How the course works
Six weeks, live, your way
How Life After Loss, the six-week online grief coaching course, works.
In a small group
£129 including VAT
Live with the same small group, on set start dates.
One-to-one with Steve
£290 including VAT
Private and shaped around you. We aim to start within a week of you getting in touch.
This isn't open-ended chat, and it isn't a clinical programme either. It sits in between: six sessions with a clear shape, delivered workshop-style. Nobody goes round the group telling their story. Every week follows the same pattern, so you always know what's coming:
- Opening (10 min): a short, often anonymous warm-up to settle in.
- Main activity (15–20 min): a creative or reflective exercise on the week's theme.
- In pairs (10–15 min): a quieter conversation with one other person in a private breakout room.
- Group talk (10 min): wider discussion and shared insight.
- Closing (5 min): one takeaway, a reflection prompt for the week, and a self-care reminder.
What to expect
Format
Live, online, group sessions, around an hour, once a week, for six weeks. A small group, not a webinar. Everyone's expected to be present and take part. Sessions are delivered online, so you can join from wherever you feel most comfortable. Camera on or off is your choice.
Cohorts
New cohorts start on set dates and run for six consecutive weeks at the same time each week. Dates change regularly, so the current start dates and availability are always kept up to date on the booking page →. Once you're in, you stay with the same small group for all six weeks.
What the six weeks cover
| Week | Focus | What you take away |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Understanding and mapping grief | A picture of your own grief, and permission to grieve your way |
| 2 | The emotional and physical experience of grief | Effective grounding techniques and a list of what actually helps you |
| 3 | Processing grief | The see-saw model, and a way to ease guilt about living again |
| 4 | Continuing bonds and finding meaning | A ritual and a symbol of connection that are yours to keep |
| 5 | Rebuilding and a new identity | A kinder way of speaking to yourself, and a strength to carry forward |
| 6 | Moving forward with hope | Your own personal Life Certificate and one clear next step |
Each week ends with a short prompt to reflect on in your own time. There's no marking and nothing to hand in.
What it costs
£129 for the six-week group course, including VAT, paid in full at booking. The same course one-to-one is £290, including VAT.
We don't want the ability to pay to be the barrier to getting help. If the cost is what's stopping you, please get in touch and we'll talk through the options.
After the six weeks
Optional monthly one-to-one sessions are available for up to a year after the course, for anyone who'd like continued support through anniversaries and the months that follow. There's no pressure to continue.
One-to-one
The same six weeks, the same STILL Method structure, delivered privately with Steve instead of in a group and shaped around you as you go. It's still a complete six-week course with a clear finish, rather than open-ended sessions. One-to-one courses aim to start within a week of you getting in touch. You talk it through with Steve first, and he sends a payment link afterwards if you both decide to go ahead. There's more on the one-to-one page.
Before you book
This is a live six-week online course, not a one-off session. Once you book, you'll get a payment confirmation from Stripe straight away, followed in due course by a welcome email with joining instructions for the course. For more on format, groups, and our policies, see the FAQ page →.
