Grief, Loss and Change Training & Coaching​
​
The purpose of this training and coaching is to better equip managers and employees to understand and manage these stressful challenges when they occur.
Timely and effective support is essential to maintain well-being and performance at all times but especially in times of high emotional stress.
I provide both proactive and responsive training and coaching around Grief, Loss and Change.
​
Most employers buy in to EAP services, however, employees do not always trust this as a resource and it may not always be the right path for individuals. This is supported by my research findings where HR Directors reported this theme and the poor uptake of EAP services.
​
Caring for my mother, and her death in 2020, was an incredibly stressful and challenging time. My coaching training, personal experiences and further studies around grief and loss, as well as my client grief coaching, have given me a solid grounding in working with grief, loss and change in its many forms - from the death of a loved one, colleague, or pet, to the loss of a relationship and changes such as redundancy or retirement.
My bespoke training and coaching helps organisations better support its employees, and help those supporting employees, so they may restore themselves following the stress of grief, loss and change and return to their healthiest selves.
