Quality Time Counselling - Support Group Sessions

Lisa from Quality Time Counselling will be hosting these two group sessions on Monday 10th November. Booking is essential and places are only £10 each.

This group will be suitable for any adults who are experiencing a loss of someone or something. We all grieve differently for different reasons, such as a loss of a loved one, loss of employment, loss of status, loss of a relationship, loss of a role. We can all share the loss we are experiencing and share what can help to come to terms with that loss and start taking those first steps forward.
