Support and togetherness through Bereavement

Join experienced Integrative Psychotherapist Celia for a 5-session emotional support group that offers compassion, connection and guidance through the experience of grief and loss. Whether your journey is recent or long-standing, this is a safe space to talk, identify positive coping strategies and feel connection with others.

Celia’s approach combines Therapy with Mindfulness, Grief and Bereavement theory and Solution Focused Therapy. Therefore, the focus of the sessions will be guided by the group members. Celia will spend time getting to know the group and understanding what they would like to gain from the sessions.

It will be a gentle, nurturing space designed to help you explore your emotions and gain valuable support and coping tools.

Stepping Stones - Friday 4th September
WORKSHOP
Understanding Relationships Better

This workshop is available on Friday 4th September or Friday 18th September
Participants may book one date only.

Our relationships shape how we experience the world and understanding our relationship patterns can help us build stronger, healthier connections with others.
In this gentle and supportive session, we will explore how our early experiences can influence the way we relate to family, friends, and partners throughout our lives. Using simple activities, group discussion and personal reflection, we will look at different relationship styles and consider how these may show up in our everyday lives.
There is no expectation to share personal experiences unless you feel comfortable doing so. The focus is on increasing self-awareness, recognising our strengths, and identifying small, practical ways to nurture more secure and fulfilling relationships.
The session includes calming grounding exercises at the beginning and end to help participants feel settled and leave feeling relaxed and supported.

Stepping Stones Group (18+yrs)
The Stepping Stones group offers a supportive and friendly environment to help you understand and manage your experience of anxiety and depression. Anyone experiencing signs or symptoms of anxiety and/or depression is welcomed and can join in the workshops and discussions as much as they are comfortable to do so.
The group is run in an informal, drop-in style where you can choose to attend the sessions that feel best for you. There is no expectation to attend every session, though you are welcome to.
Each session includes a 60-minute workshop around a variety of mental health and wellbeing topics that offer people practical guidance, strategies and support.

Who is the course for?
This course is designed for individuals who have been impacted by breast cancer, whether they are newly diagnosed, currently undergoing treatment, or several years beyond their treatment journey. The group provides a supportive space for participants to explore and process their personal experiences at their own pace.

While the course focuses on each individual’s personal journey, it also encourages connection within the group. Participants will have the opportunity to share, listen, and support one another, helping to foster a sense of understanding, community, and collective strength.

Outline of the 6 Week Course -
I have designed a 6 Week Course that matches the themes that I discovered in my research. In these sessions, we will work as a group to explore the experience of breast cancer, process emotions, and share thoughts. We will use creative techniques to process these experiences. The therapist will share psychoeducation to help you make sense of your journey. There will be relaxation techniques and coping strategies included. These sessions will include refreshments and time to chat at the end to encourage a sense of community.

Session 1 – Theme: Establishing group connection and shared values. Expressing emotions and experiences.
Session 2 - Theme: Navigating challenges during treatment. Identifying and overcoming obstacles.
Session 3 -Theme: Managing anxiety and worry.
Session 4 - Theme: Processing grief and change.
Session 5 - Theme: Connection and support systems. Finding strength in Community
Session 6 - Theme: Building resilience through self-care. Honouring the journey whilst embracing new beginnings.

About Celia
I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. I work in private practice (Rothley Counselling and Psychotherapy) as well as being an associate for Sunrise Wellbeing. I currently work 1:1 with clients as well as group.
I am integrative trained which means I use a range of theories, techniques, and approaches (Person Centred, Attachment and CBT) and combine these to fit the client. I am an ethical and professional therapist registered with the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Why do I want to set up this group?
I have worked within the area of breast cancer for a number of years (charities, NHS and Private Practice). As a therapist I undertook research during my MSc to find out about the impact of breast cancer during Covid-19. It was this research that has fuelled my passion project to create a community for those impacted by breast cancer.

What is my experience in facilitating groups?
With a background in teaching, I have planned, organised, and facilitated numerous groups both for adults and children. I have completed a creative course that has helped me to develop these skills further and apply it therapeutically. I am excited to work with clients in a therapeutic and creative capacity.
