Grief and Loss

Even when life is hurting…

In our wonderfully robust Australian culture, when asked, “how are you?” we tend to automatically say “good thanks,” when in reality, we are struggling.

Putting on a brave face can be exhausting and isolating. Especially at times involving an intense loss. Grieving is deeply personal and complex. It can be difficult to share how we are feeling, as we try to protect ourselves and others from the pain.

Grief isn’t just sadness, it is a psychological response involving many different emotions and physiological changes. Nothing prepares us for losses that tear our worlds apart. Whether it be the death of a family member, close friend or beloved pet. Or losses caused by changes in health, the breakdown of a relationship, relocation, children leaving home, retirement or redundancy. Significant loss impacts our emotional and physical wellbeing, our confidence, our security and our future.

At times like these, counselling can help. Offering a balance of active listening and collaborative, evidence-based support, it is not just about warmth, it is a structured therapeutic alliance, aimed at helping clients to safely process emotions, and develop personalised ways to navigate their individual experience.

Counselling can help to alleviate issues often associated with grief such as social isolation, anxiety, depression, stress and feelings of overwhelm, sleepless nights and racing thoughts.
