Rebecca Lamin

I offer face to face therapy from my base in South Birmingham

I also offer online counselling. 

I aim to be as flexible as possible.

I specialise in counselling adults who are suffering from a bereavement or other significant loss.

Grief can feel over-whelming and never-ending. It can be a very lonely place to be, especially when (well-meaning) family members and friends want you to “move on” or “get over it” and hurry up and get back to being the person you were before the loss. If only it was that easy.

Loss can leave you with a roller coaster of powerful emotions at any time, which can feel destabilising. I can offer a safe, non-judgemental space to help you process your grief. I will walk with you while you explore your grief, however it looks, however long it takes. I will be led by you and go at your pace.

I’m in my 50’s and like many people my age I have experienced a range of major life transitions and personal loss. Through my counselling over the years, I’ve seen how there are  many significant life events and changes that happen that can feel like a bereavement, such as the loss of a relationship, job, or life changing illness. 

Unresolved loss or grief from the past can affect our ability to get the most out of our life now. Together, we can put things into perspective so that you can see a way forward.

I’ve been counselling for over 15 years, working with clients from a range of cultures and backgrounds. My interest in bereaved adults was sparked when I worked for a bereavement charity. 

I soon realised what rewarding work it is, helping someone stuck in their grief, unable to see a future without their loss, get to a place that feels ok.

I have a diploma in integrative counselling and adhere to the BACP ethical framework. I offer weekly or fortnightly counselling sessions, which are for 50 minutes.

Please feel free to contact me to check my availability. I offer a free, 20 minute telephone call to give us the opportunity to ask each other questions and to see if you’d like to work with me.

Our first session is an opportunity for you to share some of your concerns with me and for me to find out what your expectations and desired outcome of therapy are. 

We will complete an assessment together exploring your GP details, support network, coping strategies, your overall health and presenting issues.
