Hi, I'm Karen

I'm here to walk alongside you through your grief journey with compassion and understanding. Where ever you are right now, I will help you create your unique blueprint for a purposeful life with resilience and clarity.

You Do Not Have to Walk This Alone

Grief can make you feel stuck, overwhelmed, isolated and guilty. These feelings are natural responses to loss, and you don't have to navigate them by yourself. Whether you're dealing with recent loss, complicated grief, or supporting someone through bereavement, I provide a nurturing space to process your emotions without judgement.

I'm a Certified Grief Educator and qualified coach, committed to supporting you through the often unacknowledged rocky terrain of grief. My solution-focussed approach combines professional expertise with genuine compassion, helping you honour your loss while gently guiding you toward rebuilding a meaningful life.

As a bereavement counsellor serving Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, and Perth, I understand the unique challenges faced by those experiencing loss across Central Scotland. Available for in-person grief counselling sessions throughout Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, Perth and online bereavement support across the UK, I will walk beside you to find stability and help you create a meaningful life after loss. Each person's grief journey is unique, and there's no timeline or 'right' way to grieve - I'm here to support you at your pace, in your way.

My practice includes individual counselling, group support sessions, online therapy, workplace bereavement training, and a free monthly Grief Café for community support. Whatever type of support feels right for you, I'm committed to creating a safe space where you can explore your feelings and find your path forward.
