Renowned psychotherapist, Julia Samuel MBE, shares her journey from volunteer counsellor to becoming the first-ever counsellor at St Mary’s hospital, supporting families dealing with the devastating loss of their babies and children which then drove her to become Founder Patron in 1994 of now leading charity, Child Bereavement UK. In 2019, after 25 years, she stepped down from active roles but remains Founder Patron, whilst thriving in private practice and the best-selling author of 3 best-selling books which have become invaluable guidance for anyone going through trauma and change. The impact of her work and the insights learnt from helping countless families through difficult times most definitely shape how I have designed Julia’s life in seven charms.
