Coaching After Loss

Hi, my name is Suzanne and I established Coaching After Loss after losing my 17-year-old son Samuel to suicide in 2020.When the rug was literally pulled from under me it made me reconsider my whole life picture. All I valued was destabilised, I was overwhelmed with grief but I knew I needed to forge ahead with purpose.
After over 30 years in the NHS, firstly as a nurse and then in development roles, I wanted to combine my passion for caring and my coaching experience to support others following loss.
Through my own experiences I understand what it is to undergo major losses and life events that rock you to the core. I see the huge benefits of having an independent sounding board and safe space to navigate my new world. I have started the journey to transform my life and now I want to support others to join me.
Normalising grief is a key part of my mission.
I'm also working with the NHS and government bodies to bring about change in mental health services for under 18s – bringing the parental voice to this work is my mission.
Suicide loss in adolescents especially is devastating and I will be my son's voice and legacy to bring about change
