“Counselling helped me find a way to live with the pain”

– Ruth

Everyone’s experience of losing somebody significant is different. You may experience physical symptoms as well as emotional ones. Your mood might swing between feelings of despair and anger, and intense sadness and fear. You might feel tired and lethargic or hyperactive and unable to settle.

We believe that by talking through your thoughts and feelings with a trained support worker, you may be helped to find new meaning, a renewed sense of purpose and a way forward.

There are no time limits. You can ask for support whenever you wish, be it weeks, months or years following a bereavement. The service is available for as long as it is felt appropriate by yourself and your support worker.

How it works

All services are provided free of charge, and are not means-tested.

The service is available to all users of Treetops Hospice services and people registered with a GP practice in Derby city or Southern Derbyshire.

Access to the adult bereavement service is by self-referral only. Please phone 0115 949 6944 during our opening hours (8.30am-4pm Monday-Thursday, 8.30am-3.30pm Friday).

We will arrange an assessment with you, at which the most appropriate form of support for you can be discussed.
