What do we do?
We offer a confidential bereavement counselling service for people living in Southwark.
If your life is affected by bereavement in any way then perhaps we can help. We can see you on your own – or with your partner. We will work out with you an agreed number of sessions to suit your own needs.
We can offer appointments at some local community or health centres, or at our own centre in Kennington. It may also be possible to see you in your own home.

If you're not sure whether we are the right service for you, then feel free to get in touch with us to talk it through. If this isn't the right place for you, then we'll talk to you about other options that may be available.

How much will it cost?

We want the service to be accessible to anyone, regardless of their income. This initial assessment session costs £ 5. Thereafter we have a sliding scale of fees starting from as little as £3 per session.

How can counselling help you?
Counselling can help you to:
  • make sense of your fears and anxieties
  • feel less alone, anxious or down
  • share your grief and loss
  • think about – and understand – your emotions
  • feel more stable in a crisis
  • look at better ways of communicating with your family and friends
  • begin to find answers to your problems and concerns
  • find a way out of the numbing effects of grief
  • control your intake of alcohol or tobacco
  • reach out to your friends and community for support
  • discover new perspectives on life.
