Free, therapist-led grief support in Buckhurst Hill
Grief affects us all differently. There’s no timeline, no right or wrong way to grieve, and often no words that feel quite enough. If you're looking for a free bereavement support group in Buckhurst Hill, you're very welcome to join us. Our group offers a safe, gentle space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported as you navigate life after loss. Grieving can feel incredibly lonely, but you don’t have to go through it alone.
This free group is led by experienced therapists and open to anyone who has experienced the death of someone close, whether recently or many years ago.
This group gives you space to:
Talk about your grief, however it feels for you
Connect with others who understand the pain of loss
Listen, reflect, and share without pressure
Learn tools for coping with difficult emotions
Feel less alone in your experience
Whether you’ve lost a parent, partner, child, sibling, friend, or someone else meaningful, you are welcome here.
The group is open to anyone aged 18 or over who has experienced a bereavement. You don’t need to be in therapy or have a referral to join.
We do ask that you let us know in advance if you'd like to attend, as places are limited to keep the group small and supportive.
Location: Cherry Tree Therapy Centre, Buckhurst Hill
When: Second Saturday of every month at 9:00 am
Cost: Free to attend
How to book: Please get in touch with us to reserve your place
Grief can be unpredictable, heavy, and deeply personal. This group is a space where you don’t have to pretend you’re fine, rush your healing, or explain your pain. You can expect:
A calm, confidential environment, where you’re met with kindness, not judgement
Free bereavement support group in Buckhurst Hill led by experienced counsellors
Space to share, reflect, or simply listen, there’s no pressure to talk
Support from others who understand, and the comfort of knowing you’re not alone
Simple tools for coping, grounded in emotional wellbeing and real-life experience
No, grief doesn’t follow a timeline. Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, you’re welcome to attend if you feel it would help.
The group is therapist-led and supportive, but it’s not the same as one-to-one counselling. It offers emotional connection, shared understanding, and gentle tools to help you cope.
No, there’s no pressure to talk. Many people choose to listen quietly until they feel ready to share, and that’s completely okay.
There is no charge to attend. The group is offered free of cost as part of our commitment to supporting those who are grieving.
The group takes place in the garden room with one step at the entrance, so unfortunately, it is not wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is a concern for you, please get in touch so we can discuss how best to support your needs.
We have bereavement counsellors who can offer individual counselling support. If you're looking for other grief resources, you might find Cruse Bereavement Support helpful; they offer a range of articles and helplines.
