Frequently asked questions
Is grief coaching and the Life After Loss programme the same thing?
It usually is to begin with at Compassion Waves Partnership – your grief coach, Joanna, will begin walking with you through the Life After Loss programme, an initial six-session course. Optionally, depending on your needs, there is the choice of an extended 6-month or 12-month support programme.
The Life After Loss programme is underpinned by The STILL Method of coaching; your coach is a certified STILL Method grief coach. Each stage of The STILL Method and the Life After Loss course are designed to help you process your grief in a gentle, healthy, empowering way at your own pace.
Exceptions are one-off sessions which may be offered in certain circumstances outlined on the pet grief support page.
How will we work together in partnership?
There are options of one-to-one sessions and group spaces, online or in-person (Kent Coast and London):
One-to-one coaching: Gentle, bespoke grief support from our certified grief coach, Joanna. Over six initial Life After Loss sessions, your coaching is bespoke and personalised, tailored to your individual needs and context. Extended, longer-term coaching is available as an option later.
Group spaces: Shared support and connection with peers as our certified grief coach, Joanna, leads you together through six initial Life After Loss sessions within a small, intimate and private group. Extended, longer-term support is available as an option later.
In-person or Online: You can join online coaching sessions with our certified grief coach, Joanna, from wherever you are in the world, whether for one-to-one coaching or in a group space. In-person sessions are available (Kent Coast and London UK), either in a private therapy room or in your own home environment where appropriate.
