Welcome. You’ve landed in a place you never asked to be – yet here you are.
And I want you to know: I see you.
When someone you love dies by suicide, there is a door that closes behind you and the terrain ahead is fragile and impossible to understand.
What once felt certain becomes fragile.
There are the questions no one can answer.
The aching why’s. The could-I-have-known’s. The deep, unspoken shame.
It lives in the silence. In your body.
But this grief – your grief – deserves to be met with care, not isolation.
I am developing various support packages because I know the quiet devastation this loss brings. And whilst it can be different for all of us – we often feel we have to stay strong for everyone else.
I also know the slow, powerful journey of reclaiming time for yourself – for your life – not in spite of the pain, but through it.
This space is for those who want more than to just make it through the day with a forced smile on their face.
It’s for those ready to gently, courageously begin the work of true healing and find purpose in their lives.
Whether you’ve lost your child, your partner, your sibling, a colleague or your parent.
You are not alone. And healing is possible. Even here. Even now.
You are welcome here as you are.
“Hope isn’t about pretending it’s okay. It’s about trusting that one day, it might be.”
Hi my name is Dr Sue. And I get it.
If you’re reading this then it’s because you’re living with a kind of pain few truly grasp. I’ve been there too.
When my brother took his own life in 2015, it felt like everything I knew was shattered. He wasn’t just family — he was my big brother, my sense of safety, the person I called when I needed advice.
I was a single mum with 4 children at the time and his loss left me with huge feelings of guilt, confusion, and a silence so heavy it felt suffocating. Even as a counsellor and psychologist, I felt lost — like I was an alien on a strange land without a GPS.
So, I did what many of us do: I kept moving forward. I stayed strong, held myself together for the kids, and tried to ignore the pain. I kept taking them to school, cooking dinner and helping them with their homework. I constantly felt guilty. Guilty that I couldn’t save my brother. Guilty when I was enjoying time with the kids – like I should still be grieving. And guilty when I wasn’t present – afraid my sadness was hurting them too.
For a while, it seemed to help. But eventually, the grief caught up, and I found myself exhausted, disconnected, and questioning everything – who I was now, what life was all about, and if healing was even possible.
But healing is possible. And it begins with small, intentional steps.
Now, I work with people navigating the complicated path of suicide loss. Together, we move beyond merely surviving to build lives filled with meaning, calmness, and hope. You don’t have to face this alone – I now know that you don’t have to erase your love or your grief to heal.

For Professionals & Organisations
Supporting others after suicide loss requires more than compassion – it requires understanding, skill, and care for the supporters themselves.
Dr Sue Egan offers trauma-informed training, consultation, and supervision for professionals, therapists, and organisations working with those affected by suicide. Drawing on her doctoral research in suicide grief, EMDR-informed practice, and years of clinical experience, Sue helps teams build confidence in responding safely and effectively after loss.
Whether you’re a therapist seeking specialist supervision, a service leader wanting to strengthen your postvention response, or an organisation looking to better support your staff and clients – bespoke packages are available to meet your needs.
Together, we can change the culture of silence around suicide – creating spaces where both survivors and professionals feel supported, seen, and equipped.
