Professional development that encourages reflection,

Founded by an experienced specialist bereavement practitioner and mental health social worker, Grief Practice Institute exists to bridge the gap between caring intention and confident, effective grief-informed practice.
We know that many therapists, counsellors, and healthcare professionals feel underprepared when it comes to supporting grieving clients.
Most were never taught how to navigate the complexity of grief in their original training — especially grief that falls outside of neat stages, tidy timelines, or visible losses.
Our mission is to change that
Our approach combines:
Contemporary grief theories and models, rooted in current research and real-world complexity
Applied practice skills, including assessment, intervention, and treatment planning tools
Reflective development, helping practitioners grow in presence, confidence, and ethical care
Practical integration, with resources and guidance to apply learning directly into client work
Whether you're a mental health therapist, counsellor, or
healthcare professional:
We’re here to help you become a more grief-informed, compassionate, and effective support for those navigating loss
Because your clients deserve more than outdated models
And you deserve to feel clear, confident, and well-equipped in your work
