My name is Gerry Dowds, I am a qualified counsellor in private practice. I have been working in a bereavement role for 10+ years. I have also worked as a listener and Supervisor for Cruse Bereavement, which involved supporting people through their grief.

As well as supporting people through baby loss and adolescents through anxiety or depression.

I also offer general and couples counselling. The most important thing for me is that my clients feel they are able to sit with me and know that there is a safe space without judgement.

 I am generally based in the Shirley area of Southampton and can offer a free initial session to see if I am the right fit for you.

Working with Trauma and Grief is my passion and privilege, supporting families with loss and the trauma’s surrounding loss.

I am also an EMDR Trauma trained therapist, so have the depth of experience often needed to support and help families work through the circumstances surrounding sudden loss.

Also working with several organisations/charities that focus specifically on Bereavement/Loss and Trauma.

My approach is flexible and non-judgemental, meeting people where they are and assisting them in finding ways of living with their loss.
