Sara Donnelly - Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist

I went through the Grief Recovery Program with Sara at the end of last year as a result of having lost my beloved wife a year earlier to Covid. The program, although hard at times, was incredibly helpful. Sara was most supportive, encouraging and patient throughout the whole process. Having a structure and an end product definitely worked for me, I felt much more than having a similar number of Talking Therapy sessions. Would definitely recommend to anyone suffering from grief whatever the cause.

I have just completed the GRM program with Sara and I am so pleased I had the opportunity to work with her. Despite working through online 1:1 sessions, I felt like Sara really was with me every step of the way. She really wanted me to succeed and it helped enormously to have someone so experienced and giving of herself. Sara is a remarkable person and should be available on prescription to anyone needing to heal a loss!

I went through the Grief Recovery program with Sara. It was not easy as it was also during the pandemic (whilst working in a hospital) and I felt as if my world had been turned upside down. Sara helped me deal with a lot of things and I am inordinately grateful for her support and help. She was kind and understanding. I was very cynical at the beginning of the program as I knew I needed help, but didn't think that talking would necessarily help me. The structured form of the program really helped me put things in perspective. It allowed me reflective time between sessions to consider the things we had discussed. Sara was very flexible and whilst it was an online support course, one session I found very difficult (when I nearly gave up) , she suggested I came to her house and we did it face to face - which helped enormously. Thank you Sara for your kindness . My words do not do justice to the kindness and sanctuary you offered. I cannot begin to recommend you highly enough.

For anyone unsure wether to do the grief recovery programme with Sara.. DO IT. You will not regret it. Having lost my partner 8 months ago at a young age, leaving behind myself and our 10month old daughter Sara helped me to feel lighter and helped to lift my sadness. She is a lovely lady, so warm, friendly and welcoming. I couldnt recommend her enough.

I came across Sara on line almost by accident having had a very bad time isolating in lockdown. My husband died six years ago and I had never been able to come to terms with the way he died. Sara was instantly interested, caring and so willing to share her time to help me through the steps of this amazing grief course. She was available throughout the eight week course and frequently contacted me in between sessions to check I was ok. With her patience and help I have learned so much about myself, and the process of grieving. I can now start to face the future with more confidence and peace remembering all the good things I shared with my husband and not always remembering the dark days and images. I had tried conventional counselling which did not help but this course has a very interactive component and I would highly recommend it to anyone lost in grief. Thank you Sara for everything.
