I have the privilege of leading our team of therapists at Children and families in Grief. I have been a part of Children and Families in Grief since it launched in 2011. We have worked with many children, young people and their families who have experienced the death of someone special to them. We offer a safe space and the opportunity to look at thoughts and feelings surrounding the loss and we support children, young people and families to work through their grief towards a positive future, this work is an honour to do.

I am a fully qualified member of the team. I am really pleased to have been given the opportunity to work with Children and Families in Grief.

I feel very strongly about the importance of the work we do and the benefits to the families, helping them through difficult times. I feel privileged that the families we work with are able to share their stories with us.

I am a fully qualified team member. I enjoy working with our CFG families and find it uplifting and rewarding to see communication open up between family members over our family visits and creative therapeutic weekend. 

It is a privilege to be part of this process.

I am a qualified member of the CFG team. I also work as a school counsellor with children and young people. I really enjoy meeting with the families, for them to have the time and space to reflect and remember their loved ones feels extremely important.

I feel privileged to have the opportunity to work within this very supportive organization with the all the families and members of the team.

My name is Wendy Elliott I first joined the team as a volunteer many years ago and saw what wonderful work the team provided for young people and their families around Devon, so when the opportunity came up to join the team as a sessional therapist I jumped at the chance.  I feel this service is so important to the families who contact us to find the help and support after losing someone special to them, it can sometimes be a very difficult and confusing time for all.

I am so proud to be working as a member of this dedicated team, with both the therapists and also the large voluntary group behind the scenes, I know it can makes all the difference to families who contact the service and become part of the Children and Families in Grief family. 

 I am a volunteer therapist with CFG, a mum to 3 boys and am currently training to be a counsellor having spent about 15 years working in education, both here in the UK and abroad.

The CFG family has been so supportive and welcoming since I started my journey with them, and it has been great to see how that sense of community and togetherness is shared with individuals and their families who reach out for what CFG has to offer. It is not all talk either- grief and loss are explored through a variety of ways and there is often laughter as well as tears.

I'm a volunteer therapist at CFG having completed my counselling training theory.  I feel very honoured to be a part of this incredible and supportive team of therapists and I feel privileged to spend time with the children and families we work alongside. 

I began my journey with CFG as a Treasurer and from there I became a Trustee. I am very passionate about the work that CFG do with families and children who have suffered a bereavement and this ultimately lead me to a change of career from a Lawyer to becoming a Qualified Counsellor. I am now a Volunteer Therapist with CFG alongside having my own private practice. CFG is a unique charity in that it offers help and support to the whole bereaved family as a group and also offers a family day for all of our families to meet and feel that they are not alone in their grief - I am honoured to be a part of the families' journey.
