Specialist psychological therapy for grief, trauma and loss, visible and invisible
When life wounds or depletes us, we don’t only grieve what happened. We can lose our footing, our sense of self, and sometimes our mental health. The Grief Clinic helps you call yourself into presence, and recover, heal and return to yourself, anchored in meaning, purpose and connection.

About the clinic
Loss changes us. Love does too.

Founded by Dr Chloe Paidoussis-Mitchell, Chartered Counselling Psychologist and author of The Loss Prescription, The Grief Clinic™ is a specialist London practice dedicated to understanding the many ways loss changes our lives. It is the home of her approach, Calling Ourselves Into Presence.
We offer psychological therapy for bereavement, trauma and traumatic grief, chronic illness, disability, relationship breakdown and the emotional difficulties that often accompany profound life changes, including anxiety, depression, burnout and loneliness (see when life falls apart).
Through individual therapy, educational seminars, professional training and community Grief Circles, we provide compassionate, psychologically informed support that recognises the whole person.
Our work is not simply about coping with what has been lost, but about rediscovering connection, meaning and a sense of self as we find our way forward.
