About the Course
This CPD is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to better understand and work with clients experiencing grief and loss. Whether you work with adults or children this CPD aims to enhance your ability as a hypnotherapist to support clients through one of life’s most challenging experiences.
During the CPD, we will explore the psychological and neurological aspects of grief, as well as practical strategies for supporting clients in a safe and compassionate way. You will gain an understanding of the different types of loss and grief, the stages of grieving, and what happens in the brain during this process. We will also cover how to work effectively with clients of different ages, including specialist considerations for infant loss and pet bereavement.
Grief is a universal experience, yet deeply personal and unique to each individual. Understanding the grieving process is essential for any therapist aiming to provide effective, empathetic, and ethical support. This CPD will give you the confidence to navigate these sensitive situations and tailor your sessions appropriately.

AfSFH / Vicki Lowe
As a younger adult, Vicki struggled with anxiety and low mood and first discovered Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy when seeking help for herself. It literally changed her life and well-being in so many positive ways that she decided to become qualified as a hypnotherapist herself, training at CPHT Brighton, and has since then assisted hundreds of families through their grief journey. This includes helping children to cope with and process loss, enabling them to understand and regain more control of their feelings and to develop positive coping strategies.
Although grief is a specialist area, Vicki is dedicated to helping others make positive change and works with a wide range of other concerns such as anxiety, stress, trauma, depression and low confidence/self esteem. She is a member of the Youth Fairy team.
