Regrettably we have paused all new referrals into our adult counselling service. This comes following an unprecedented and unexpectedly high number of referrals over several months, much more so than we have had before. You can find out more here.
This is not a permanent closure, it is a pause in counselling referrals; all of our support groups and monthly activities are running as usual, and we encourage you to take a look at our groups and creative sessions, or to sign up to our monthly support listings email so you can keep up to date with our services.
Please complete the form below to be alerted of the re-opening of this service.
Our counselling referrals are open. If you are ready to take the first step to support yourself through counselling, please get in touch with Sarah, our Therapy Service Lead to express an interest, or complete the referral form in this link You can email Sarah on [email protected] and she can send you a referral form and accompanying information.
Zephyr’s offers a specialist bereavement counselling service, designed to support both individuals and couples that have been touched by pregnancy loss or the death of a baby or child.
Our counselling service is for bereaved adults (parents, other family members and older siblings aged 18+), and is currently only available for those based in Nottingham or Nottinghamshire. We offer 12 free sessions of counselling, giving you the chance to really feel held and be heard.

Held in our warm and welcoming therapy room at Sherwood Community Centre, these sessions are suitable for both couples and individuals. Our team of counsellors have extensive experience with bereavement and grief; supporting your exploration of the experiences and feelings following a loss. We provide a non-judgemental, safe and open space that is centred around you.
Our therapy room is upstairs on the first floor of the community centre. If you have accessibility needs please let us know when you make your enquiry. We may also be able to offer sessions online or at an alternative location.
Zephyr’s work with 5 qualified bereavement counsellors, Andy, Rachael, Kymm, Manisha and Martin.
Each of our counsellors are experienced in supporting people through child bereavement and baby loss. All of our counsellors have their own professional supervision, to work mindfully within the boundaries of their professional relationship with you, supporting you with compassion and sensitivity. Our counselling service is highly confidential and operates diligently within the frameworks and guidance for UKCP and BACP registered therapists.
Our counselling referrals are open, however please be aware that our waiting list is at least 5 months.
