Bereavement
If you’re working in entertainment and you are dealing with a death or you are trying to deal with either the illness or the end of life of someone close to you, it can be difficult or impossible to take sufficient time off to cope with the loss and sadness such life events present. Inevitably, this can take a very great toll at an already stressful time.
For some artists it can be difficult to get privacy at such times and this brings an extra pressure on top of the challenges of coping with the loss.
“I underwent six months of bereavement counselling to ease performance anxiety which I had been suffering for about two years following the death of my daughter. I found the counselling very helpful.”
