Peter Collins Grief Counselling
Grief counselling in London and online

You do not have to carry this alone.

Grief and bereavement are a natural part of life, but that does not make them easy. Whether the loss is recent or long ago, through death, relationship breakdown, or the death of a pet, you are welcome here at your own pace.

A calm, supportive space where you can talk freely without pressure to explain everything neatly.

A gentle place to begin

Reaching out can feel like a big step. If you are unsure, that is completely okay. You are welcome to get in touch for a brief, no-obligation chat to see whether this feels right for you.

At your pace

There is no expectation, no timeline, and no judgment. You can bring as much or as little as feels possible on the day.

Space to talk freely

You do not need to have the right words. You do not even need to know where to begin.

Support for many kinds of loss

Grief can follow bereavement, the end of a relationship, or the loss of a cherished pet. The work adapts to what you are carrying.

What we can explore

  • Make sense of complex or overwhelming feelings.
  • Explore the impact of your loss in your own time.
  • Sit with what is difficult without pressure to "fix" it.
  • Find ways to carry grief that feel more manageable.

Common types of loss I support

A site map for the kinds of grief people ask about first.

If your grief has a more specific shape, the pages below are a good starting point.

Parental Loss

Losing a parent can feel like losing your roots, your history, and part of your sense of belonging. Whether the loss was sudden or expected, whether it happened early in life or much later, your grief matters and you do not have to carry it alone.

Sudden Loss

A sudden loss can affect every part of your world. Alongside grief, there is often disbelief, confusion, and the impact of life changing in an instant.

Gradual Loss

When grief begins long before the ending, it can be hard for other people to see. This kind of loss often unfolds while caring for someone through dementia, chronic illness, or a slow change in independence.

Complicated Loss

When grief does not fit the usual expectations, it does not mean you are grieving incorrectly. It may simply mean the loss you are carrying is deeper and more complex.

Loss of a Pet

Losing a pet can feel overwhelming, and those feelings are a natural response to saying goodbye to a companion who offered loyalty, comfort, and unconditional love.

About Peter

Support that is calm, grounded, and led by you.

Counselling is often the space where people are finally able to talk about the things they have been carrying for a long time. Grief can feel isolating, confusing, or hard to put into words. This work is about making room for that, without forcing it into neat answers.
