What is Grief Counselling?
Grief Counselling helps individuals cope with the emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual challenges that come after a significant loss. This loss could be the death of a loved one or pet, the loss of a home or job, or any other life-changing event that triggers grief.
Our approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and tailored to meet your unique needs. We work to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express your thoughts and feelings, work through your pain, and gradually find ways to adapt to this change.
When to seek Grief Counselling?

1. Feel overwhelmed by your emotions
2. Have difficulty performing daily tasks
3. Carry guilt or regret in the relationship
4. Struggle to accept the loss
5. Feel isolated or unable to connect with others

What to expect in Grief Counselling
Your first session is all about your story. We take time to better understand your loss what grief looks like for you. We'll discuss your concerns, goals, and what you hope to achieve through counselling. Subsequent sessions may involve:
- Exploring your emotions and memories associated with the loss
- Learning coping strategies for managing intense feelings
- Addressing any guilt or unresolved issues
- Developing strategies for self-care and building resilience
- Gradually finding ways to move forward while honoring your loss
The duration of grief counselling varies for each individual. Some find relief in a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support.
