You may have lost someone or something in your life. Perhaps this is a situation you are navigating currently, or you are still trying to find your way through a past experience. 

 

Grief, Loss and Bereavement isn’t always linked with losing a person. Over the years of coaching clients, grief and loss experiences have been linked to the loss of an opportunity like a career, feritility or the end of an relationship. 

​

For many clients, a parent or partner who needs caring for, particularly when faced with loss of mind or terminal illness has its own grieving experience, as you navigate the shifts in roles and feelings. 

 

You may be someone who needs support to guide yourself through grief and loss,  dealing with a long term health condition that has felt like its prevented you reaching a particular goal or living a lifestyle. This has its own unique experience of grief  and you might be feeling stuck  or misunderstood in accepting the life you have now. 

 

Nature coaching has been additionally helpful to those impacted by adversity in which you find yourself with a sense of grief for the life you could have had, before the event or experience occurred. 

 

Whilst not therapy, Life and/or Career coaching for loss and bereavement can be therapeutic, validating and healing in nature. 

​

This isn’t about ‘trying to fix’ you, I appreciate that grief can come in all sorts of shapes, feelings and time. However coaching does help you focus on the present and future, supporting you to be restorative, compassionate and caring to yourself now and find beauty, joy and hope in the life you have to lead. 

 

You may not be affected by your grief everyday, but at times it can feel all consuming, leave you feeling disconnected or totally catch you off guard. 

 

Nature offers a really beautiful environment and explorative space for our sessions. Nature is very much a co-coach and mentor when working with you. Time connected with Nature offers natural calming and reconnecting experiences. You might currently struggle with 'feeling real' or 'present' and our work together in Nature will offer experiences to help bring your senses back, as well as process emotions. 

 

Everyone's experience of grief and loss is different and I’ll meet you where you are.

 

Our focus together is to help you reconnect with yourself and the things you find meaning and purpose in, where you might feel a little lost or disconnected or overwhelmed  right now or at times. 

​

Coaching in Nature can be a place to be sad, and also find joy in a moment. Clients share how important this space can be for themselves. From sessions alone providing simple structure where life has felt like it is lacking this, to offering space in which to make sense of an often nonsensical experience like losing a friend or loved one. 

 

Life or Career coaching gives a focus to help create actions and intentions, whilst being wise and caring to yourself as you live within the emotional mosaic of grief, knowing your needs and feelings might change from one day to the next.

Through Nature connection and emotional regulation techniques, supported by psycho-education. You’ll have the opportunity to find ways to respond and help yourself when feelings arise, that need support. 

Learning to manage your energy, not just navigate time. 

 

Connection forms a central part of working together, ensuring you have your own ‘woodland’ of support, from connecting to friends and family - or finding new spaces or services. Or discovering or reconnecting with hobbies, interests and creative projects for expression and celebrating of life. 

​

Life Coaching helps you to reframe and vision your life directions and choices, helping define realistic, trauma informed goals and intentions in the context of grief's non-linear processing. 

 

There will be no expectation to be this or that. To reach a benchmark at a specific time. Yet coaching will help you find routine, rhythm, focus and hopes to activate life and purpose in a new or evolving way. 

 

Amongst the trees we’ll find metaphor, explore ritual in a way that’s right for you, learn from nature’s own cycles of energy, seasons, life, recovery and loss. To help you find your own way, in these times. 

 

Whilst there will be space for remembering, honouring and exploring your past [regrets, sadness, grief, anger or hurt]. We won’t dwell here for too long. With every exploration, returning us back to the present and helping making a difference for your future. Even if you have no idea on how that might look right now. 

 

Expected the unexpected to emerge as we leave space for it.  Coaching in Nature from private woods near Ripon (March to October) or in walk and talk sessions across West and North Yorkshire.
