Jess Goyder · Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist · Online across the UK · In person in Oxfordshire & the Cotswolds
"I found Jess at my absolute lowest. I felt like I was trapped in loops of grief and felt very alone and depressed. I cannot stress how much this process has changed me and my approach to grief. I feel like I've reached an emotional clarity and mental state in 6 months that I never had close to in my life before."
Tom, London
Everything you’re feeling is natural.
Grief is a normal response to loss and change — however it feels for you: the deepest despair, relief, guilt, numbness, or all of it at once. If you're grieving, there's absolutely nothing about you that needs fixing. You may have found time alone doesn't heal. But the right structure will.
If you’re considering this work, you’re welcome to book a short conversation.
I offer specialist support sessions for people who are learning to live with loss, whether recent or long ago. Our sessions are tailored to you, your circumstances and your unique life experience.
I work online across the UK, and in person when appropriate.
I guide many of my clients through The Grief Recovery Method®, an evidence-informed programme that has been developed and used for over 40 years. It offers a clear sequence of steps for working with unresolved grief, with guided work between sessions. You can find out more about how it works here.

Recent writing for Executive Support Magazine: Learning and Leading Through Grief and Loss
“I can't recommend Jess enough - her level of intelligence is matched only by her empathy and willingness to flex to the needs and place of the person she's working with. Totally rigorous and incredibly kind. If I could give 6 stars I would.”
Mike, Oxford
“Last year I worked through some substantial grief and have had profound healing through a process that was guided and supported by Jess. She has quite literally changed how I feel not only about the situations but also about myself. I really can't recommend (or thank) her enough.”
Karen, Surrey
“Jess's listening and dialogue skills were perhaps the most powerful part of the experience... I would recommend Jess without hesitation, and have already done so. Her understanding, patience and encouragement made the whole experience life-changing for me."
Gil, London
“If you’ve been impacted by grief, whether personally or professionally, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Jess is an absolute superpower in this field and we can’t thank her enough for her time today."
