Adult Counselling and Bereavement Services

Adult bereavement services are available to anyone who lives in Highland over the age of 18, who has been bereaved by the death of a significant person in their life, regardless of the cause of death.

Grief is different for everyone and there is no right or wrong way to feel. At the Hospice, we offer a range of supportive spaces where you can talk, listen, or simply be alongside others who understand what you’re going through.

These include group sessions such as Sharing Space and Grief Café, where people come together in a safe and welcoming environment. Many find comfort in connecting with others who have experienced loss and in taking things at their own pace.

Through engaging with these services, you may also be offered individual counselling. This provides a confidential, one-to-one space to explore your thoughts and feelings with the support of a trained counsellor, based on your needs.

If you have been recently bereaved and are looking for practical advice or information, you can find our bereavement pack here. It brings together helpful guidance, key things to consider, and sources of support for the weeks and months ahead.

If you’re unsure where to start, we’re here to help you find the support that feels right for you.

If you wish to make use of the service, or would like to discuss any aspect of what we offer please contact us by emailing bereavement@highlandhospice.org.uk

Referrals can be made using our online form. If you have any queries about making a referral, please contact us.

There are many ways to remember someone important to you. Whether they were cared for by the Hospice or were a lifelong supporter, you may wish to honour their memory in a way that feels meaningful.
