The loss of a loved one can be a deeply emotional experience that affects all aspects of life. At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we understand that grief and bereavement can manifest in various ways, from sadness and confusion to feelings of isolation or anger.
Our bereavement counselling services provide a compassionate, supportive environment for individuals dealing with grief, whether it's recent or unresolved. We offer expert-led therapy tailored to your unique needs, helping you navigate the emotional and mental impact of loss.
Understanding grief and bereavement
Grief is a natural response to losing someone important, but it can feel overwhelming. There is no "right" way to grieve, and emotions can range from sadness to shock, guilt, and anger.
For many, the grieving process includes multiple stages, such as denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. However, it’s important to recognise that grief is not linear, and every person processes loss differently.
At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, our team specialises in grief counselling, helping individuals work through these difficult emotions. Whether you are experiencing prolonged grief disorder or acute loss, our therapists can guide you through the stages of grief and help you find ways to manage overwhelming feelings.
When to seek bereavement support
It's common to struggle with grief after a loss, but when feelings of sadness, despair, or anger persist for an extended period, it might be helpful to seek professional help. You should consider bereavement counselling if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
Intense sadness or depression that doesn't seem to ease
Withdrawal from social activities or relationships
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
Guilt or anger related to the loss
Physical symptoms like fatigue or headaches
Our bereavement support services provide a safe, non-judgemental space to explore your feelings and work through the emotional complexities of grief.
What are the common symptoms of someone struggling with grief?
Bereavement can be a lifelong, difficult change that can impact anyone, and everyone at different levels of severity. It manifests through different emotional and physical symptoms depending on the individual, but these may show as intense sadness, emptiness, and obvious loss. Physically, this can disrupt sleep patterns, cause loss of appetite, and issues concentrating.
Symptoms will vary as the time since bereavement passes but can range from shock and disbelief to anger and guilt. Bereavement affects individuals in unique ways, so symptoms may vary in intensity and duration.
If you or someone you know is grappling with these challenges, acknowledging and understanding these symptoms is a vital step towards seeking support.

Our approach to grief therapy
At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we take a holistic approach to grief therapy, offering tailored interventions based on your individual experience. Our team of grief therapists is skilled in various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is effective for addressing the mental health challenges associated with bereavement.
Grief therapy for sudden loss
Sudden and unexpected loss can be particularly traumatic, leading to intense feelings of shock, disbelief, and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our grief therapy sessions provide a safe space to process this kind of trauma and explore the intense emotions that come with it. We work with you to develop coping strategies and help you adjust to a world without your loved one.
Grief and loss beyond death
Grief is not solely confined to the loss of life. At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we recognise that individuals may experience intense emotional pain and a sense of loss in the wake of broken relationships or friendships. These types of losses can provoke similar emotional responses to bereavement, including sadness, anger, and confusion.
The grieving process may mirror the stages of bereavement—denial, anger, bargaining, and eventual acceptance. It is important to acknowledge these feelings as valid and part of the healing process, allowing individuals to process their emotions fully and find their path to recovery.
Comprehensive counselling services for loss
We offer counselling services for loss that extend beyond immediate grief, recognising that each loss is unique. Whether you've lost a family member, friend, or partner, our therapeutic approach is centred on helping you rebuild a sense of normalcy and meaning after such a life-changing event.
Coping with prolonged grief disorder
For some, grief doesn't subside with time. Prolonged grief disorder can leave individuals stuck in a state of chronic mourning, where the feelings of loss become overwhelming and interfere with everyday life.
If this sounds familiar, our specialised grief counselling can help. Our therapists use evidence-based techniques to address the mental and emotional health concerns associated with prolonged grief, ensuring you receive compassionate care tailored to your needs.
Bereavement counselling tailored to your needs
Our bereavement counselling services at Schoen Clinic Chelsea are designed to meet the unique needs of each individual. Whether you are dealing with the loss of a loved one due to illness, accident, or natural causes, we provide personalised therapeutic care. Our bereavement therapists help you work through the emotional pain of loss and rebuild your mental and emotional resilience.
Bereavement therapy for children and adolescents
Children and adolescents may process grief differently from adults, often struggling with how to express or understand their emotions. We offer specialised counselling for younger individuals who are dealing with the loss of a parent, sibling, or close family member.
Our compassionate team is trained to help children navigate the emotional turmoil that comes with bereavement, offering tools to help them cope in healthy ways.
