You meet daily with a small, stable team who combine grief-focused psychotherapy with body-based regulation, practical routines, and rituals of meaning that fit your culture and faith.

What we treat

  • Bereavement: loss of a partner, child, parent, sibling, friend or colleague; traumatic loss and sudden death.
  • Perinatal: miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility grief, and loss after termination for medical reasons.
  • Relationship loss: divorce, separation, betrayal trauma, estrangement and ambiguous loss.
  • Health-related: diagnosis-related losses, anticipatory grief, disability or life-role change.
  • Identity & vocational: retirement, business failure, reputation loss, career derailment.
  • Complicated/Prolonged grief features: when pain remains intense and disabling over time (we pace work carefully and coordinate with physicians if medication is involved).

Safety note: if you’re experiencing acute risk (e.g., intent to self-harm), contact local emergency services or crisis support immediately. We are not an emergency service. Any medication plan is set by a physician; we do not prescribe or alter doses.

Why one-to-one care helps with grief

Grief is personal. Group rooms can feel exposing or prematurely structured. Our one-to-one model gives you privacy, time, and pacing that follows your nervous system. The residence is quiet and low-footfall; days are predictable so you can feel and think without performance pressure.

Assessment & mapping

  • Story & bond: who/what you lost, what the relationship or role meant, and how love and ambivalence show up.
  • Peaks & troughs: times of day, places and dates where pain spikes; anniversaries and admin grief (wills, storage, inboxes).
  • Avoidance map: objects, rooms, songs, drives, platforms and conversations avoided since the loss.
  • Body & sleep: appetite, tension, breath, insomnia, nightmares, morning readiness. See Sleep Disorder Treatment.
  • Faith & culture: values, rituals and language you want honoured in the work.
  • Risk & supports: alcohol/sedative reliance, isolation, finances, children’s needs; who is safe to involve.

How we help: therapies, rituals and practical steps

We combine grief-focused psychotherapy with skills and rituals that create meaning and restore movement without erasing love.

  • CBT for grief: work with guilt, “if-only” thoughts, catastrophic predictions and stuck behaviours.
  • DBT skills: distress tolerance for waves, emotion regulation, interpersonal boundaries around unsolicited advice.
  • MET (motivational): align values with small weekly steps when energy is low.
  • TRE & breathwork: downshift arousal, reduce chest/shoulder tension, improve sleep continuity.
  • Family Therapy (with consent): reduce pressure, share simple support scripts, address conflict after loss.
  • Ritual design: letters, memory boxes, symbolic acts, and place-based goodbyes that are private and culturally congruent.
  • Gentle exposure: stepwise returns to rooms, routes, digital spaces, and conversations you’ve been avoiding.
  • Admin clean-up: structure to tackle paperwork and digital estates without overwhelm (short windows, clear finish lines).
  • Optional: 12-Step integration if substances became a coping method; brief exposure only if aligned with your preferences.

Sleep & routine rebuild

  • Fixed wake time & light: predictable mornings to stabilise mood and energy.
  • Evening buffers: low-stimulus wind-down, device curfew, simple food and gentle movement.
  • Micro-goals: two to four non-negotiables per day (wash, eat, move, one connection).
  • Weekend & anniversary plans: proactive rituals and support for dates that reopen pain.

Partner, family and key relationships

With your consent, we host short alignment sessions: what helps, what hurts, and how to give support without pushing. We can include discussions about children, step-families and complex family maps. Privacy remains yours.

Co-occurring issues we plan for

Medical note: where medication is relevant (e.g., sleep, mood), a physician sets the plan. We coordinate and support adherence; we do not prescribe or alter doses.

Aftercare that does not expire

Grief changes shape across seasons. We plan step-downs through Lifetime Aftercare and Aftercare Support with contact windows for anniversaries, travel and family events. Skills refreshers and gentle exposure continue at home. See Life Skills & Relapse Prevention for daily guardrails.


Frequently asked questions

Isn’t grief normal — why seek help

Grief is not an illness. We help when pain is overwhelming, life tasks have stalled, or you want a private space to process and rebuild safely.

How is this different from general therapy

We combine grief-focused psychotherapy with practical structure (sleep, meals, admin, exposure) and rituals of meaning, delivered one-to-one in a low-exposure residence.

Do you treat complicated or prolonged grief

Yes. We pace work carefully, coordinate with physicians where medication is involved, and layer skills so daily life becomes manageable.

Is medication required

No. Medication decisions are made by a physician if relevant. We coordinate but do not prescribe or alter doses.

Can family be involved

With your consent. We use short, focused sessions to align support and boundaries without taking control away from you.

How long should I plan for

Many begin with two weeks for stabilisation and extend to four–six weeks for consolidation. Length is confirmed after assessment.

How to start

  1. Send a confidential enquiry. Share a short outline of your situation and goals.
  2. Pre-admission assessment. We map peaks/troughs, avoidance, sleep and supports via secure video.
  3. Receive a tailored plan. Programme length, focus areas, and rituals/skills we’ll build.
  4. Plan travel. We align arrival with private ground transfer to the residence near Marbella.
  5. First 72 hours. Stabilise sleep, nutrition and routine; begin paced grief work.
  6. Step down. Continue with structured aftercare and targeted support around anniversaries.

Speak in confidence. If loss has stalled your days, contact Oasis Premium Recovery to build a one-to-one plan that honours love and restores movement.
