Lucy Mpandawana

Psychotherapist

I work with people facing a range of emotional and life challenges, many of which involve experiences of loss. This may include bereavement, relationship breakdown, estrangement, changes in health, identity, or life circumstances, as well as feelings of anxiety, depression, or being stuck.

Loss can take many forms, and its impact is often felt long after the event itself. Whether you are anticipating a loss, coping with a recent change, or carrying the effects of a more historical experience that continues to affect your present, counselling can provide a space to explore your thoughts and feelings and make sense of what you are going through.

Areas of support

The issues listed below are not exhaustive. Often, challenges in our lives overlap, and the many layers of our emotions can become tangled and confusing. I recognise that every person’s lived experience is unique and the way in which we experience any one of these things is deeply personal.

Loss of a person or relationship

This may include bereavement, the end of a relationship, estrangement, or the shifting dynamics of family and friendships. These experiences can leave you grieving not only the person, but also the future you imagined, the role you once held, or the sense of security that relationship gave you.

Loss of Safety, Trust, or Sense of Self

Some losses are less visible to those around you, such as experiences that have affected your sense of safety or trust, struggles with body image, or eating difficulties can gradually erode your confidence and connection to yourself. You may feel as though you have lost the person you once were, or are unsure who you are now.

Loss Through Health and Life Transitions

Chronic health issues, changes in physical ability, fertility challenges, or other significant life transitions can bring a profound sense of loss. You may be grieving your previous body, your independence, or the life you expected to live.
