Every person experiences grief differently. Sessions are tailored to reflect your relationship to the loss, personal values and current needs, ensuring that support feels relevant, respectful and empathetic.

How soon after a loss should I start grief counselling?
There’s no fixed timeline for beginning grief counselling. Some people find comfort in talking soon after a loss, while others prefer to wait until emotions feel less raw. The right time depends on your readiness to talk and reflect. Counselling can provide gentle guidance whether you’re in the early stages of grief or still struggling months or years later.
Can grief counselling help with non-death losses, such as separation or major life change?
Yes. Grief isn’t limited to the death of a loved one – it can also arise after divorce, career loss, relocation or other significant life changes. Counselling helps recognise and validate these forms of grief, which can be just as intense. By understanding the emotions tied to change, clients can begin to rebuild a sense of direction and stability.
What if I feel numb or disconnected instead of sad?
It’s common for grief to show up in unexpected ways, including emotional numbness, fatigue or disinterest. These responses are part of how the body and mind protect against overwhelm. Counselling can help you understand these reactions and explore them safely, without pressure to feel or act a certain way. Over time, gentle reflection often helps emotions resurface in a manageable, healthy way.
