Accredited Grief, Bereavement and Loss Support
When we experience a loss or bereavement the associated grief can feel overwhelming at first. It is a complex emotional process which continuously evolves over time.
Grief is a deeply personal experience. There is definitely no right or wrong way to grieve and there is certainly no 'one-size-fits-all' approach, everyone is different.
In my role as a Grief, Loss, and Bereavement Counsellor, my primary focus is on offering compassionate, personal, and meaningful support in a space which is personal to you, confidential and safe.
. I can help you with: (not exhaustive)
Grief/Bereavement support (recent or past)
Loss associated with relationships
Loss of personal health & wellbeing
Staff support (for employees or employers)
Pet Loss
End of Life Support (for patients and families)
Long-term Illness support (individuals and families)
To ensure timely access to support, I strive to maintain short waiting lists. Appointments are typically scheduled within 10 working days following the initial free consultation.
Presently, appointments are conducted virtually, at a time that suits you, which includes evenings and weekends. (In-person sessions will be available starting in Spring 2024).
I am also able to provide group talks/presentations/guest speaker services to offer guidance on the complexities of grief and understanding the nature of grief from both personal and theoretical aspects.
Jo Goodwin-Worton
In 2019 my life changed when at only 41, my late-husband sadly died after being diagnosed with Stage 4 Gastro-Oesophageal cancer in 2018.
After seeking grief support myself, it inspired me to use my experience to help others who find themselves grieving after a loss or bereavement.
I know that I can never understand another person's grief as all our experiences are personal and unique, however through my first-hand experience, I can relate to all the complex and often overwhelming thoughts and feelings you may have.
Whether it is individual support, group support, presentations or company training, I am able to offer a range of services which will offer guidance and compassionate support at an incredibly difficult time.
I am an elected Fellow of the Society of Bereavement Practitioners (FSBP).

The SoBP represents a public commitment to the aims of the Society and to ethical practice and the highest professional standards in the field.
A fellowship reflects the considerable commitment and achievement by Jo, in all aspects of bereavement and loss support. It shows a commitment to promoting and encouraging the highest standards of education, training, and ethical and professional conduct throughout all aspects of Seeds In Time.
