Individual Sessions

Compassionate one-to-one support

I am not currently taking on new clients until November 2023. Please do apply below and you will be added to the waiting list. With love, Nici

Nici is sought after for her compassionate, gentle and holistic approach to grief. She combines her understanding of counselling, embodiment and trauma with more ancient practices of grief tending and ritual to create a journey that is deeply healing.

 

Your grief is welcome here

Three month online programme 

Within this three-month commitment, you will have seven sessions with Nici following the arc of a guided grief tending journey. Each person and situation are completely unique, and yet there are several universal themes that Nici will guide you to explore.

Themes include:

  • Creating your own relationship with grief

  • Understanding the wider cultural context of grief

  • Cultivating compassion and practices for being gentle with yourself

  • Exploring how grief is changing you and the landscape of your life

  • Learning embodiment practices to regulate and cultivate safety

  • Expressing the sometimes-difficult emotions: anger, guilt, shame

  • Building an ongoing relationship with grief and loss

  • Exploring how grief can reveal authenticity

  • Creating rituals for yourself

  • Moving forward, rather than moving on

Programme details

  • You will receive seven sessions throughout the three-month journey. Roughly once every two weeks. Each session is 60 minutes.

  • Sessions combine meditation, embodiment practice, deep listening and conversation, and guidance on grief tending practices.

  • People who are experiencing grief, whether because of a bereavement, relationship break up, health issue, unmet longings or any other type of grief. People who are interested in compassionately healing their grief and moving forward, integrating their grief into all of who they are. People who are willing to let grief change them and to understand grief as the potential initiation into more authenticity and a deeper connection with life.

  • Anytime! Nici has worked with people experiencing a recent and sudden loss, with people revisiting a grief from decades ago and for others the more subtle realisations of the ungrieved losses in their lives. Sometimes we recognise that if clients are in deep shock, then curating a programme with one of our embodiment practitioners first can be helpful before then embarking on a one-to-one journey with Nici. Get in touch if you have questions and we can explore what’s right for you.

  • Nici approaches these individual sessions in a completely unique way. She brings over a decade of experience with grief tending practices combined with her training in counselling, coaching, facilitation and psychology. Nici’s work is personal to you, yet she takes it into the wider context of how grief is needed medicine for these times.

  • From experience, this is long enough to create space for safety and trust and at the same time offers a time bound container which can support the process to evolve. Often people will choose to continue with a second three-month journey after the first ends, but the moment to pause, reflect and recommit is always useful.

  • £200 per month, three-month minimum.

  • Yes, you are welcome to book an initial 1 hour session to explore if this journey is right for you

  • “Individual sessions with Nici are real, genuine and extraordinarily open hearted. I am taken aback by what she is able to support me in discovering about my grief. I feel relief at no longer pretending to have ‘processed’ my losses, but instead have allowed them to be integrated into all that I am. I feel genuinely lucky to have stumbled upon Nici and her grief work; I am richer in my understanding of myself, my losses and my love because of working with her."

    — Sarah

  • “I really look forward to my one-to-one sessions with Nici. She is helping me understand that there's more to grief than pain and her approach has resonated with me since day one. Rather than the emptiness I felt when I lost my sister, I am intrigued to explore this new range of emotions with Nici as my guide.”

    — Tom

  • “Nici has incredible talent and gift. I am in awe of how she can open her heart and hold me with so much love and compassion. I have learned so much from her and felt totally held in our one-to-one sessions. Nici has made this bumpy journey I am on a little easier, and for that I cannot thank her enough.”

    — Camilla

  • “Nici’s sessions are a blessing in a world where grief can be so misunderstood and judged. Through our work together I was able to find a space to be myself in my darkest times and I learned that the strength of my feelings were not something to be ‘managed’ but to be heard and seen as they deserved to be. Grief can be a long and lonely journey but with Nici’s help and compassion I have accepted that I don’t have to be so alone. We can share our stories and our tears and somehow through trust and an open (if broken) heart, we can mend together.”

    — Tanya

  • “Nici has profoundly changed my relationship with grief and shown me we were never meant to do this alone. Her gentle wisdom, compassion and unwavering love create a sacred space to nurture and tend for this wild thing called grief - and in doing so, find moments of peace to open your heart again. Essential.”

    — Sharon
