Kathy Collinson

Bereavement Counsellor

For those of you who have yet to meet her in person, here’s an introduction…

Hello, my name is Kathy and I am a fully trained and highly experienced counsellor in bereavement and loss. Also trained and have worked with children and adolescents.  I started my journey in autumn 1997 with Cruse bereavement care Bridlington and district

doing their Basic training course in Bereavement counselling skills.

 

On the 12th May 1999, I became an accredited Bereavement Counsellor with the Bridlington and District Cruse branch later becoming the Branch referral secretary. This means I took all the messages from the telephone contact line, with messages from potential clients. I assessed that client’s needs and allocated the appropriate counsellor. In 2015/16 I decided to restart my journey by doing NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills followed by in 2017 NCFE Level 3 Diploma in Counselling Skills at East Riding College Bridlington. I am currently at the end of studying for my level 4 Diploma in therapeutic counselling this 2-year part-time course as enabling me to become a fully qualified practitioner where I hope to continue to make a difference to adults, adolescents and children.

 

I have attended to update my Bereavement counselling skills St Catherine’s Hospice education department and successfully completed all elements of course study and assignments to pass the module “The Application of Counselling skills When Working with Bereavement and loss” April to July 2017.To update my children and young people counselling I have Attended a two-day workshop at the Ellesmere Centre for psychotherapy and training “Counselling Children and Young People: BACP Basic young People Competences” 24/25th Feb 2018.

 

I have attended a CPD event-Working on dreams: A Gestalt Approach with Alan Leech in March 2018.

Abuse and Working Creatively 6 hrs. CPD workshop at Inner child potential Centre 88 Saner st Hull. Also, Neurosciences meets counselling workshop and an Inner child workshop both are 6 hrs. CPD registered Workshops.

Hello, my name is Geraldine and I am a Grief and Relationship Coach.

It is always a huge privilege to work with clients who choose to work through their grief with me.  As part of my coaching I teach a psycho-educational programme which is called the Grief Recovery Method.  This programme can be a life changer and I have worked with many clients both face to face and online.  I love my work and my passion is to help you complete what is unfinished with your lost relationships so you can rediscover your energy and capacity for happiness.

 

Once learned, the Grief Recovery Method is a tool for life and I personally use it on a regular basis to help myself with losses and disappointments.  It gives me a sense of peace to have this ‘go-to’ tool on hand should I need it.

 

I spent the majority of my working career within the NHS, quite often coming into contact with patients and relatives in difficult circumstances.  In 2010 I made the decision to train with Cruse Bereavement Care as one of their support workers.

 

During my quest to find something that would help I became a certified life coach and then in 2016 I discovered the Grief Recovery Method and I’m so thankful that I did.  This was the thing that helped me most.  Not only with the grief around my divorce but also losses long ago in the past which I hadn’t realised were still holding me back.

 

I am both a Certified Life Coach and Certified Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist. I am registered with the Association of Coaching and hold full public liability insurance.  I am also DBS checked.  My services are available both face to face and also online.

 

If this is something you would like to explore further give me a call on 07707 644445

My name is Helen Brady

and I am a UKCP Accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor.

I am DBS checked and fully insured. I work with individuals over the age of 14 and offer both short

term and long-term work. I believe the key element to successful therapy is an enabling and trusting relationship in which you feel safe to talk.

We all experience loss and endings at some time in our lives, it could be loss of a job, our health, or relationships.  Bereavement can be triggered by the death of a loved one and grief is the impact on our physical and emotional wellbeing of loss and/or bereavement.  It can be profound, excruciatingly painful; it can come with guilt, anger, and regrets. For some, it may bring relief or trigger unresolved trauma.

 

There is no timescale or set ‘pattern’ for grief, everyone grieves differently.

I will sit alongside you, offering you the time and space you may need to reflect, share your thoughts and feelings in a welcoming and safe environment.   To support you to do this I draw upon different theories/types of psychotherapeutic counselling to find what best suits you, including working creatively and outdoors.

Feel free to give me a call or email me, whichever you are most comfortable with, we can have a chat about how I may be able to support you.  I offer face to face, online and outdoor sessions and I comply with Government and UKCP guidelines to ensure I am Covid secure. I welcome your enquires.

Even though the relationship had been failing for a while I was devastated. Nothing had prepared me for the heartbreak I felt and the other associated losses that came with it.  Because no-one had died I didn’t realise that I was grieving, but I was.  During my quest to find something that would help I became a certified life coach and then in 2016 I discovered the Grief Recovery Method and I’m so thankful that I did.  This was the thing that helped me most.  Not only with the grief around my divorce but also losses long ago in the past which I hadn’t realised were still holding me back.
