Prolonged Grief: When Loss Does Not Soften, and How CBT Can Help

Specialist CBT therapy for anxiety, OCD, depression and more in West London

For most people, grief gradually softens over time even though the loss itself remains. For a meaningful minority, estimated at roughly 10 to 34% of bereaved people, grief remains intense and disruptive well beyond what is typically expected. This is now a recognised clinical category, prolonged grief disorder, included in both ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR. CBT-based treatment at The Lyceum Clinic in West London addresses this directly. BABCP-accredited therapist Sanah Younis works with clients in Chiswick, Ealing, Hammersmith, and online.
