Grief and Loss counselling becomes necessary when a person is so disabled by their grief and so overwhelmed by their loss, that their normal coping processes are disabled or shut down. People experience grief and loss differently.
People may require Grief and Loss Counselling after the death of a loved one (or pet), after a long term relationship ends, or even after losing their job. Grief counselling facilitates the expression of emotion and thoughts about the loss, including their feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger, loneliness, guilt, relief, isolation, confusion, or numbness.
Holistic Grief and Loss Counsellors are able to provide clients with coping skills, emotional support and resources (and sometimes referrals) to help support them through the normal grieving process and also through what is known as 'complicated grief’ which occurs when the client gets stuck in, or does not progress through, the natural stages of grief on their own.
