Ready To Stop Feeling Trapped In Grief - Even After Time And Therapy?

A 21-day breakthrough process to dissolve the mental mechanisms keeping persistent grief alive and allow genuine peace to emerge.

You deserve peace without forcing yourself to move on
and without carrying this forever.

You know the loss mattered. You know the pain makes sense.
But the constant replaying makes it hard to live.

  • Guilt that won’t loosen, no matter how much you understand it

  • Replaying what happened, what you should have done, or what you missed

  • Anger that feels wrong, confusing, or shameful

  • Anxiety and low mood that come and go without warning

  • A sense that you lost part of yourself when they died

  • Feeling stuck while everyone else expects you to be past this

Maybe you’re starting to believe this is just how it is.

You’re In The Right Place

I work with many people in persistent and complicated grief.
Often after months or even years of trying to 'cope'.

Like you, they did everything they could to get through it.
Talking. Processing. Waiting. Trying to be patient with themselves.

Nothing touched the part that actually felt stuck.

My work is not about fixing grief.
It’s about helping you see why the complicated thoughts and feelings around it haven’t shifted.

There is no one way to grieve.
And this level of difficulty does not have to be part of it.

What keeps it going is not the loss itself, but a mental mechanism that can dissolve once it’s seen clearly.

That’s what Beyond Grief is for.

MY CLIENTS ARE LIVING PROOF, AND YOU CAN BE TOO.
"Life-Changing Shift"

Before working with Thomas, I was barely sleeping and was stuck in cycles of fearful thinking and constant checking, I couldn’t find a way out. Speaking with him completely changed my perspective on what was really going on. It wasn’t about fixing anything. It was about seeing it differently. The same thoughts still show up sometimes, but they no longer have any power over me. I’m not afraid of them anymore. That shift has been life-changing.

- Rebecca

"No Longer Trapped By Thoughts"

I'm retraining as a psychotherapist, working with Thomas has offered powerful insights, both cognitively and practically. One of the most impactful takeaways has been learning how to step back from the mental noise that used to feel inescapable. I no longer feel ‘pressed up against the face of reality,’ overwhelmed by thoughts and their emotional, physical, and relational consequences when treating those thoughts as if they are independent and real entities. This has brought noticeable benefits: more patience, better overall wellbeing, and, my personal favourite, lower blood pressure. I couldn’t recommend Thomas highly enough.

- Andy

"I Didn't Need To Change Who I Am"

When I first met Thomas, I was going through a period where everything I thought about myself felt up for question. I believed I needed to push myself and become a ‘better’ version of who I was just to cope with what I was carrying. Through our work together, I realised I didn’t need to change who I was at all. I began to see my thoughts and sense of self in a completely different way, and that changed how I related to my experience.

If you’re considering working with Thomas, I can only say this: he will change the way you see and experience your world. I guarantee it.

The Old Ways of Coping With
Grief Aren’t Working

The Old Models Aren't Sustainable

Time, talking, and processing assume that what you’re experiencing now is something from the past that still needs resolving. When nothing can change what already happened, those approaches can only offer temporary relief.

What If There's A Different Way?

Beyond Grief offers clarity around what’s actually keeping the experience active now, rather than focusing on what happened then. When that becomes clear, the intensity begins to ease without effort or coping.

There Is A Better Way; A Simpler Way

Together, We Discover

1.
Safe To Feel

No more fighting your experience.

You’ll stop experiencing your thoughts and feelings as a threat or as something that shouldn’t be there. No matter what shows up, you won’t need to brace against it, avoid it, or escape it.

2.
Remember With Love, Not Pain

Without denying what was difficult.

You’re able to think about them with love, without pain, guilt, or resentment taking over - even when the relationship was difficult.

3.
Be Yourself Again

You are not defined by your grief.

You begin to see that you are not defined by your thoughts, your feelings, or your grief. Life opens up without needing the past to change.

These aren’t things to work on or achieve. They’re recognised - and when they are, the experience begins to change.

And, I’m Going To Show You How

Hi, I’m Thomas Wood

I work with people whose grief hasn’t softened with time, not because they’re broken, but because they’re caught in a way of relating to their experience that keeps it alive.

This understanding came from seeing clearly what was actually happening in my own experience.

I struggled for most of my life with anxiety and depression. When my father - with whom I already had a turbulent relationship - died by suicide, grief entered my life in a way I didn’t expect.

I loved him and missed him deeply. But grief didn’t show up as sadness alone. It showed up as anger, guilt, and relentless replaying. I questioned how I had been with him when he was alive. I felt responsible. I developed health anxiety and a constant sense of threat. My sense of who I was collapsed under the weight of it.

Like many people, I tried to fix it.

I explored therapy, breathwork, hypnosis, meditation, and positive psychology. Some of it helped temporarily. None of it brought lasting peace. Beneath everything was the same exhausting sense that something about me, or about the past, was fundamentally wrong.

What changed wasn’t more effort or better coping.
It was seeing something fundamental about what I was actually experiencing.

I realised I wasn’t struggling with the past itself. I was struggling with thoughts, memories, and feelings being treated as a problem that needed solving. When that became clear, the grip those experiences had on me began to ease — not because the past changed, but because the way I was relating to my experience did.

