exercises to help you make sense of your experience and gain clarity on what you need - helping you TEND to the parts of you that need care, rest, or support.
• Practical strategies for coping
  Whether you're managing overwhelming emotions, dealing with grief triggers, or handling daily life, I'll offer tools that actually help - grounded in TENDing to your real needs, not bypassing them.
• Ritual and meaning-making
  Creating personal grief rituals that help you feel connected, HONOUR your loved one, and integrate your loss into your life with care and intention.
• Mindful photography and creative practices
  If you find it hard to express grief in words, we can explore photography, journaling, or other reflective exercises - helping you REIMAGINE your relationship with grief and reconnect with who you're becoming.

You don't have to go through grief alone, or figure it all out at once. My role is to walk alongside you - offering guidance, space, and presence - so you can grieve in your own way, at your own pace.

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just need a space to talk, this coaching work gives structure and soul to the often invisible process of grief.

My work integrates:

Grief Tending

Grief tending is the heart of my practice. It's about making space for sorrow, memory, and meaning - without needing to fix or move on. Grief doesn't just show up in one way or one moment.

My work honours the full range: personal loss, unmet needs, ancestral grief, identity shifts, and the quiet ache of living in a world that doesn't always hold us well.

We don't push grief away. We make space to welcome it, witness it, and understand its place in the story.

Mindful Photography

Photography becomes a practice of presence and reflection. It's not about being artistic - it's about seeing differently.

Clients use photography to express what's hard to put into words, to slow down, and to connect with the emotional texture of their grief. It supports emotional regulation, self-awareness, and deeper insight - often becoming a bridge between their inner world and outer experience.

Mental Health and Social Work Grounding

With a background in mental health and social work, I bring emotional safety, ethical practice, and strong boundaries to this work.

I understand the messiness of grief, the weight of complex stories, and how to support people gently. You're held in a space that understands emotional complexity and loss.

Ritual and Ceremony

Rituals in this work are not just symbolic gestures - they are embodied practices of meaning-making. They help give form and rhythm to the relationship you still hold with what (or who) has been lost.

Together, we may co-create grief ceremonies, transition rituals, or acts of remembrance that are rooted in intention and aligned with your beliefs. This could be private or witnessed, spoken or silent, structured or improvised - but always personal, grounded, and held with care.

Ritual offers integration through practice - it anchors your experience and gives space to what words alone can't reach.

Journaling and Creative Expression

Alongside photography, I use journaling and creative expression as part of the grief work process. Journaling can help explore emotions, and process experiences, at your own pace. I offer prompts, reflections, and exercises that meet people where they are. Creativity becomes a tool for integration - helping clients move what's internal into the external world where it can be seen, shaped, and understood.

Lived Experience

This isn't just professional. It's personal. I've lived through long, complicated grief. I've sat with silence, longing, and anger - and with all the parts of grief that aren't understood or accepted by others.

That's what led me to this work. That's why I hold it with such care.
