About the Practice
When a child is grieving, silence at home can start to feel like protection, but it often leaves everyone alone. The Laura Centre Leicester supports Leicester families with play-based and counselling-style emotional wellbeing support for children who need more than another conversation at the kitchen table. The focus is safer expression, stronger connection and practical understanding for the adults around the child.

Clinical Expertise
One-to-one therapy, systemic family work, therapeutic groups and advice line

Death of a parent, carer or sibling, anticipated loss, grief, family bereavement and emotional distress

Bereavement counselling can support SEND children where grief needs concrete, creative or family-aware communication

Why Work With Us?
Leicester Child Bereavement Support: Parents can see the therapist role, membership route and safeguarding position before trusting someone with their child’s inner world.

Family and Young Person Grief Work: Play, creative work and counselling-style support help children communicate through action, story, art, movement and relationship when direct questions only make them close down.

Parent and School Connection: The service gives families a place to speak about loss without asking the child to carry adult grief alone.
