A little about my work….
What holistic means here…
Grief doesn’t just live in our thoughts. It can affect the nervous system, emotions, identity, relationships and our sense of safety too.
My approach recognises the whole experience of grief - mind, body, emotions and the quieter parts people don’t always talk about.
What Grief Coaching is (and isn’t)…
A supportive, non-clinical space to explore your grief in a way that feels right for you.
There’s no pressure to “fix” anything, revisit overwhelming parts of the past, or reach a particular outcome.
Sessions are guided by what feels most supportive for you in the present - helping you navigate grief with greater steadiness, self-understanding and compassion.
Grief coaching can sit alongside therapy, or offer support if therapy doesn’t feel right for you.
My approach…
I support adults navigating grief, bereavement, identity shifts and the unspoken changes loss can bring.
My work is rooted in lived experience, grounded presence, and creating an honest space for the parts of grief people don’t always say out loud.
Together, we explore ways to expand your capacity to navigate grief, reconnect with yourself, and move through life with more steadiness, support and self-trust.

I created Greive-Breathe-Live because I know how isolating it can feel to carry experiences that don’t always fit the way society expects grief to look.
What matters most to me in this work is the understanding that grief isn’t something to “get over” or carry perfectly. It’s something we learn to live alongside - gently, honestly, and at our own pace.
I believe people deserve spaces where they can show up exactly as they are: overwhelmed, uncertain, angry, exhausted, hopeful, numb, or simply trying to make it through the day.
If you’re here, you’re very welcome here.

Grief changed far more than my emotions. It changed my sense of identity, safety, connection, and the way I experienced the world around me.
Alongside professional training, it’s this lived experience that shapes the way I hold space for others - with honesty, gentleness, compassion, and respect for the reality of grief.
I know what it feels like to keep moving through ordinary life while carrying deep loss beside it. That understanding sits quietly at the heart of my work.

I offer holistic, trauma-informed grief coaching grounded in compassion, safety, and respect for your individual experience.

I offer holistic, trauma-informed grief coaching grounded in compassion, safety, and respect for your individual experience.
Sessions follow a gentle pace. There is space for silence, for tears, and for not knowing what to say.
We focus on what feels most supportive for you in the present - helping you navigate grief with greater steadiness, self-understanding, and self-trust.
What this might include:
- Making space for grief without rushing or fixing it.
- Navigating identity shifts and life after loss.
- Exploring ways to support your nervous system when emotions feel overwhelming
- Finding small anchors when days feel heavy or unreal
- Holding memories, anniversaries, and difficult sessions with compassion
- Exploring what it means to keep living alongside grief, not beyond it.
Alongside our sessions, you’ll also have access to a private client resource space with supportive reflections, grounding tools, and resources you can return to between sessions.
If we work together over time, I may also share personalised reflections and supportive resources tailored to where you are.
There’s no pressure to use any of this - it’s simply there for you, if and when it feels helpful.
