Death Preparation

Prepare with honesty and care

Space to talk about what matters most, from your wishes to your legacy, at your own pace.

Who Can Benefit from Death Preparation?

This work may support you if you're:

  • someone living with a life-limiting diagnosis

  • a person who wants to plan ahead and feel more at peace

  • a family who need help starting difficult conversations

  • a person who want to leave something meaningful behind

WHAT TO EXPECT?

WHAT TO EXPECT?

    1. We begin where you are. We talk about what is on your mind and what you would like to feel. We cover the practical and psychological.

    2. We explore and record your wishes. This can include your hopes for the end of life, conversations you want to have, and legacy projects, as well as what happens when you’re gone.

    3. We put it in place. Your plans are gently put into words and shared with the people who need to know. I can also support with legal processes like power of attorney.

  • Structured sessions for individuals or families who want to prepare practically for death.

    May include:

    • Psychological exploration of fears, meaning, and unfinished conversations

    • Advance care and legacy planning support

    • Guidance for family communication

    • Written summary + reflection exercises

  • A therapeutic end-of-life preparation programme focusing on psychological integration, meaning, and emotional closure.

    • Legacy project guidance (letters, recordings, memory archive)

    • Emotional processing and existential therapy

    • Family preparation and relationship repair support

    • Optional ritual or reflection practice

  • End of life planning support is priced at my therapy rate of £165 per hour, with discounts available for online sessions. I offer a sliding scale for individuals with low income who would otherwise be unable to afford support.

  • Not at all. I support people who are planning, or expecting, death in hospital or hospice care.

    • Continuous Support: Unlike hospital staff who shift duties or manage multiple patients, a doula stays with you.

    • Advocacy & Communication: They help explain medical terms in plain language and assist you in speaking up to make informed choices.

    • Family and Friends Support: They guide your loved ones on how to help, ensuring they also feel included and rested.

  • It’s with those who have previous trauma (either medical related or otherwise) where my dual qualification really shines.

    My work is Trauma-informed, attachment-focused and person-centred. Consent, choice and dignity are at the centre of everything I do.

    I combine therapy techniques and doula skills in order to ensure you are held psychologically and physically.

  • I am based in Hornchurch, and support people in Hornchurch, Romford and surrounding towns, East London, Brentwood, Basildon, Billericay and some areas in South Essex.

    I support people in Queens Hospital; Romford, Basildon Hospital, Broomfield Hospital; Chelmsford, Newham General Hospital, Whipps Cross Hospital; Leytonstone, Homerton Hospital; Hackney and The Royal London; Whitechapel.

  • Something you create to leave with the people you love, such as letters, recordings, memory books, recipes or stories. We shape it around what matters to you.
