I am Dr Chloe, founder of The Grief Clinic, author of "The Loss Prescription" (Harper Collins, 2024) and a UK Chartered Counselling Psychologist, HCPC Registered, with more than 2 decades, of clinical experience treating Mental Health issues, emerging in the face of trauma, loss, grief, anxiety, stress and depression.  

 

Reclaiming our Mental Health is a powerful response to any crisis. Sometimes life's stresses creep up on us. Other times, violent, unexpected and traumatic events destabilise us to our core, and we don't have the psychological bandwidth or tools to adapt, restore and rebuild ourselves. Often, the busyness of daily life, doesn't afford us the reflective space to tune in and release what we have been holding in our hearts, our minds and our bodies. Finding a way through the givens of our life and the human condition is disorientating, alienating and othering, especially if there have been traumas and losses that are unthinkable, desperately upsetting and emotionally derailing. 

​

In my experience, we don't always know how to be adaptive to restore our Well-Being. What that means is subjective and unique. Many factors shape our mental health and how we respond, as well as what we turn to for support. There are as many grief stories as there are life stories and what works is a compassionate, reflexive, and trauma-informed understanding of what now and what next?  In fact, I wrote "The Loss Prescription", to give people a simple "manual" to adapt to life's losses and embrace life again, best they can.

 I have been fortunate to author many articles on mental health, trauma and grief and have appeared on CNN, BBC Radio 2's Breakfast Show, BBC Radio 4 with Matthew Sayed, Scala radio, local BBC radio talk shows and many leading podcasts, such as Dr Alex George's Stompcast, The MQ Podcast, Grief is my Superpower, the Trauma Report podcast; as well as in print for Huffington Post, Daily Telegraph and The Guardian. My Guardian Masterclass on "How to cope with grief and loss" was a popular event and my book "The Loss Prescription" is available as an ebook, in print or as an audio book (narrated by me) in all major book stores. "The Loss Prescription" is released in the USA on 17th December 2024, and is being translated into a number of languages in 2025.  The paperback is out in July 2025. 

 

I regularly run webinars on Grief, Trauma, Loss and Mental Health for major corporations with a global workforce. I have particular expertise in handling loss, grief, trauma, stress and suicide in the workplace, particularly in law, banking, insurance and finance. I am a lecturer at the Existential Academy and New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling in London, and have been a visiting lecturer on a number of degree programmes including Cambridge University Executive MBA teaching Mental Fitness and Resilience for Mental Health and Wellbeing.​
