Overview

Bereavement counselling can be helpful for anyone who is struggling to cope with the death of a loved one. Counsellors can provide support and guidance as you work through your grief. They can also offer practical advice on coping with the practical aspects of bereavement, such as arranging a funeral.


Most people will experience grief at some point in their lives. Grief is often described as a journey with different stages as we come to terms with our loss. Grief counselling can help us understand and work through our grief.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
