Forget Me Not
Forget Me Not is a private (fee paying) bereavement counselling service for adults in north east Essex grieving the death of a loved one.
The death of a family member or friend can be devastating and can bring about stronger emotions than you have previously experienced. Grieving is a part of bereavement, and it is unique and personal to you. It can be a stressful time, which you will cope with in your own way, and support from others might help.
For many people, talking to the people around them can help manage grief. However, some people may find they benefit from support from someone not closely involved in their life.
We offer bereavement counselling on a one-to-one basis, either in person, over the phone or by video link, based on your preference. Our goal is to support you as you navigate your grief, exploring your thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviour, in a safe and confidential space.
To request a booking for a private (fee paying) bereavement session with our Forget Me Not counsellors, please fill out a short referral form by clicking the button below.
Our team will then be in touch to book you in for the next available appointment to suit you. If you have any questions, get in touch by calling 01206 848163 or emailing forgetmenot@sthelena.org.uk
About Forget Me Not in support of St Helena
Forget Me Not is a private (fee paying) bereavement counselling service run by St Helena Hospice. All of the profits raised from this service are reinvested into running St Helena Hospice’s core services to the local community, providing end of life care to the people of north east Essex at home, over the phone through the 24/7 SinglePoint phoneline and at the Hospice.
Only 20% of St Helena’s income comes from the NHS. That means 80% of the income needed to run St Helena is raised through the local community and St Helena’s commercial and social enterprise ventures, including our private bereavement service, commercial cleaning business, arts and craft classes and home care business.
At St Helena we're supporting more people than ever before in our community, but our income is currently not enough to meet the needs of the people that we care for.
By using our expertise to provide a private (fee based) bereavement service, we can generate more income to help St Helena continue to provide its vital services to local people facing dying, death and bereavement, when and where they need it.
Forget Me Not is separate from St Helena’s charitable bereavement service which continues to be provided free of charge to adults and children facing bereavement.
