About host
Hi, I’m Rebecca-Monique: an ICF accredited (PCC) grief and trauma coach, and coach supervisor. My work is centred around supporting individuals through their healing and growth.
My specialist areas are grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, sense of Self (identity), boundaries and confidence. My modes of coaching are somatic (i.e. embodied awareness) and transformational (i.e. a focus on attitudes, values, beliefs, behaviours, etc.).
I have particular interests in social sciences and human-centred disciplines, including psychology, psycholinguistics, sociology, spirituality and philosophy.
I live in London, UK with my son (who is also blessed with the awesomeness that is hyphenated first names!).
You can find out more about my personal journey and what led me to becoming a coach here, and here.

Hi, I’m Rebecca-Monique – an ICF accredited coach and coach supervisor – and these are my passing thoughts.
Society is underprepared to talk about grief and loss let alone provide adequate support for those of us grieving. So much so that you may not even be aware that what you’re experiencing is in fact grief.
Here are three lesser known types of grief you may be enduring:
- Anticipatory grief: This is where we sense impending grief that we’ll experience in the not too distant future. A work example may be redundancy or losing our job. A personal example could be the looming end of a romantic relationship.
- Ambiguous grief: This is when we grieve someone who is still alive; we can experience this in two ways: someone who is physically present but psychologically absent, for example a parent who rarely expressed love, care, or understanding towards us. The second way we experience ambiguous grief is by someone who is physically absent but psychologically present. The last few years have seen us all connecting less in-person and more digitally. We’ve grieved the loss of physical interaction and touch.
- Cumulative grief: This is where we suffer a loss on top of an existing loss. Think back to the early days of the pandemic, for instance. A lot was happening for many of us. A huge number of individuals would have been bereaved, they may have also lost their jobs; caught the virus and developed Long COVID symptoms; plus the tensions of lockdown might have led to a relationship breakdown.
I explore other lesser known types of grief and much more in my audio-led grief and loss guide.
I’ve curated a 10-part programme walking you through areas such as the different ways grief and loss impacts us, how to take care of our body, mind and soul during our grief journey. And I also provide a proven framework to help you reimagine and redesign your life after loss.
You can access your grief and loss guide now via my website rbccmnq.com (that’s my first name Rebecca-Monique without the vowels, rbccmnq.com). I’ll also put a direct link in the podcast episode description.
My question for you this week is:
What lightbulb moment did you have about your grief from this episode?
Speak to you next week. Until then, be well.
