Online Bereavement Counselling Service
What do you offer?
Our Online Bereavement Counselling Service offers up to 6 free sessions with a professional counsellor over video (Zoom).
Sessions are online so you can use the service from the comfort of home.
To use the service you’ll need to have access to a laptop, tablet or mobile phone with a camera and microphone. You'll also need a stable internet connection.
How does it work?
- To get started you’ll first need to complete a short questionnaire to check if our service is right for you.
- If we can offer you support, you’ll be asked to give us a few more details about yourself and create your online account.
- Once you’ve signed up you’ll be placed on our waiting list for an initial assessment.
- When an appointment is available we’ll invite you to book a time and date for your video assessment.
- After the assessment, if you and your assessor agree that our service can help, you’ll be allocated to a counsellor when one becomes available.
- You’ll then be able to use our online platform to book and manage your 6 video sessions.
