Online therapy & counselling for grief & loss
When someone, or something, is gone.
Affordable, open-ended therapy for grief and loss. A weekly hour that’s yours, to grieve in your own time.
The grief self-check
How is grief sitting with you?
A short, gentle reflection, written by Hora. It won’t diagnose anything, grief isn’t an illness, but it can help you notice how you’re carrying it.
Private by design: your answers stay in your browser. We don’t see, save or track them, and nothing here is linked to you.
Over the last two weeks, how often have you felt…
A reflective check written by Hora: a signpost, not a diagnosis.
This is a reflection, not a diagnosis. Hora isn't an emergency service. If you're in immediate danger call 999, or NHS 111 (mental health option). Samaritans: 116 123.
How it works
Three steps to get you started:
An assessment
A 25-minute assessment with an experienced clinician, to understand what you need and find the right fit.
Choose your therapist
Straight after your assessment, you’re sent a selection of therapist profiles to browse, each with their own specialisms and interests. You choose who you’d like to work with, and begin soon after, with no long wait for your first session.
A weekly hour
Open-ended weekly sessions online, at the same time each week, held just for you. No contract and no minimum commitment, so you stay for as long as it helps.
£26 for your first assessment, then £40 a session. No membership and no minimum commitment.
How Hora helps with grief
Someone to sit with it, at your pace.
Your therapist is equipped to sit with your grief, and help you carry it. The same steady hour, every week, held for as long as it helps.
Good to know
Common questions
Yes. Grief has no fixed timetable, and it often softens and returns in waves for months or years: especially around anniversaries and milestones. There’s no ‘too long’. If grief stays intense and stops you living your life, that’s a sign talking to someone could help, not that you’re doing it wrong.
Time matters, but so does having somewhere to put the grief down. Therapy gives you a steady, unhurried space to feel it, make sense of it, and stay connected to what you’ve lost, without pressure to ‘get over’ anything.
No. People come to Hora grieving relationships, homes, health, jobs, identities and futures they’d imagined. Any significant loss can bring grief, and all of it is worth taking seriously.
A one-off £26 assessment, then £40 for each 50-minute weekly session: no membership, no minimum commitment, no hidden fees. Genuinely affordable, with your therapist paid fairly.
It’s worth asking who actually delivers therapy this affordable. A lot of low-cost online therapy comes from counsellors early in a one- or two-year training, almost always working unpaid, and sometimes presented as fully qualified when they’re not. Hora is the honest version: your therapist is a psychotherapist in advanced UKCP-accredited clinical training, the deepest and most rigorous route in the profession, closely supervised and with hundreds of clinical hours behind them, and paid fairly for every session. Therapy is open-ended, with no session cap and no income test, and you choose who you work with. Genuinely affordable, and never built on someone’s free labour.
Hora isn’t an emergency service. If you’re in immediate danger, call 999 or go to your nearest A&E. For urgent support, these free services are there any time: Samaritans on 116 123, Shout by texting SHOUT to 85258, NHS 111 for urgent mental-health advice, and Switchboard for LGBTQIA+ people on 0800 0119 100. If you’re not in crisis but things feel heavy, booking an assessment is a good next step.
