About kevinryan

Let me introduce myself. My name is Kevin Ryan and I am a trained and experienced bereavement counsellor with Cruse Bereavement Care. With Cruse I have counselled many clients in various stages of bereavement, working with people who are suffering multiple losses or deaths of long term partners, parents and children. I have also worked cross culturally with clients from Indian, Chinese and Latin American backgrounds. Recently, I have been specialising in clients who have lost loved ones through suicide or unexplained deaths.

Counselling, as you know, can help people move through the various stages of grief, helping them face the new would that the loss has thrust them into. Even a quick chat can help the bereaved normalise some of the extreme emotions they are experiencing. For many it is a relief to find that they are not going mad with grief.
I offer to help my clients to move on to the next stage of their lives.
