Free, professional support through grief with a qualified bereavement counsellor
We support organisations in helping those dealing with grief by providing them with a safe space for bereaved people to be able to share their story, explore their feelings and be supported by a qualified bereavement counsellor. In addition to this, GriefChat can help bereaved people to consider if they need additional support and where to get this from.
Bereavement will impact everyone differently, though often deeply. The wait that many are forced to face for professional support can have detrimental effects on an individual’s personal life, work life and own self-care.
Early intervention and counselling can help to prevent or lessen further mental health challenges that can come with grief. That’s why organisations from bereavement charities to insurance providers across the country have already chosen to incorporate GriefChat into their own support plan for bereaved people.
GriefChat gives any bereaved person the opportunity to speak with a qualified, professional bereavement counsellor via online instant chat service, Monday to Friday 09:00 – 21:00 (GMT), no matter where they are in the world at no cost to them.
We can also provide one to one counselling and information on support services in their location, as well as provide resources and information on how to better support bereaved people and provide an understanding on different types of grief.
What makes GriefChat different?
At the point of recruitment, all of our counsellors carry a minimum qualification of a Level 4 Counselling Diploma with a minimum experience of 100 practice hours, with many achieving degree and postgraduate qualifications in this area.
Additionally, our counsellors must undergo professional supervision and provide evidence of continuing professional development. We also provide ongoing specialist training and development for them, so they can continue to provide specialist support across many areas of grief.
You will always receive the same high-level dedication and professionalism on GriefChat, no matter which counsellor you end up talking to.
How does GriefChat work?
Most popular by far is the GriefChat instant chat box, which makes it possible to speak with a counsellor Monday to Friday, 09:00 – 21:00 (GMT).
