Dr Nathan MacArthur

Since 2009, I have specialised in providing grief counselling to:

• bereaved adults, children and young people 
• people receiving palliative care and their family members and carers
• people diagnosed with a chronic or life-threatening illness and their family members and carers

Some people use counselling as a space to reflect on their concerns to find their own solutions. Others want to learn techniques or strategies to help them to cope better with the challenges they are facing. I believe in tailoring the way I work to the unique needs of each person I meet. To enable me to be as effective as possible in the support I provide to people I draw upon a range of counselling theory and skills including acceptance and commitment therapy, gestalt therapy, positive psychology, strengths-based practice, narrative therapy, Radical Exposure Tapping (Level II, Advanced Practice), cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, and hypnotherapy.

I also provide Clinical Supervision and training to mental health and other professionals seeking to improve their knowledge and skills when providing grief and bereavement support.
