Hello, I'm Hayley
A Grief & Loss Integrative Counsellor, Grief Tender and Breathwork Coach
Supporting you in finding gentler ways to live alongside grief
If grief has left you feeling lost, you’re not alone
Grief can turn your world upside down. It can shift the ground beneath you, take away your sense of direction, leave you questioning who you are, and make even the simplest parts of daily life feel overwhelming.
There are many tender ways our hearts respond to change and loss...
Grief isn't just sadness. It can also show up as anger, guilt, anxiety, exhaustion, or even a deep sense of numbness and disconnection from ourselves and the world around us.
My Story
I lost my Mum when I was 24, and my Dad ten years later. Losing both of my parents by the age of 34 changed me in ways I could never have prepared for.
At times I've felt lost, anxious, and “too young” to be without them. Like the anchor that had been holding me steady has disappeared - leaving me feeling completely untethered.
What I longed for most in those years was support that didn’t make me feel like I had to “be strong” or “move on,” but instead gave me the space to be with my grief and find my own way through it, at my own pace.
This is what has led me on my own journey to supporting others in the ways I wish I'd had when trying to find my way through my grief...
"Grief and love are sisters, woven together from the beginning. Their kinship reminds us that there is no love that does not contain loss and no loss that is not a reminder of the love we carry for what we once held close."
- Francis Weller
Ways we can work together...
I offer a unique blend of grief counselling, grief tending, and breathwork coaching.
Together, these approaches allow us to work with your grief in different ways - tending to not only the mind but to the body, heart and soul too.
❂ Grief Counselling: Understanding the impact grief is having on your daily life, relationships, and identity. Exploring coping tools and ways to navigate the waves of grief when they arise.
❂ Individual Grief Tending: Moving beyond traditional talk therapy to incorporate ritual, nature wisdom, and spiritual practices. Creating space for your grief to be expressed, held and witnessed.
❂ Grief Tending Circles: Community spaces where all types of grief can be witnessed and held by others who understand and know what it means to grieve. Experience the healing power of shared stories and mutual support in my online and in person circles.
❂ Breathwork Coaching: Gentle techniques to support your nervous system when grief leaves you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your body. These practices help create space for difficult emotions while building resilience.
Grief support with me isn’t about “getting over it.” It’s about tending to your grief so you can live with more peace, presence, and connection.
losing your parents young...
Whilst my work supports all forms of grief, my personal experience of losing both parents has ignited a passion for supporting young adults navigating parent loss.
Losing a parent in your twenties or thirties is a unique experience that often falls through the cracks - you're no longer seen as a 'child' who needs protecting, yet you're often 'too young' for support that is aimed at older adults who have lost parents at a time when it's more 'expected'.
Having walked this path myself, I understand the loneliness of feeling like an orphan despite being grown up, and I'm here to offer the understanding I wish I'd received during those tender years of trying to adult whilst grieving like a child.
You don’t have to do this alone
Grief is heavy, but it can be lighter when it’s shared. You deserve a space where your loss is acknowledged, your feelings are valid, and your grief can be tended to with care.
If you’d like to explore whether working together feels right, I’d love to offer you a free 15-minute connection call.
There’s no pressure - just a chance to talk, and for you to see if this feels like the support you need.
