BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT
ABOUT OUR SESSION FACILITATOR & COACH
Hello!
MY NAME IS REBECCA
My name is Rebecca, and I am a Wellness practitioner and Transitional Life Coach specialising in Grief and Bereavement based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex
​
I curate and facilitate emotional wellbeing and mindfulness based
Bereavement Memorial Making sessions, focusing on the crafting of
a memorial piece to commemorate the life of your lost loved one,
created by your hands with my help, from an item of clothing or a
blanket that connects you to them.
This is a highly therapeutic process which not only allows you
to honour your loved ones memory by creating something tangible
and meaningful, but also, through session discussion and support,
allows you to process and express your grief and emotions safely, and without judgement. Also during session, we consider any additional challenges that you may be finding difficult to navigate and transition through alone since being bereaved, and whilst grieving. You will also learn of the benefits of therapeutic writing, which is a powerful tool for self-expression and processing emotions, particularly during bereavement.
​
Further to my Memorial Making Sessions, I also offer tailored, 0ne-to-one Bereavement support and coaching programmes to help you whilst you journey through your grief, and support you as you transition towards healing and restarting life.
​
I hold certification in Grief and Bereavement Counselling and Transitional Coaching, as well as other mental health modalities and am on hand to not only assist with the creation of your piece, but to listen, support and offer advice around processing your grief, practicalities, acceptance and transitioning through your grief and beyond.
I too have experienced loss, including violent and traumatic bereavement first hand, so I fully understand the additional emotional impact, as well as the multiple facets of such a loss including media intrusion, inquests and subsequent court proceedings should that be the situation you find yourself in also. I come from a place of experience, empathy and understanding through life experience and not just study.
