Grief and relationships.

When we are changed through grief, we can experience a shift in who stays, who goes, who arrives.

Often we want to scream out loud

"I AM NOT THE SAME"

"I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN"

You are not alone if you feel this change in you and in your relationships.

Grief forces us to look at the world with new eyes.

In group, we talk about this alot, and for most of us we share the same opinion.

In that sharedness, we feel connection.

No longer alone with it all.

We meet in Kendal, Thursdays 7.30pm. Beck Centre.

Its been 8 months since i launched The Grief Studio in Kendal 🥹 its growing and there are spaces to join!

Community & Connection is everything when we are grieving, it can feel like such an isolating time.

You are not alone.

If you’ve been following The Grief Studio for a while, thinking about coming to a group or wondering whether one-to-one counselling might help, perhaps this is your time.

🩶 You don’t need to be at breaking point.
🩶 You don’t need to know what you’re going to say.
🩶 And you definitely don’t need to have grief figured out.
🩶 You might be on a waitlist for support and want to fill that gap.

Always, you can just come as you are.

At The Grief Studio, there are two ways to work with me:

GROUP COUNSELLING | Kendal & Crosthwaite
Thursdays Kendal 7.30pm - 8.30pm
These are therapeutically led counselling groups.
We talk. We listen. We learn about what grief is doing to us. We work with the difficult stuff, but we also look at identity, the body, coping, connection and how we begin moving forward while still carrying what matters.
Pay What You Can — from £5.

ONE-TO-ONE COUNSELLING | £40 per hour
Kendal in person, or online.
For the things you might not be ready to say in a group.
A private hour where we can slow things down and work with your grief properly, whether it comes from bereavement, relationship breakdown, illness, life change, identity, family or a life that simply doesn't look the way you thought it would.

And you don't have to choose one forever.
Some people begin one-to-one and later find their way into group.
Some start in group and realise they need some individual time too.
Grief changes. Your support can change with it.

If you've been on the fence, consider this your invitation.
Autumn is coming.
You don't have to spend another season just getting through.

Send me a private message if you'd like to talk about which option might be right for you or email me on 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

I left our Grief Counselling Group full of joy last night. And cake.

You see, our very brave bunch at the Thursday Kendal group took it in turns to speak about their loved ones who have died, and with pictures, musical instruments, collages and cake, they shared the story of that person. Who they are, what made them, them, how they shaped and impacted the lives around them and how much love and laughter they generously gave.

There were tears. There was laughter. There was pain. It was shocking and immensley beautiful and It was all shared.

We witnessed the story telling.

This therapeutic approach of story telling in grief when timed appropriately, can bring huge relief, healing and connection.

When someone we love dies, we want to talk about them, we want it to feel allowed, without awkwardness or shame.

So we did. We do. They arent - they are.

Monday, and im reflecting on the power of community.

In our fast evolving digital world, it is my belief that as that grows and shapes our future, it creates an ever increasing desire for genuine human connection and community.

Especially when we are grieving. I have seen first hand the power of connection and grief support, which is one reason why i founded The Grief Studio and run Grief Counselling Groups.

But.....don't take it from me, below a few words from our existing group community.

NEW group starting September in Kendal, email me to save yourself a space or ask me more questions :

💛
“I feel like I am among people who speak the same language, a secret language that the rest of the world may not understand.
With the help of Lucy and the group, I’ve realised that the things I feel and think are actually shared, and that’s been incredibly healing.”

💛

“Joining the grief counselling group has been a real game changer for me.
It took a lot to finally decide to come, but I’m so glad I did. Being able to share my thoughts and feelings with others who understand has been incredibly helpful.
I’m starting to understand more about where I am in my grief and where I want to go, and I’m picking up tools to help me along the way.”

💛

This is what happens when grief is no longer carried alone.
