Bereavement & grief counselling may help if you experience:
- Loss of a loved one, partner, family member, or friend
- Feeling overwhelmed, numb, or stuck in grief
- Changes in sleep, mood, or appetite after bereavement
- Difficulty returning to daily routines or work
- Needing support around anniversaries or milestones
You don’t need to be in crisis to seek counselling. Many people attend therapy to better understand what’s happening and to develop healthier ways of coping.
How counselling can help with bereavement & grief
- Make sense of grief reactions and feelings
- Process loss in a supportive, non-judgemental space
- Reduce isolation and improve coping day-to-day
- Support adjustment while staying connected to what matters
Therapists may use approaches such as CBT, integrative counselling, psychodynamic therapy, or mindfulness-based techniques, depending on your needs.
What happens in your first session
- Talk through what’s been happening for you
- Discuss what support you’re looking for
- Ask questions about counselling and next steps
There is no obligation to continue. Finding the right therapist matters.
