Personal Profile

---

I specialise in bereavement counselling and pre-bereavement counselling, offering tailored support for individuals navigating their loss or processing pre-bereavement or anticipatory grief. Grief, loss and anxiety can feel overwhelming and isolating and I can help you explore emotions like anxiety, trauma, sadness or depression at your own pace.  I have a lived experience of loss and this alongside my professional experience allows me to ensure you receive a compassionate approach to your unique journey and I offer thoughtful, respectful, and personal counselling services.

As a trauma‑informed practitioner and integrative counsellor, I tailor sessions to your unique needs. I am also an autistic‑informed practitioner, a trained hypnotherapist, and certified in online and telephone counselling.

I am trained as a pet bereavement counsellor and understand the deep impact losing a pet can have. I can support you gently as you process this loss.

About Me

Introduction

---

Are you walking a lonely, confusing and overwhelming path of grief or anticipatory loss? I’m Charlotte from Lavender Path, and I offer calm and supportive counselling to help you find your way forward.

Whether you are struggling with loss and grief and the mixture of feelings that are associated with bereavement like loneliness, anxiety, anger, or depression, or you are dealing with pre-bereavement, or are facing your own illness, I am here to support you.

I can also work with you if you have experienced other losses throughout your life like redundancy, relationships ending and pet bereavements.
