Adult Counselling
1-2-1 counselling can help when an individual has been bereaved by suicide. It can support them as they navigate through the complexity of suicide bereavement, process overwhelming feelings and thoughts, and adjust to life after loss.
The experienced and highly skilled counsellors will work in a warm, trusting, and supportive environment to help you process the trauma of suicide bereavement and adjust to an unexpectedly new way of living.
They also provide Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is a highly effective treatment for trauma that can help settle trauma responses often associated with suicide bereavement.
Children's Counselling & Play Therapy
We offer 121 counselling and play therapy within the educational setting to children and young people affected by a loss to suicide. Our therapists are client led working with children at a level and pace that meets their need.
Children and young people often struggle to vocalise their experience, so we use a range of activities, games and play to engage to assist in expression and develop understanding of internal processes. The children’s team are highly experienced and work creatively to help children make sense of what’s going on in a way that they can understand.
Group Therapy - Headlight Hubs & Drop-ins
Headlight Project also offer bereavement groups, Headlight Hubs, where individuals meet and gain much-needed peer support from others who have been through a similar experience. Hubs are facilitated by qualified therapists and aim to develop a deeper sense of connection and understanding in a group setting whilst reducing feelings of isolation often felt when bereaved by suicide. They are recommended to individuals who have accessed Headlight one-to-one services and held weekly over an eight-week period.
They also provide a drop-in hub once a month for ongoing support following completion of the eight-week group hub.
Preventative Education & Training
Headlight delivers a one hour “Shine A Light” presentation within businesses and educational settings within the Tees Valley area. Their “Shine A Light” Sessions aims to empower individuals with the knowledge, confidence and skills to have difficult conversations, recognise the signs that someone may be struggling, and connect people with appropriate support and resources.
Together, through education, awareness and open conversations, we can build suicide-safer workplaces, schools and communities where everyone feels supported, understood and able to access help when they need it most.
