She is particularly interested in bereavement and loss, traumatic loss, and prolonged and complicated grief. She deals with clients experiencing loss, grief, and bereavement due to death, infant loss, divorce, separation, break-ups, loss of a partner, illness, job and role loss, ageing retirement etc. She works with traumatic loss, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and other challenges life can throw at us. Sometimes, people come into therapy to figure it out and wish to avoid overburdening their family and friends. For clients struggling to come to terms with loss after bereavement, some notice that reducing their feelings of grief over time does not happen. Essentially, their grief becomes stuck, leaving them with disabling and persistent symptoms that do not improve. Strong feelings of yearning and distress persist, often coupled with anger, guilt, bitterness, and an inability to re-engage with their life. This phenomenon is called Prolonged Grief. It is now recognised as a diagnosable disorder and can be diagnosed following a thorough clinical assessment as early as six months post-bereavement. Eileen works with an evidence-based treatment called Prolonged Grief Therapy.
