The Psychologist of Grief, Invisible Loss and the Return to Self
For over 25 years I have worked at the intersection of grief, loss, and the search for self - helping individuals navigate profound personal loss, and helping leaders and organisations understand what invisible loss is costing their people and their culture. My work is clinically rigorous, humanly warm, and grounded in a framework that actually changes lives.

Who I work with
About Dr Chloe
I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist who has spent over 25 years working at the intersection of grief, existential psychology, and the neuroscience of emotional healing. I am the author of The Loss Prescription (HarperCollins, 2024), a contributor to Routledge's academic literature on traumatic bereavement, and the creator of the Anchored Model - a three-part framework for returning to yourself after loss, trauma, and the slow erosion of self that high performance demands.
I work in private practice in London and online. I consult with organisations on what I call invisible loss - the grief, bereavement, and cumulative weight of change that cultures consistently underestimate. I keynote at conferences, lead workshops for leadership teams, and write The Anchored Letter, a weekly publication on grief, presence, and the psychology of inner resilience.
I do not offer quick fixes. I offer presence, clinical depth, and the honest, humane guidance that allows people - and the organisations they lead - to genuinely change.
The Loss Prescription:
A Practical Roadmap to Grief Recovery , published by HarperCollins, 2024
Grief is not a stage. It is not a process with a fixed endpoint. It is a living, changing response to the loss of something - or someone - that mattered profoundly. The Loss Prescription is a clinically grounded, compassionate guide that meets grief exactly where it is: complex, unpredictable, and deeply personal. Drawing on 25 years of clinical practice, it offers practical tools, honest frameworks, and the psychological clarity that makes the unbearable feel, finally, navigable.
Available in hardback, paperback, and as an Audible audiobook. Available internationally.

Individuals
You are navigating something profound.
Whether you have lost someone you love, a relationship, a career, your health, or your sense of who you are - grief takes more forms than we name. I offer depth-based individual therapy and coaching that meets you exactly where you are. Online wherever you are in the world and in London.
Organisations
Your people are carrying more than your culture acknowledges
Grief, bereavement, redundancy, restructuring, burnout - the invisible losses inside organisations cost more than any wellbeing survey captures. I work with senior leaders, HR Directors, and CHROs to name it, address it, and build cultures that can hold it.
