Counselling is a consistent, supportive, relationship in which you can share the impact of missing-loss on you, and your life. Each counselling session is dedicated time for you.
Counselling will offer you a chance to connect with a trustworthy person, who is focussed on the aspects of missing-loss that you choose to attend to. Your counsellor will support you to understand the present-day impacts, in the context of your past, and to envision your future life alongside missing-loss.
We are here to help with any experience of missing-loss, at any time in your life, for example:
- you currently go missing from home for periods of time, or you used to go missing in the past
- you're thinking about going missing
- you are ‘missing’ to your family, loved-ones, community or carers after leaving, fleeing, or cutting contact
- your loved-one has cut, or lapsed, contact and you don't know where they are
- you have experience of going missing briefly, or for long periods of time, related to exploitation, county lines, trafficking, or modern slavery, or your child, or other loved-one, has experienced any of these things
- your loved-one has gone missing suddenly for days, weeks, months, years, a lifetime – this may be through suspected accident, violence, suicide, disaster, military conflict, migration, or the reasons may be unclear
- your loved-one's body was found after they were missing for any length of time
