I am Ghulam Fernandes, a Certified Grief Specialist. I have been trained under the Grief Recovery Institute and Edu-Therapy UK. Combining what I have learned from these trainings with my NLP (a communication approach) training and personal grief experience, I have created The Grief to Gratitude Pathway™ programme.

I have extensive experience helping individuals navigate grief and loss, giving them the confidence to rebuild their lives with renewed purpose.

The Grief to Gratitude Pathway™ is a practical approach that helps individuals move forward after loss of any kind, by identifying and addressing unresolved emotions. It is effective because it provides a structured way for healing, moving beyond traditional "talking" therapies.
