Bereavement Counselling in Nottinghamshire, Derby, and Mansfield

We have established connections with a selection of bereavement counselling organisations across Nottinghamshire and Derby and can support you in getting in touch with the group best suited to your need.

Firstly, we may suggest that your General Practitioner or Minister of the Church could give you guidance and support in the diﬃcult times immediately following bereavement.

Additionally, we can put you in contact with one of the local or nationally recognised self-help or counselling groups which are run by individuals who will have either been through experiences similar to yours or can put you in contact with those who have.

Below is a list of groups we trust and have had great feedback about from our customers.
