Cruse Bereavement Support – South Hants, Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole (SHBCP)
We offer one to one sessions with one of our trained bereavement supporters. These usually take place over the phone or via a video call. You’ll normally see one of our volunteers between one and six times.
In one to one sessions you can explore your grief with your bereavement supporter. You can talk about the person who died, how their death is affecting you, and how you are coping. Using counselling skills, your supporter will help you to understand what you are going through and develop coping strategies.
One to one support offers a safe, confidential space for you to explore emotions. It helps to you explore feelings and thoughts and make sense of your world. It can be very helpful if you are feeling a lot of distress.
Please note due to high demand for our services, there is a waiting list for one to one support. Please call us to find out more about our support services and how you can help you. If our volunteers are not available to take your call please call our national helpline, free on 0808 808 1677.
