Therapy and creative practice for when life hasn’t gone to plan

Grieve what’s lost. Tend what’s here. Create what’s next.

When life hasn’t gone to plan.

You did the things you were supposed to do.

And somewhere along the way, life wrote a different story:

The family that didn’t arrive. The diagnosis. The accident. The redundancy. The childhood that shouldn’t have happened the way it did. The person you love becoming someone you care for. The partner who stopped reaching for your hand. The marriage that looks fine from the outside. The midlife morning you woke and didn’t recognise your own life.

BELLA CRANMORE

UKCP REG. MBACP

I’m Bella Cranmore, a UKCP registered integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor working in Brighton & Hove and online worldwide, with individuals and couples.

I help people grieve the life they planned, tend the life they have, and create the life that’s still possible, through depth psychotherapy and creative practice.

This is quiet, honest, sometimes demanding work. It suits adults in established lives who are ready to look clearly at what has been lost, and curious, even faintly, about what might still be made. Because underneath the loss, there is still a Wild and Precious Life, waiting to be lived.

I can help you explore...

flexible, convenient & confidential

I work online with people across the UK and across the world, and also in person in Brighton & Hove.

For many people, meeting online provides a flexible, convenient and discreet option that can fit within a busy schedule.

I offer regular sessions between 8am and 8pm UK time online, typically agreeing a set time each week for consistency.

My fee is £65 per 50 minute session for individuals (with limited concessions available), and from £85 per session for couples.