That shift brought a level of mental wellbeing I had never known before, even earlier in my life.

This is the foundation of my work now.
It isn’t therapy, emotional processing, or about fixing feelings or resolving the past. It’s about clarity - understanding what’s actually happening in experience so it no longer has the same hold.

That’s what allows change to happen.

Now, I help others uncover that same clarity.

Introducing BEYOND GRIEF

A focused, 21-day breakthrough process to help you see what’s keeping persistent grief alive, and allow genuine peace to emerge.

Through personal, client-led guided sessions, this work isn’t about managing grief, processing emotions, or learning to cope. It’s about seeing clearly what’s actually happening in your experience, so the patterns keeping grief stuck can dissolve.

For most people, the core shift happens within the first one to three sessions. After that, we move into an integration phase to stabilise the understanding and support it holding over time.

Whether your grief shows up as anxiety, guilt, anger, depression, emptiness, loneliness, or replaying, you’ll begin to experience genuine mental freedom and feel like yourself again.

Beyond Grief supports the insights you need to move forward without forgetting

…Even if you’ve already tried everything else.

Talking, therapy, journaling, breathwork. Some of it may have helped a little. This isn’t another way to cope with what hasn’t shifted. It’s a way of seeing that helps what’s been keeping grief stuck begin to loosen.

…Even if your grief feels intense, confusing, or overwhelming.

You don’t need to make it quieter or more acceptable. You’ll begin to understand what you’re actually experiencing, so it no longer feels like something you have to fight, suppress, or escape.

…Even if you feel certain your feelings are valid.

They are. And this work doesn’t dismiss them. It helps you see where they’re really coming from, so they no longer define you or control how you live.

…Even if you don’t feel ready.

There’s nothing to prepare. You’re not being asked to move on or let go of anything important. You’re simply guided to see what’s already here more clearly.

Love, anger, guilt, relief, sadness - all of it can exist together. This work allows memories to soften, so you can remember them with love, without pain or resentment taking over.

…Even if the relationship was complicated.

…Even if you think letting go means admitting something.

Letting go isn’t confession or forgiveness. It isn’t saying it was okay, or that it didn’t matter. It’s clarity

No matter where you are right now, this process helps you see what’s been keeping grief alive - so life can begin to open again, naturally and without force.

My Clients Come To Me Feeling Stuck In Grief,
And Leave Feeling Free To Live Again

“Even when things are hard, I feel light.”

I used to feel like I had to fix everything. The more I tried, the more frustrated I felt. Through this work, I realised I didn’t have to carry all of it. I was surprised by how much lighter things felt, even when life was still hard. I could care deeply without getting consumed. It’s a completely new perspective. I feel more at ease and don’t get pulled back into difficulty the way I used to.

- M.Butler

“I Can Remember Him With Love Again”

I was stuck in guilt and replaying the worst moments. I couldn’t even put up a photo of my husband without feeling horror and self-blame, questioning what kind of person I was for not being able to forgive him for dying.
After just one session, something shifted. The guilt and anger lost their grip. Over the following weeks, I could sit with memories of him, even the difficult ones, and feel love. The sadness I feel now is safe. I don’t need to resist it or fix it. I feel at peace, and close to him again.

– Linda

“What was overwhelming is now an asset"

I currently feel very content and confident, I have a lot more ‘clarity’ than I used to, and I know that the work we’ve done together has played an instrumental role in this. I still ‘feel deeply’, but I now perceive it as an asset, a driving force and a connection to the world around me. Feeling awake, rather than crippled by it.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • This isn’t hours of journaling, daily rituals, or ongoing practices. Most of the work happens in the session itself. Outside of that, there’s nothing you need to manage or maintain. The understanding integrates naturally into your day-to-day life, with occasional reference to personalised resources if helpful (not as tasks, but as reminders of what you’ve already seen.)

  • Most approaches are built around fixing, improving, or changing something about you, or helping you manage what hasn’t shifted. This work isn’t about becoming someone else or resolving the past. It’s about seeing clearly how your experience is being created now, so what’s been keeping grief stuck can loosen. When that becomes clear, there’s nothing left to manage or maintain.

  • You’ll have direct access to me via private messaging, and I aim to respond within 24 hours, often sooner. You’ll also have access to a small library of guided materials to support and reinforce what we’ve explored together. You’re not doing this alone, even when it looks like you’re simply sitting with your thoughts.

  • That hesitation is understandable. Many people feel unsure because they believe they need to be in a different place before anything can change. Part of this work is seeing why that sense of needing to be “ready” shows up, and how it isn’t actually a barrier to clarity or peace.

  • That belief is common in persistent grief, especially when time and support haven’t helped in the way you expected. This work isn’t about proving you’re fine or convincing you otherwise. It helps you see why that belief has felt so convincing, and how it can soften once what’s actually happening becomes clear.

Mental and emotional freedom doesn’t come from fixing yourself or the past.

You’re not broken, behind, or failing at grief. Nothing about you (or the past needs) to change for you to be okay.
